Opponents of San Francisco Arena Appeal Court Decision

Just when it seemed like all obstacles had been cleared in the Warriors’ attempt to build their new San Francisco arena, legal battles will apparently persist.

The Mission Bay Alliance, a group that has vehemently fought against the new arena being built due to environmental damage, has launched an appeal of the court’s most recent decision.

Environmental attorney Osha Meserve said in a written statement that “the violation of environmental laws are blatant.” Meserve is attorney for appellants Mission Bay Alliance, Jennifer Wade, and SaveMuni.

Past arguments against the arena were about impeding access to a hospital in the neighborhood, but a court ruled that proper precautions were taken.
