Politics aside, LA28's silence is so perplexing from a strategic perspective. The refusal to guarantee the safety of LA's immigrant community could end up seriously impacting the organizing committee's ability to deliver the games.
Even the Dodgers eventually said something. What is going on?
Even the Dodgers eventually said something. What is going on?
During the past six months, virtually every civic organization in Southern California has put out a statement denouncing ICE activity. Yet LA28, the private nonprofit that serves as LA's Olympic and Paralympic organizing committee, and aspires to be a civic organization, has said nothing
Why won't LA28 support LA's immigrants?
"An Olympics and Paralympics security plan that gives control to a federal administration that is already attacking immigrants in our city and across the nation puts our entire community at risk"

Regular Board Meeting - Metro Board
REMINDER for the Regular Board Meeting, Thursday, December 04, 2025:Public comment is not taken on Consent Calendar Items. Due to the want for overwhelming public participation on Consent Calendar Item 16 (LA Aerial Rapid Transit), it is likely that each person will only be given 30 seconds to speak during their turn for public comment under general public comment to ensure the maximum number of speakers are heard. This will be implemented for both in-person and call-in speakers at the discretion of the Chair of the Board in accordance with LACMTA's Administrative Ordinance, Section 2-01-130. To circumvent this process and ensure your comment is seen by the Board before the vote, please submit your comment via email before 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, December 3, 2025, by sending it to [email protected].

Streets for All is asking Board of Public Works reconsider the HLA appeals they denied last week.
Los Angeles is trying to avoid HLA by claiming that it is “restriping without making other improvements” when, in fact, it’s making many other changes across multiple projects.
This behavior must stop.
Read the letter we sent to the Mayor, LADOT, and the Board of Public Works

Outside of 1.4 mile of new bus lanes (😍) this 5-mile project isn't much... but as a cyclist, I dread riding on these frankly dangerously poorly maintained streets (especially Alvarado by the 101), so I am relieved that Caltrans will finally resurface.
Caltrans is rehabbing 5 miles of Santa Monica Blvd, Glendale Blvd, & Alvarado Street. The project adds new bus lanes on SaMo Blvd (from the 405 to Centinela), plus resurfacing, sidewalk repair/upgrade, bus stop upgrades. Sidewalk work is well underway on Alvarado. la.streetsblog.org/2025/12/03/e...
