Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill aimed at clearing the way for construction of a controversial student housing project in a historic Berkeley park.
SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill aimed at clearing the way for construction of a controversial student housing project in a historic Berkeley park.
Construction came to a halt in February after an appeals court ruled that the university failed to study the potential noise issues caused by future residents and consider alternative sites. The state Supreme Court in May agreed to hear the case and will make the final ruling on whether the university could resume construction.
Newsom filed an amicus brief in April urging the state Supreme Court to allow UC Berkeley to continue with the housing project. "The campus will resume construction of the People's Park project when the lawsuit is resolved and hopes that the new law will substantially hasten the resolution of the lawsuit," UC spokesperson Dan Mogulof said in a statement.
