Park Place dispute tests Frederick hospital plan
Frederick residents from Park Avenue Trail Avenue and West Seventh Street gathered Friday to voice concerns about Frederick Memorial Hospital’s Park Place request. At a city meeting Mayor Ronald N. Young and aldermen continued the matter for a month as residents warned of reduced parking increased traffic and safety risks if the street is closed or a parking deck built. Hospital president James K. Kluttz said long range plans may use the street for parking or building extension while capacity remains low and current employee parking worsens street congestion.
