An Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday in favor of the Oakland A’s in a lawsuit that would have derailed the team’s plans to streamline the construction of a new waterfront stadium.
Under the judge’s ruling, a ballpark at Howard Terminal would still have to go through the full environmental impact review under the California Environmental Quality Act. But complaints or legal challenges stemming from the review, which could stall the project, have to be resolved within 270 days as a result of a state bill passed in 2018, AB734.
