I don't think one will be necessary here; I can't see any judge granting an injunction, or the government issuing anything other than a FONSI, thus, no EIS.

Take a look at the history of attempts to get the first subways built . . . if this timeline is met, this will mhave been breathtakingly fast by historical standards.

Remember that a year ago, if you told people we'd be at this point today, you'd have been laughed at.

Reach out to reporters. Harangue your reps. Keep this plan alive.

Remember that this legislation was not inscribed on stone tablets and given to us by Moses - not even by Robert Moses.

As at Atlantic Yards, the question will not be who is right or who is wrong, but whether a judge grants an injunction.

With an injunction, the project is killed by delay even if the suit is eventually dismissed, as the plaintiffs can work to drag it out as long as possible. Without one, an EIS can be drawn up just in case or, presented with a fait accompli after a long lawsuit, a judge can be convinced that REMOVING congestion pricing would have the environment.

In any event, such a suit and result might finally convince the rest of the environmentalists that the environmental review process is a politicized dishonest mess that hurts, among other things, the environment. Lots of them already know.
