Better to take a bit longer getting the right line built for the needs of the 99% than to cave to the vocal 1% just because they can find a lawyer (assuming they've actually found one and aren't just blowing hot air).

Exactly! Construction will not even begin on the La Cienega - Century City segment until at least 2016 at the earliest (assuming Measure R+ is extended this November indefinitely). As Zev said, let's just get straight to the courtroom and get this over with. Beverly Hills has no case.
And caving to SM boulevard (which, again, technically is impossible) or bypassing Century City would be the biggest mistake in the world. To let a small hysteria of people dominate a public works decision that the MAJORITY of Angelenos want. I hate it when CenturyCitySubway.org (a paid PR firm on behalf of BHHS) says "oh Metro is doing Constellation for developers"....that is utterly false! The reasonable and sane people want Constellation.
