Trylon- April 4th 2006-Hearing-Come Testify!

PLEASE ATTEND THE FOLLOWING HEARING & TESTIFY

TUESDAY, APRIL 4th from 1 PM - 5 PM, the City Council
Subcommittee on Landmarks has scheduled an oversight hearing at
Queens Borough Hall (120-55 Queens Boulevard, Room 213, Kew Gardens,
NY) to discuss the Landmarks Preservation Commission's designation
activities in Queens. Public testimony will be taken and the LPC is
scheduled to be present. The Landmarks Preservation Commission also
intends to discuss what it means by "its criteria" in identifying &
designating landmarks in Queens.

The Trylon Theater (1 of many issues) will be addressed as a case in
point, documenting the LPC's failure to hold a hearing at the very
least, which violates the architectural and historical provisions of
the landmarks law established in 1965. This ties in directly with
other landmark-worthy theaters, & other potential individual
landmarks and historic districts in Queens that are consistently
being ignored by the LPC. A general consensus among the community
and preservationists is that we should have a greater say.

A substantial number of borough-wide structures will be put into
perspective, and now is our chance for the Landmarks Preservation
Commission (and the City Council) to hear our voice. We urge you to
come forward & testify about anything landmark-worthy in Queens.
Please spread the word, since numbers are extremely important!
