EAST CAMBRIDGE—Bird is the word re: the ongoing plans to redevelop the old Sullivan Courthouse into offices, apartments and a grocery store patterned after Broadway Marketplace in Mid-Cambridge: "Goto also urged the developers to ensure the return of the building's falcons after construction, noting the birds' abilities in reducing pigeons, squirrels and rats. Board member Steve Winter asked the developers to do what they can to encourage the falcons to nest in the building, perhaps with appropriate architectural elements; board member Tom Sieniewicz reminded the meeting that the falcon is the mascot of Cambridge's high school, and also gently urged the developers to try to plan to reestablish or retain the falcons."
