Copies of cards collected door to door within Sunnyside Gardens, chiefly during 2005. The aim was to reach property owners in order to show that an absolute majority supported designation. (Majority support is not a requirement for designation, but as so many owners were demonstratively in favor, this was evidence to expedite the political process by assuring elected officials.) These cards also include many tenants and enabled the SGPA to build its e-mail and phone networks of supporters in this campaign. The cards exclude the earliest supporters in Harrison Place, who had already voiced their support in the petition below. On legal paper., 2005

Testimony-- in those cases where copies were shared with the SGPA-- that was sent to the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) for its April 17, 2007, Public Hearing on Sunnyside Gardens. Reprints of e-mails [first page headed with "A sampling of written testimony..."] are followed by photocopies of letters. Pursuant to this hearing, the Commissioners voted to designate the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District on June 24, 2007, and the matter was referred to the Department of City Planning and the City Council., 2006-2007

Headed "C - General Information." Testimony-- again, where this was shared with the SGPA-- from the August 8, 2007, Public Hearing before the Department of City Planning (also known as the City Planning Commission), whose Commissioners hear and then vote their approval or disapproval of LPC's designated historic district., 2007

Two individual pages add some amplification to the above. A letter from the SGPA, dated June 11, 2006, addressed to the Chairman of the LPC, sums up the level of support (as yet incomplete at that date), implicitly to urge the LPC to place Sunnyside Gardens on its formal calendar for designation. The other page, headed "from the LPC's... page 3" (reprinting the LPC's summary of its Public Hearing to consider Sunnyside Gardens' designation), served as a cover sheet for supporting materials, like those above, which were delivered to members of the City Council in anticipation of their vote to affirm or overturn the LPC's designation at the conclusion the designation process in early Fall 2007., 2006-2007

Flyers produced by the opponents of Landmarks designation, Dec. 2006 to Spring 2007. As generally happens during the formal process, once the LPC mails a procedural letter to every property owner announcing its interest in designation and then holds a public meeting within the proposed historic district (the Sunnyside Gardens meeting was on November 29, 2006), opponents are aroused, come to know each other at the meeting, and begin an opposition campaign., 2006-2007
