Rail
The briefs in
the Town of
Atherton v. California High-Speed Rail
Authority appeal have now been submitted to
the Court of Appeal. They are posted at the bottom of
this page.
The next step will be Oral Argument at the Court of Appeal.
This case is significant, in that a victory for Appellants could invalidate the ridership model, which is the foundation of all the EIRs the CHSRA will rely on for its Central Valley project. It could also force a whole new EIR, which would review the alternative of an Altamont Corridor in a less-biased manner.
