The council finally voted in favor of the expansion and the hospital project is moving forward. Seeing this campus get the modern facilities my neighbors and I rely on feels like a huge weight lifted. Thank you for staying with me until we reached this result.

A PETITION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNCIL
I live in Montgomery County and I am writing to urge you to vote quickly in FAVOR of County Executive Ike Leggett’s recommendation to abandon one block of Lincoln Street so that the hospital’s campus enhancement project can move forward.
The abandonment of Lincoln Street will allow the hospital to separate the main vehicular entrance from the neighborhood and will improve both pedestrian and vehicular safety. In addition, there are numerous alternate routes for vehicles if Lincoln Street is abandoned, such as Southwick, McKinley, and Greentree streets. Lincoln is not the sole means of access in and out of the Huntington Terrace neighborhood.
The proposed addition has a public purpose to provide modern health care with state of the art technology to the residents of the neighborhood and the community at large. The new facility will include 15 operating rooms that will be properly sized and configured and have functional space required for the hospital to deliver quality medical services to the community in compliance with current health-care standards. The greater public benefit that will result from the hospital being able to provide modern operating rooms for patients outweighs the minor inconvenience perceived by a few.
Thank you for considering this important request.
This petition will be sent to the members of the Montgomery County Council on Friday, March 18, 2011.

We are approaching five hundred names and I need everyone to help push us over this milestone. Please send the link to a neighbor because our momentum must remain strong while we prepare to talk to the council.

Seeing one hundred people backing this hospital project brings me so much relief. My family relies on this facility and knowing others see the need for this safety change is truly heartening.

My family relies on Suburban Hospital for emergency care and the safety upgrades from this project are absolutely vital for our neighborhood. Please send this link to your neighbors right now because we need to hit one hundred signatures before the council holds their vote.

My kids walk to school near there and it is way too busy. fix the entrance and get the cars off that street.
The traffic around that hospital is a total nightmare. closing that block is the only way to keep people safe. just do it already.
GET IT DONE. Montgomery county bureaucrats love to drag their feet on everything. the plan is solid.
About time! The hospital needs space to grow and we need these streets to be safer for our families. Common sense people.
So tired of the constant construction traffic in our neighborhood. closing that block is long overdue.
