Last Friday the Beverly Hills Unified School District filed a new lawsuit against the Federal Transit Administration and Metro. Beverly Hills entities, primarily led by BHUSD, had previously sued the FTA and Metro to block extending the Purple Line Subway on an alignment that would take the train tunnel deep below Beverly Hills High School. In a 2016 decision that left neither side vindicated, a federal judge ordered Metro to perform additional environmental studies but left in place the overall decision that allows early construction and design work to proceed. According to Metro’s The Source, the FTA and Metro completed the Purple Line’s Supplemental Environmental Impact Studies (SEIS) last December.
