A lengthy discussion was had concerning the vacant lot on Cabrini Blvd. Some felt that the suggestion is impractical. Our guests from 186 Pinehurst expressed concern about the impact of construction on adjacent buildings and about the impact on the immediate neighborhood of such an institutions presence. The first choice use for this lot seemed to be a park of some kind, and there was talk of a neighborhood initiative to buy it for that purpose, if someone would come forward to spearhead such an initiative. In principle the idea of the Hudson Heights Athenaeum was welcomed but the hope was expressed that the group looking to put this idea into practice would look for pre-existing buildings in the neighborhood rather than build from scratch on the vacant lot.
