Coming to the Cathedral's Rescue
A group of thoughtful Morningside Heights residents have put together a website that supports sensible development on the grounds of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. This is exactly the development that startsandfits.com is advocating as well because it will improve the city fabric and enliven the streets in an underused area, improve upon parking and barbed-wire fencing on two sites and help finance desperately needed maintenance for the struggling cathedral. Finding this website is a wonderfully pleasant surprise for someone who has come to expect that all neighbors of all institutions everywhere in New York City will blindly oppose the construction of any new building, no matter how ugly, inappropriate or unfortunate the status quo may be. Be sure to sign the petition to allow sensible development on the grounds of the cathedral.
