The Landmarks Preservation Commission will hold an "informational" meeting September 15 at P.S. 75 at 735 West End Avenue on its plan to expand five historic districts on West End Avenue and "stitch them together into one super district," according to an article today at archpaper.com by Matt Chaban.
The article said that "informational" meetings are "typically a precursor to 'calendaring' a project, when it official enters public review, a step that is now expected by October or November."
The proposal would bring 745 more buildings under landmarks protection, the article said, adding that "the result will be two-miles of almost uninterrupted pre-war grandeur." The proposal runs the length of West End Avenue from 70th Street to 109th Street, the article said.
