A judge will hold a hearing on July 21 in the federal lawsuit filed by a group seeking to halt construction of the Meadow Creek Parkway.
The lawsuit will be heard by Judge Norman Moon at 10 a.m. at the federal courthouse adjacent to the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville.
The suit, filed in mid-June by the Coalition to Preserve McIntire Park and one of its members, accuses the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of not sufficiently reviewing the environmental impact of the road and of using the wrong sort of permit to allow the Virginia Department of Transportation to build the road. VDOT has filed a subsequent motion seeking to be dismissed from the lawsuit, arguing that states cannot be sued in federal court and that the agency isn’t accused of any wrongdoing.
