The Cambridge City Council brought the rejuvenation of the Kendall Square urban renewal area one small step closer to realization Wednesday night by approving the Neighborhood Plan for development, but not with out opposition from liberal councillors and neighborhood groups.
The council split along its usual 5-4, independents vs. liberals axis in approving the plan, which was endorsed by MIT, the East Cambridge Planning Team, and the Kendall Square Businessmen's Association.
Jeffrey Petrocelly said that since Sullivan is a vice president and director of the Charlesbank Trust Company, which is located in Kendall Square, he has a direct interest in the development of the area.
Earlier in the meeting, 12 members of the CTOC staged a guerrilla theater event to protest against the Neighborhood Plan for the development of Kendall Square.
The Neighborhood Plan is one of four plans that the council is considering for the development of 24 acres of city-owned land in Kendall Square.
