"Every community in the area has come against it," said Kurt H. Walter, who spoke to the Council on behalf of CARE.
He said that CARE represents a group of citizens who "don't want any more noise." He described the battle against Massport as a struggle of "David vs. Goliath" proportions.
In the second half of the meeting, the Council also passed a motion calling for a zoning analysis and a history of the site of Memorial Drive and Western Avenue. Harvard has discussed the possibility of building a modern art museum at the site, said Councillor Henrietta Davis.
