I was unable to attend Wednesday’s meeting, which ended without resolution (which I’m assuming you already know if you care). Photographer Asha Agnish was there for much of the meeting, and she took these photos. “The contingent in support of 3R wore black and brought balloons while the contingent in support of 2 wore red,” she wrote in an email. “The 3R contingent was asked to removed their balloons before the start of the meeting—someone checked the bylaws and found that signage is not allowed at the meetings. It’s understandable that people are upset about the zoning issue, but I find it disturbing that there is such a palpable and visible divide between neighborhood residents.” Agreed.
