High-rise not exactly ‘welcome’

To the editor:

This week’s headline of “Activists welcome Simone’s plan B” is misleading. Many of us are very unhappy with the prospect of yet another building that is out of character for our neighborhood as well as Oxford Avenue issues that need to be addressed. 

I attended that Community Board meeting, and it was certainly not evident that we “welcome” any of this plan. I for one hope that the developer is serious about his pledge to work with the community as the project develops. Yes, it is better than the previously proposed Montefiore clinic, but it is way too soon for The Riverdale Press to reach any conclusions about the reaction of the community.
