New colleges cause local stir 10.17.06
In a unanimous vote at Monday’s Board of Aldermen meeting, taken after only several minutes of discussion, the Board approved a measure giving Yale the right to shut down parts of Sachem St., Mansfield St. and Prospect Place in return for Yale’s giving $10.25 million to the city for upgrading roads and sidewalks. The vote was a stepping stone in an arrangement that will enable Yale to embark on a massive construction project in the area.
