A2: Environmental Lawsuit
Writing on the Great Lakes Environmental Law blog, Noah Hall, the non-profit’s former executive director, puts the recent settlement of an environmental lawsuit filed against the city of Ann Arbor in a broader context: “In agreeing to conduct an environmental study of the impact of adding parking supply on greenhouse gas emissions, Ann Arbor is following the trend of the federal government and other states. Last month, the White House Council on Environmental Quality issued draft guidance on Consideration of the Effects of Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The guidance was proposed as part of an effort to modernize implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its environmental review mandate.” [Source]
