The Honorable A. Wallace Tashima, a senior federal judge with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, has heard both sides of a lawsuit regarding the Honolulu Rail Project. The lawsuit accuses the city of Honolulu and the Federal Transit Administration officials of violating federal environmental laws. The city’s legal team argued that the FTA and the city followed all requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and other federal laws. Tashima gave no indication of how he would rule, or when he will make his final decision. However, legal experts believe that it may be weeks or months before Tashima issues a decision in the case.
