Well...the problem is CEQA. Once a litigation is triggered, it can takes years to resolve.

After a quick review of CEQA, I believe the plan of OAK is to see if adding a new terminal is possible. If not, then the planned new terminal will be re-purposed as a modernized terminal, replacing the old one.

Note - replacement is exempted from CEQA.
