The City of Oakley has expressed disappointment at the news that the Greenbelt Alliance intends to file a legal challenge regarding the proposed development of the East Cypress Corridor.

Greenbelt filed a challenge to the environmental impact report supporting the city’s plan for development of the East Cypress Corridor some time ago. The court found two defects in the environmental report, and ruled in the city’s favor on all of the other points Greenbelt raised in the lawsuit. The city responded to that ruling and took corrective action on the two items raised by the court.

In a recent press release, the city stated that “the project has undergone comprehensive and detailed environmental scrutiny. Environmental concerns raised during the environmental process have been addressed and appropriately mitigated.”
