CHSRA Tries to Ditch CEQA
09/22/14 Filed in: High-Speed
Rail
After losing part of
an appellate
decision,
the California High-Speed Rail Authority filed a
request with the California Supreme Court today,
asking it to depublish the 7/31/14 ruling. That
would mean no other court could consider the
ruling to be precedent, thereby making it easier
to argue that CEQA doesn’t apply to railroad
projects that are under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Surface Transportation Board. All the
papers are posted at the bottom of
this
page.
