California Court of Appeal

In a case in which a coalition of homeowners' associations, community groups and unaffiliated citizens sought a writ of mandate asking the trial court to order the Board of the Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority to vacate and set aside its approval of an EIR and other project approvals, the appellate court holds that an agency's use of a projected future baseline, when supported by substantial evidence, is an appropriate means to analyze the traffic and air quality effects of a long-term infrastructure project.
