NOTN- A Juneau judge heard arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit challenging the city’s plans to redevelop Telephone Hill.

Former residents are asking Superior Court Judge Amanda Browning to stop the city from demolishing seven residential structures and building higher-density housing on the site.

Browning said she will issue a ruling, but it may take over a week or two.

“What’s happening now is both attorneys put in motions to postpone.” Said Mayor Beth Weldon. The jury trial that had been scheduled for this week is now postponed while the judge considers the motions.
