Courtney Gilardi of Alma Street has consistently called into City Council to speak against the cell tower in her neighborhood. She gave a presentation to the Community Development Board on Nov. 5. The city was represented by attorney Anthony Lepore, below. PITTSFIELD, Mass. Ward 5 Councilor Patrick Kavey withdrew his petition to establish requirements for cell-tower permitting but assured the abutters affected by the tower at 877 South St. that the fight is not over. This petition was brought to the City Council by both Kavey and Ward 4 Councilor Chris Connell. The people who are affected by this, I want you to know that you have been heard, and we are going to continue to move forward with this, Kavey said at Tuesday s City Council meeting. And as a city, we really love to talk about transparency but as far as this situation is concerned I don t really know if we had the best interest of our residents in mind when these permits were approved.
