LAWSUITS AT A GLANCE
The University of California, Berkeley, is facing four lawsuits over its plan to build a $125 million sports training center at an oak grove near California Memorial Stadium.Three of the suits were consolidated and a trial before Alameda County Superior Court Judge Barbara Miller was held last fall. More court proceedings in the case continue today at the Hayward Hall of Justice.
Plaintiffs are:
_ The city of Berkeley, which has concerns about emergency response capabilities, increased traffic from a new facility, and seismic safety.
_ Panoramic Hill Association, a neighborhood association worried about noise, traffic, emergency response time into the neighborhood and quality of life issues.
_ California Oak Foundation, which filed because of a lack of environmental study and a desire to save a grove of trees.
_ Save Tightwad Hill, which sued to try and preserve the free views of football games from a grassy knoll overlooking the stadium known as Tightwad Hill.
