We the residents, students and workers of the Upper East Side of Manhattan and other concerned citizens feel that any rezoning or variances to accommodate Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) constructing what would be

the TALLEST HOSPITAL IN THE WORLD (594'),

in a densely populated residential neighborhood,

with serious traffic and parking issues,

on a fragile power grid,

on a block with a public elementary school and 60' apartment buildings

would be gravely irresponsible on the part of any city or state official, elected, appointed or otherwise.

We are calling on:

Anthony Cohn, Felice Farber and all other members of Community Board 8

Julie Menin and all other City Council Members

Mark Levine, Manhattan Borough President

Liz Krueger, NY State Senator

Rebecca Seawright, NY State Assembly Member

Eric Adams, NYC Mayor

Kathy Hochul, NY State Governor

AND the City Planning Commission, Department of Transportation, Deptartment of Education, Department of Environmental Protection

to reject any and all rezoning, variances and changes of footprint at 431-435 66th St., 432-436 67th St., and 1231-1241 York Ave. NY, NY 10065.

This proposed tower runs counter to everything City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality is trying to accomplish. Once built, it can't be undone.

All we are asking for is balance and quality of life for all on the UES.
