Saturday September 15, 5:10pm: Helicopter Fly-Over to Visualize Height of New Towers.
One of our neighbors has chartered a helicopter to hover briefly over Children’s and take pictures from the proposed height of the new towers. Here’s how this helps:
- He’ll take pictures from 240 feet high. If you can see your house in these photos, you’ll be able to see the new towers from home.
- You'll be able to see the helicopter at 240 feet at about 5:10 Saturday. The towers will rise to the height the helicopter hovers.
No permit is required for this flight; however, our neighbor understands the impact of helicopter noise on nearby residents, so he will make the flight as brief as possible.
If you would like to help support this flight, contact info@childrensaction.com. Please wait a day or so until our new account becomes active. Thanks to our neighbor for his initiative!
September 17, 10am. New Deadline for Commenting on the EIS Scope
The deadline has been extended because the Hospital’s Concept Plan reported incorrect height increments. The proposed increase in height is from 37 feet to 240 feet in certain areas of the site. The concept plan showed heights increasing from 90 to 240 feet, never from 37 to 240 feet.
For further information on the hospital’s Concept Plan, see the links in the right-hand side bar. In particular, see the Community’s Response.
