What Happened: A high-end restaurant operator leased property on Holyoke Street in Harvard Square knowing that the university/landlord was planning to undertake a major, four-year construction project spanning an entire city block across the street. The blasting work began two months later. A few months later, the contractor, with the city and Harvard’s permission, closed Holyoke Street during work hours to facilitate construction.
