A lawsuit challenging a major waterfront project by the Port of San Diego and city has been dismissed.

The lawsuit, which was filed by a group called Public Rights to Bay Access and Parks, attempted to set aside the Board of Port Commissioners approval of the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan Phase 1 Coastal Access Features Project. The group had alleged the Port violated numerous provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the California Coastal Act and that the Port did not properly analyze the effects of other bay front projects on the area.
