Group Sues City of San Mateo To Save Bay Meadows

Posted on Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

In a last effort to delay the bulldozing of Bay Meadows for an 84-acre development, the Friends of Bay Meadows filed suit in San Mateo County Superior Court, arguing that the city failed in its environmental report to consider changes to the track’s historic status and traffic around the development site.

The 74-year-old Bay Meadows Race Track, which once hosted 1958 Horse of the Year Seabiscuit, will run its last races on August 6-18.

Developer Bay Meadows Land Co. has planned to build condominiums, shops and offices on the land.
