From WBJ (h/t to reader W), hints that a settlement may be close at hand between Monument Realty and Metro over the
lawsuit Monument filed in October after WMATA awarded the sale of the
Southeastern Bus Garage at Half and M to Akridge. This is the third Metro monthly board meeting in a row that has "Monument Legal Issues" on
the agenda for an executive session, but maybe this time something will actually come out of it.
Back in February a
judge granted an injunction to prevent WMATA from continuing with the planned $69.5 million sale of the garage to Akridge,
saying that Monument "demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that they were substantially prejudiced when WMATA considered Akridge's nonresponsive bid and participated in improper ex parte discussions with Akridge."
