The NCC is consulting the public about the new location of the Civic hospital. Since one of the locations is the nearby Tunney’s Pasture campus, and it’s a locally used hospital, I think it’s worthwhile to point out the NCC’s survey, which is available until October 6th. Have a look at:

The survey asks for a ranking of important factors in the evaluation of the decision. The preservation of agricultural land is one of those factors. Unless I misread it, that is a bit of a slant by the NCC. I don’t think the average vaguely-informed person will connect that factor to the cessation of scientific research; what will leap to mind for some might be the paving over of a rural cornfield.
But thanks for forwarding the survey.

The Civic is presently accessible to the Heart Institute. Moving it directly across the street makes logical sense to continue this accessibility.
