Trucks headed for the Cowperthwaite site—across the street from Mather House—will still use DeWolfe Street, according to City Manager Robert W. Healy. Residents of the Kerry Corner neighborhood, which includes Banks Street, have complained of noisy construction traffic since at least August, when several residents asked the City Council to request Harvard to reroute the trucks.
