AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Residents and civic groups lost their final appeal concerning a route change for the second phase of the Taipei MRT Wanda Line. The Supreme Administrative Court on May 20 upheld a lower court's decision, ruling that a new environmental impact assessment is not required. The court determined the route modification, which avoids private land expropriation and facilitates passenger transfers, does not increase environmental impact, given that sufficient safety measures are in place.
