The California Supreme Court has ruled that UC Berkeley can move forward with its plan to build housing at People's Park.UC Berkeley will be able to continue construction of student and low-income housing at People's Park after the state Supreme Court culminated a yearslong legal battle in the university's favor Thursday morning.
An appellate court upheld those arguments last year, potentially sending the university back to the drawing board for another environmental review before it could begin construction. However, UC Berkeley appealed the case to the state Supreme Court, and since then, legislation to close gaps in CEQA paved the way for Thursday's ruling.
