Last week, we reported Methodist had unveiled a new design for its proposed expansion in Park Slope in response to community feedback, but the actual renderings had not yet been published. Here they are. The altered proposal is designed to look more like a group of townhouses, with a glass tower set back on top that is meant to blend in with the sky and be less noticeable. How do you like the look, and do you think it will fit in well in the neighborhood?

  1. The fact that NYM is trying to push through a plan to put hundreds of thousands of additional square feet into a already overloaded residential neighborhood without having even started the environmental impact or traffic studies speaks to their lack of consideration for its neighbors and the neighborhood. This building will cast a huge shadow on the surrounding streets, and will clog the already overloaded streets.

  2. According to your logic, only residents of the neighborhood should be able to get treatment at Methodist. Hospitals obviously do not treat only those living right near them, especially in these times. With so many neighborhood hospitals closing, why not spread the healthcare facilities across neighborhoods?

    And don’t start giving history lessons, please. There weren’t cars in 1880, there weren’t nearly as many people, and Methodist wasn’t nearly as big as it is now.

    It’s clear that you don’t know WTF you’re talking about.
