With appeal of EIR denied, path clears for Warriors' Mission Bay arena

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday not to hear the appeal of the Warriors' environmental impact report, despite the Mission Bay Alliance's latest efforts.

The Mission Bay Alliance has repeatedly challenged the Warriors in undertaking efforts to halt the building of the team's planned arena in Mission Bay. Like the twenty-three challenges to the Warriors on the court thus far, their endeavors have seemed desperately futile — the latest ploy to fail an attempted appealing of the passage of the Warriors' environmental impact report.

Tuesday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors nixed their hopes to stop the franchise's arena project, declining to hear the appeal, a key step forward in getting shovels in the ground and actually starting the construction process.
