Unsatisfied Hospital
Committee
To Tell The Truth
On March 18, 1963, 738 citiz
ens and residents of the south
eastern section of this City pre
sented "Some of " their reasons
for opposing the rezoning of a
21% acre site for the new L.R.
M.H. to the City Council.
Ninety - eight per cent of the
residents of the immediate area,
and all avenues of approach
within a square mile were re
presented. Friends andneighbors
from, other areas are also repre
sented for they too have an int
erest in the location of the new
L. R. M. H. These people, many
of whom have contributed sums
proportional to their incomes
and other responsibilities, to the
Hospital under the assumption
that it was to be renovated.
Areas represented were Dudley
Heights, Clinton Hills, Wi".ow
Road, and the Ross Avenue area
who also feel that this is an in
fringement on the residents of
the immediate area to deprive
their.' of a residential areasimilar
to that found in other areas of
this City. If this was the last
available site in this area, then
this letter and all of the
others concerning >. would
not have been wriVieii: ? ? ^
The site selected based on a
"suggestion" will.
1. Destroy the residential
character of the neghborhood.
2. Increase thi; hazardous traf
fic conditions.
3. Add to the already congest
ed traffic routes.
4. De - evaluate property in
the immediate area.
5. Deprive the 250 children in
the proposed hozrital area of the
already inadequate recreational
facilities.
6. Deprive the citizens of this
area of the intangible benefits
to be derived from living in a
decent residential area.
The residents of this area have
worked long and hard to provide
a home for their families. Our
homes are dear to us for they
represent a sacrifice and a good
investment. The people making
these decisions, to provide a fac
ility have never considered the
residents in their planning. How
ever, these people have earned
the right to decide what they do
need in the area.
It has been stated that the new
L. R. M. H. will serve 30,000
people. What about the 20,000
people outside of Greensboro
who for obvious reasons cannot
attend the Hospital closest to
them? What about the People
who have contributed to the
Hospital? Did they agree that
this was the best site? Why not
let them vote on the proposed
new course of action? Has it
not been taken for granted that
they might not agree with this
action; just as you have neglect
ed the people in the affected
area?
Can the trustees honestly and
sincerly say that this is the best
site since no one bothered to in
vestigate other possible sites?
Most of the people Involved in
this decision live in well - es
tablished neighborhoods that J
am sure are free from the haz
ards and problems that confront
the newer residents of this area
