Narrative:
There were 3 helicopters over the city to the right side of the departure corridor. I told the E190 about them and cleared them for take off on runway 27. I noticed he was not climbing or flying the SID. He said he was responding to an RA from the helicopters. He did not like them there. I had visual separation with all the traffic as well as the lh controller. Recommendation; I guess if I had told them on departure that we had everyone in sight it may have given them a better feeling.
