Riverside Building Plans Approved

Police officers spoke to Hill in the hallway after the meeting.

Hill said afterwards that he planned to continue to advocate for his plan.

“I’m going to do whatever I have to do,” he said. “I’m going to use my power to make sure that this process is a level playing field.”

Power said after the meeting that the University has engaged in “extensive consultation and participation” with the community over the past three years.

Lawrence Adkins, president of the Riverside Neighborhood Association and a member of the committee overseeing the implementation of the agreement, said he was still not satisfied with the plans and would continue to talk with Harvard officials.

“This action doesn’t change anything,” he said after last night’s meeting. “There’s still a lot of breath left in us.”

Lucey also emphasized that the dialogue would continue.

“We plan to continue to talk to the neighborhood about these projects as we go forward,” he said.
