The environmental group Communities for Better Environment has filed a lawsuit against the Port of Oakland, which manages the Oakland Airport, claiming the Environmental Impact Report approved the airport’s proposed terminal redevelopment fails to account for the harm the project would do to marginalized communities of East Oakland.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Alameda County Superior Court, alleges the port’s environmental analysis “understates the true impacts” of air quality, noise pollution and traffic on the predominantly Black and Latino community of East Oakland. CBE is asking the court for an injunction to stop the terminal redevelopment project from moving forward.
