for Wednesday May 25th

The quarterly Mercy neighborhood meeting was held last night. Here are a summary of my notes:
1.) The new Spanos building will be finished June 2012 and occupied by Oct. 2013. The rest of the work will take an additional year (tearing down the older building) by Oct. 2014. Three and a half years to go.
2.) Shelly said she would look at the signage problems. See Mercy Blog dated April 25th and 27th.
3.) Mercy has no plans to follow the EIR with regards to trucking routing. The trucks will be unloading on J Street 'till the end of time- 'till I am old (er) and gray (er). How did the city let this happen? See blog dated: March 4th.
4.) A smoking area was discussed at the Mercy Guild building. See Mercy Blog dated: April 6th
More on smoking later.
5.) The oxygen delivery problem was discussed. See Blog dated May 24th.
6.) Hospital flooding was discussed should a levee break. Mercy has no plans for dealing with this other than "we" talked to the Corps of Engineer and "we" will be ok. (Water will fill the basements and be 4 ft deep in the parking lot.) See Blog Apr 12th, May 6th, May 9th, May 13th. Also, flooding will disable Mercy generators- even the new one on 39th St.
