Alliance for a Regional Solution to Airport Congestion v. City of Los Angeles

Along with City of Inglewood v. City of Los Angeles and SEIU United Service Workers West v. City of Los Angeles, this lawsuit asserted challenges under the California Environmental Quality Act to the approval of a $4.5-billion set of redevelopment and expansion projects at the Los Angeles International Airport. Among other alleged shortcomings in the environmental review, two of the lawsuits charged that respondents failed to adequately analyze and mitigate the project’s impacts on greenhouse gas emissions and/or that respondents should have approved an alternative that would have resulted in lower greenhouse gas emissions.
