The Conservancy continues to oppose Lenox Hill Hospital’s redevelopment plan, which would radically change the zoning on Lexington Avenue. Read our letter to Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine. The proposal is now undergoing the public approval process, and Community Board 8 opposed it. The Borough President’s decision is the next step.
Lenox Hill, now part of the large Northwell Hospital chain, maintains it needs the height and bulk to hold all its surgical needs and ancillary procedures in one place. At least one expert on hospital design disputes that. We hope his testimony is given weight.
