Even so, the California High-Speed Rail Authority signaled it would reapprove the route along the Caltrain corridor after completing more studies to appease the judge. That could trigger yet another lawsuit, extending a three-year long legal battle against the polarizing $99 billion bullet train project. The cities of Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Atherton don't want the elevated tracks to divide their communities, create an eyesore and lower property values. So they sued in October 2010 to ax the Bay Area route for the San Francisco-to-Los Angeles line. They prefer a railroad that would run through the East Bay and across the Dumbarton Bridge to San Francisco. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny ruled that the rail authority must rescind the Peninsula route to study how the traffic in the far South Bay would suffer if the tracks force the elimination of lanes on Monterey Highway. He said it also needs to examine how Peninsula residents and roads would be handicapped by freight trains running closer to properties. The same thing has happened before. The cities first sued in August 2008, and a year later Kenny ordered the rail authority to rescind the route and redo some of its planning. By September http://www. mercurynews. com The lawsuit merry-go-round may not be over any time soon, though, said Stuart Flashman, the attorney for the cities, a group of Peninsula residents and two anti-bullet train groups. "That may be the take-home message here, that authority will have to keep doing this until they gE it right," Flashman said. "I don't know how many times" we'll sue. It's unclear if further court battles could delay the start of construction in the Central Valley, slated next year, though the rail authority argued it was not a "major setback." Despite the judge's main ruling, the rail authority released a statement claiming victory since Kenr rejected other allegations that its rider estimates were flawed, that underground tracks should be studied for the Peninsula and that an alternative route involving local highways deserves merit. "The two biggest issues in these lawsuits were ridership and route alternatives, and the court ru in our favor on both issues," said board chairmar Tom Umberg. "Additional (studies) may be need� but that work appears to be focused and manageable, and the authority will comply fully with" state environmental law. Contact Mike Rosenberg at 408-920-5705.

The suit, filed Monday in Sacramento County Superior Court, claims that the authority's use from Prop 1A, which created the agency and commissioned a high-speed rail line, cannot bE current plans. According to the suit, the authority's construction of the Valley portion of the rail line illegally � 1A bond funds for a non-electric, or conventional, rail line. The suit states that because the p called for an electric rail system, the use of proposition funds for a non-electric rail line -- eve "preliminary" stage -- violates state law. Redwood City attorney Michael Brady, who is representing Kings County and co-plaintiffs Jo Aaron Fukuda, said the authority failed to seek approval from the Public Utilities Commissior agencies following the passage of Prop 1A. The suit also challenges the state's obligations to pay for the Valley rail line under current co projections. Under Prop 1A, bond funding could not exceed 50% of the funds spent on the V segment. Currently, the U.S. Department of Transportation has granted about $3 billion, whic to a total of $6 billion available for the first segment. The total cost of the segment is estimatE billion, the suit says. Because of the disparity in available funds and cost projections, the plaintiffs asked that the � business plan, released Nov. 3, be declared out of compliance with the proposition and that i funding be supplied under Prop 1A. In April, Brady filed a lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior Court that alleged similar probl� According to Brady, Monday's lawsuit evolved from that case, and includes recent developm the High Speed Rail Authority.
