HUGE SETBACK IN COURT FOR HONOLULU LIGHT RAIL
Delays Costing City 7.1 Million A Month
Honolulu Civil Beat - November 1, 2012
A federal judge sided with former Governor Ben Cayetano and others in their lawsuit over Honolulu’s $5.26 billion rail project.
Among one of the options is a permanent injunction.
This is the lawsuit that contended the city failed to give enough consideration to the other alternatives to rail. Highlights from the ruling, courtesy of lawyer Robert Thomas:
“City “fail[ed] adequately to consider the Beretania St. Tunnel alternative prior to eliminating it…”
“The Court does not enter final judgment and/or a permanent injunction at this time…” but invites briefing on the subject.
