CEQA is an important tool for advocates facing off against polluting industrial projects, but for unambiguously green projects like electrification of existing rights of way, it's just holding back the green transition. Stay tuned for the next pieces in the series! 8/8
The worst outcome is that many agencies won't even consider catenary due to perceived cost, risk, or environmental analyses that overweight "visual impacts". This is a major factor holding back Metrolink and Amtrak CA electrification, as we'll dive into in a future post. 7/
However, these mitigations may not satisfy NIMBYs, who can still sue. Famously, Atherton sued under CEQA to block Caltrain electrification and High Speed Rail. Even though Caltrain won, the suit and associated delay drove up costs (More in the next blog in the series). 6/
What do these mitigations look like? Walls, berms, or even tunnels have all been used to reduce the "impact" of seeing wires. These add costs that do not improve service and may actual increase the impact of construction due to increased soil disturbance & concrete use. 5/
One of the factors assed by CEQA is the Visual Impact Assessment, an arbitrary aesthetic analysis given equal weight to the 8000 yearly deaths by air pollution or the existential threat of climate change. Projects must include costly mitigations if the impact is too high. 4/
After multiple CEQA lawsuits delayed bus and bike lanes in the Bay Area, the legislature passed SB 288/922, which exempt bus, transit, and light rail, with guards for community outreach and nondisplacement. But heavy rail is still subject to CEQA. Here's how that's a problem: 3/
CEQA requires agencies to analyze potential environmental impacts, attempt to mitigate them, and allows citizens to sue if the report wasn't good enough. While this is helpful for potentially harmful projects like gas plants or highways, it has a bad track record for transit. 2/
Why do we need to exempt rail electrification from CEQA? Why doesn't environmental law promote environmental goods like catenary? We've published Part 1 in a series answering these questions, starting off with some basic principles about the law. #AB2503 calelectricrail.org/how-ceqa-holds…
Reseda Blvd bike lanes are official! So many people came out to ride. Got to ride with @nithyavraman and @BobBlumenfield 🚲 Gotta keep pushing them to build more 😎
we love to see it, @nithyavraman ! Four more years!! 🙌
A grant application to fund a 100% affordable development with 95 units barely passed with two Councilmembers abstaining because they were afraid to add a protected bike lane. That's unacceptable. Affordable housing and safe streets cannot wait another year. The time is now.
