Endangered Snake Halts BART-to-Airport Work
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
An endangered garter snake has again stalled work on the Bay Area Rapid Transit airport extension.
State wildlife officials ordered work stopped Thursday after a worker found a dead snake. Another snake was found dead last fall. It stopped construction for 18 days and cost BART $1.07 million.
BART and wildlife officials said they did not anticipate a long halt in construction this time.
