HART executive director Dan Grabauskas has warned that delay of a decision from the federal court of appeals could once again suspend construction on the rail project. The lawsuit filed by former governor Ben Cayetano and others, is on appeal and oral arguments were heard in San Francisco in August of last year, and the court's decision is still pending.
Pacific Business News reports that HART has plans to begin spending $127 million dollars in land acquisitions this summer, but will not do so with the outcome of the appeal still unknown. Rail construction resumed in September 2013.
