The company Mask decided not to build a test tunnel in the west of Los Angeles
This decision was made at Boring Co because of a lawsuit from residents of prestigious areas of Brentwood and Sunset Boulevard.
As reported on Tuesday the agency TASS With reference to Bloomberg, Boring Co abandoned its plans because of a lawsuit from residents of the prestigious Brentwood and Boulevard Sunset districts, who are dissatisfied that the tunnel will be laid without an environmental impact assessment.
“Boring Co. is no longer seeking to build a test tunnel under Sepulveda Boulevard and is instead focused on building a tunnel to Dodger Stadium,” Bloomberg quoted a joint statement released by the parties to the proceedings. According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, the lawsuit was filed in May, but has now been withdrawn because the parties have reached an agreement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Bloomberg reports that Musk's company is completing another 3,2-mile test tunnel in the southern Los Angeles suburb of Hawthorne, from a SpaceX-owned parking lot to 120th Street, where the Boring Co. headquarters is located. “Skates” will move along it - electric platforms that will be lowered into the tunnel through elevator shafts. The goal of the project is to develop technologies necessary to create transport systems in large cities.

Earlier, Ilon Musk on Twitter announced that the tunnel will be open on December 10.
The opening of the test tunnel is a step forward towards the implementation of Musk's plans to create an urban underground transport system, NBC previously noted. In August, Musk announced plans to build a 5-mile tunnel between the existing subway station and Dodger Stadium, through which the 16-passenger “skates” would be able to travel at speeds of about 200 kilometers per hour. However, before construction begins, these plans will need to undergo rigorous safety and environmental impact reviews.
