Stop NYC Tourist Helicopters
Aug 6, 2014
Dear friends and members, An article in today's DNA info warns those considering moving to a riverside NYC location to, among other things, "check for nearby helicopter pads" and "for proximity to any flight paths": http://www.stopthechopnynj.org/blog/dna-info-warns-apartment-seekers-to-watch-out-for-proximity-to-helipads-and-helicopter-flight-paths-when-considering-buying-along-nycs-waterfront That should be a warning to anyone looking to live anywhere along New York Harbor and the Hudson River as that is the flight path underneath the 300+ daily sightseeing flights (600+ takeoffs and landings) that operate out of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport at Wall Street. Why does Mayor de Blasio continue to put the interests of tourists and corporations ahead of the health, safety and well-being (not to mention property values) of NYC residents when City Hall knows that the revenues and jobs provided by these helicopter companies are minuscule?! Please, write in to Mayor de Blasio to let him know that his lack of leadership on this issue must come to an end. Your message will be sent to elected officials and the NYC Economic Development Corporation (overseers of the tourism industry) in one click: http://www.stopthechopnynj.org/how-you-can-help.html Thank you and together we will win! www.Stop the Chop NYNJ.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StopNycTouristHelicoptersOverNjSideOfHudsonRiver?ref_type=bookmark
