Kelly Hammargren, one of the petitioners (with James Hendry) who tried to stop the project approved by the Berkeley City Council for 2211 Harold Way, has informed the Planet that she's received word that their petition has been denied by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch. His opinion is posted here.

The project will result in the demolition of the building which now houses the Landmark Cinemas and the Habitot children's center. Developers have promised that both will be replaced in kind. Enforcement of these promises will be the purview of the Berkeley City Council, membership of which will change after the November election.
