  City of Fremont v. San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit Dist.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Fremont now challenges the EIR's conclusion that a subway through Central Park would be more costly than an aerial structure and thus is "infeasible for economic reasons." It argues the EIR is inadequate because it does not provide any analysis to support the conclusion of infeasibility.
Fremont does not seriously challenge the EIR's estimate that a subway would cost as much as $60 million more than an aerial structure, nor does it dispute that the cost of acquiring the actual right-of-way through the park for both the aerial structure and subway alternatives would be roughly equivalent.
Fremont argues throughout its brief that BART failed to consider its obligation to "acquire" additional park land to compensate for the "severance damages" which would be caused by an aerial structure through Central Park.
