Win-River Resort and Casino owner Redding Rancheria told Shasta County Superior Court the city of Redding should restore land illegally sold to a private group back to public ownership, according to recent court filings.

A judge ruled in May that Redding’s sale of city land near the casino’s long-hoped expansion site violated the law.

In a filing made in early June, the tribe said Bechelli Lane “should be restored to … a public street, with the underlying parcel in municipal ownership. Indeed, there is no legal basis for any of the City’s approvals or actions to remain in place.”
