Supervisors deny EIR appeal, clear way for Warriors' SF arena

The proposed Warriors' Arena in San Francisco’s Mission Bay cleared another hurdle Tuesday.

The city’s Board of Supervisors denied an appeal of the Environmental Impact Report for the 18,000-seat arena. Opponents now have 30 days to take legal action.

"The Mission Bay Alliance is disappointed with the city's rubber-stamp, damn-the-public process at all costs approach to its approval of the ill-conceived and dangerous Warriors Mission Bay proposal," Mission Bay Alliance spokesman Sam Singer said in a statement. "We will look at our legal options and likely challenge the city's decision in the courts."

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee called Tuesday's decision a "huge win" for the city.
