City can require hospital EIR
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has allowed the City Council to go back and ask for an environmental impact report on the $180 million expansion of Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, an action that could postpone construction.Susan Abram in the Daily News.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Thomas I. McKnew Jr. is expected to sign off Thursday on his earlier ruling, which sided with a community group that wants more studies done to determine the effects the project will have on the neighborhood.
His judgment puts the future of the expansion back into the hands of the City Council. Construction would be postponed until the city approves an EIR.
