Critics continue to oppose the building, saying that it doesn't fulfill the original intent of the land for "religious educational purposes." Others oppose because of environmental issues, the safety of children and the proximity to Southwest Elementary School that sits next door at the intersection of 99th Street and Central Park Ave.
