"Neighbors to the immediate west of Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital in Henrico County are frustrated by the hospital's plans to expand its valet parking service &amp;#151; and they've caught the attention of activist/preservationist Jennie Dotts.In an effort to create roughly 130 additional parking spaces for the growing health-care facility, the hospital aims to convert a wooded lot it owns into a blacktop pavement for vehicles. \"This is MCV all over again,\" says Dotts, referring to the struggle preservationists have had with VCU Health Systems over what to do about that hospital's need to expand in the midst of a downtown historic district.The situation developing in the West End neighborhood next to St. Mary's represents what happens when \"institutional juggernauts are plopped down\" in an established community setting, Dotts says.Dotts, who is executive director of the Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods, says residents of the 1950s neighborhood of mostly small cottage-style houses recently contacted the alliance to learn whether the area might be considered a state or federally protected historic district, which would limit construction."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
