    ReThinkNYC Requests that ReThinkNYC Proposals be Treated as Alternatives to be Studied ReThinkNYC • New York, NY • August,20 2020 Reimagined Penn Station’s Main Hall. Digital Rendering by NOVA Concepts. “The Pennsylvania Station in New York is like some vast basilica of old that towers above the terror of the dark as bulwark and protection to the soul.” Langston Hughes 1. Introduction: ReThinkNYC Requests that ReThinkNYC Proposals be Treated as Alternatives to be Studied 7th Avenue Facade rendering by Jeff Stikeman RethinkNYC submits the following supplemental statement and proposals to their July 20, 2020 preliminary written and verbal submissions which were made in response to the Empire State Development Corps Draft Scope of Work (“DSOW”) and request for Public Comment. RethinkNYC asks that this supplementary submission, which incorporates and adds to the prior submissions(with any changes noted), be read as a unified document. RethinkNYC requests that the proposals submitted today be considered as an “alternative(s) to be studied” as set forth on page 53 of the DSOW. While RethinkNYC’s more specific criticism’s are set forth immediately below, RethinkNYC’s overarching criticism and reason for sponsoring alternatives is that the proposed Empire State Complex fails to sufficiently unlock the potential that a modernized Penn Station and transit network would have on the economy, the region and nation’s ecology, aesthetics, fair housing and accessability to the job market, among many other advantages. While the DSOW acknowledges other infrastructure projects — Gateway, Sunnyside Yards and the Port Authority Bus Terminal — it does not coordinate or harmonize these proposals in a way that maximizes their impacts for the region.

  • STARRETT-LEHIGH BUILDING, 601-625 West 26Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 7, 1986; Designation List 186 LP-1295 STARRETT-LEHIGH BUILDING, 601-625 west 26th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1930-31; Russell G. and Walter M. Cory, architects; Yasuo Matsui, associate architect; Purdy & Henderson, consulting engineers. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 672, Lot 1. On April 13, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Starrett-Lehigh Building, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 20). The hearing was continued to June 8, 1982 (Item No. 3). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four witnesses spoke in favor of designation, and a letter supporting designation was read into the record. Two representatives of the owner spoke at the hearings and took no position regarding the proposed designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Starrett-Lehigh Building, constructed in 1930-31 by architects Russell G. and walter M. Cory with Yasuo Matsui as associate architect and Purdy & Henderson as consulting engineers, is an enormous warehouse building that occupies the entire block bounded by West 26th and 27th Streets and 11th and 12th Avenues. A cooperative venture of the Starrett Investing Corporation and the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and built by Starrett Brothers & Eken, the structure served originally as a freight terminal for the railroad with rental manufacturing and warehouse space above. A structurally complex feat of engineering with an innovative interior arrangement, the Starrett-Lehigh Building is also notable for its exterior design of horizontal ribbon windows alternating with brick and concrete spandrels.

    ARCHITECTURAL AND CULTURAL Map &Guide FRIENDS of the Upper East Side Historic Districts Architectural and Cultural Map and Guide Founded in 1982, FRIENDS of the Upper East Side Historic Districts is an independent, not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to preserving the architectural legacy, livability, and sense of place of the Upper East Side by monitoring and protecting its seven Historic Districts, 131 Individual Landmarks, and myriad significant buildings. Walk with FRIENDS as we tour some of the cultural and architectural sites that make the Upper East Side such a distinctive place. From elegant apartment houses and mansions to more modest brownstones and early 20th-century immigrant communities, the Upper East Side boasts a rich history and a wonderfully varied built legacy. With this guide in hand, immerse yourself in the history and architecture of this special corner of New York City. We hope you become just as enchanted by it as we are. FRIENDS’ illustrated Architectural and Cultural Map and Guide includes a full listing of all of the Upper East Side’s 131 Individual Landmarks. You can find the location of these architectural gems by going to the map on pages 2-3 of the guide and referring to the numbered green squares. In the second section of the guide, we will take you through the history and development of the Upper East Side’s seven Historic Districts, and the not landmarked, though culturally and architecturally significant neighborhood of Yorkville. FRIENDS has selected representative sites that we feel exemplify each district’s unique history and character. Each of the districts has its own color-coded map with easy-to-read points that can be used to find your own favorite site, or as a self-guided walking tour the next time you find yourself out strolling on the Upper East Side.

  • Western Rail Yard
    Chapter 10: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION Neighborhood character is an amalgam of several elements that give an area its distinctive personality and help distinguish it from other neighborhoods. These components include: land use; street layout; scale, type, and style of development; historic features; patterns and volumes of traffic; noise levels; and any other physical or social characteristics. However, not all of these elements affect neighborhood character in all cases; a neighborhood usually draws its character from a few determining elements. Using information presented in other technical chapters of this EIS, this chapter examines neighborhood character at the three project sites and the associated surrounding study areas, and analyzes the effects of the Proposed Actions on neighborhood character in these areas. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS The Proposed Actions would have a beneficial effect on neighborhood character on the project sites and in the surrounding study areas. Development of Western Rail Yard would fulfill a long- standing public policy to promote productive use of the site with a lively mix of uses, open spaces, and streets that would complement and support the development in the Hudson Yards area and West Chelsea. Construction of permanently affordable housing on the Tenth Avenue and Ninth Avenue Sites would support the Clinton neighborhood by emphasizing its residential character and the mixed-income character of its residents. DEVELOPMENT SITE The Proposed Actions would change the character of the Development Site, and this change would be, on balance, decidedly beneficial. The site, which presents a blank wall to the surrounding neighborhood on two sides and transportation/maintenance uses where it can be seen, would be transformed with a mix of residential and commercial uses and open spaces, clearly visible and accessible to the public.
