Follow up letter
Back on October 14th we got a phone call from Mr. Seth Berliner at Tom Duane's office. As of yet we received no response from him. We sent a follow up letter just to remind him we are still here.

Mr. Seth Berliner
I received a very interesting call today, from Mr. Seth Berliner, the legislative aide to Senator Tom Duane. We spoke for a few minutes and I was able to hopefully bring him up to speed on the current situation with the Hotel.

No word yet
Still no word other then the canned response from Duane and Quinn's email. Looks like I'll have to stop down there.

A letter to Tom Duane
Senator Duane:
Forgive my brief intrusion into your schedule, but if I may take a few minutes of your time today, I wish to ask you if you would lend your political support to a matter that is currently before the NYC Zoning Council.
As you may be aware, the owners of the historical Hotel Pennsylvania have filed with the city paperwork to have the current site of the hotel rezoned. Located partly within a C6-6 zoning district and partly within a C6-4.5 and is also partially located within the Penn Center Sub district of the Special Midtown District.
Vornado wants to rezone the spot to allow the construction of Single Tenant Office Scenario and/or a Multi-Tenant Office Scenario. Either of these scenarios would require the demolition of the Hotel Pennsylvania.
Numerous RFE have been submitted to the LPC, with the majority backing of CB5, as well as the HDC, and Assemblyman Gottfried. So far all have been denied for consideration. To sum it up Senator, this hotel should have been preserved years ago when the original Pennsylvania Station was demolished back in the mid 1960's. I ask that you please lend your support to aid us and help by letting the city council know that we the citizens do care about our neighborhood, and the Hotel.
Senator I thank you for your time, and hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Gregory Jones
