Court halts B Street widening for over a year
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Robert Kroninger ordered a full environmental impact study and enjoined progress on the B Center and Kelly streets widening project. The writ of mandamus stems from the Friends of B Street suit. City and county aim to fund the 3.8 million plan with about 2.7 million in federal subsidies. The project would widen B and Center streets to four lanes from Fourth Street to Grove Way and minor widening on Kelly Street.
