LOS ANGELES — A new $1.4 billion electric people mover above the streets of Inglewood would whisk spectators past the Forum to the 2028 Summer Olympics opening ceremony at SoFi Stadium. Across the region, miles of new bike paths, more bus lanes and new bike shares would emerge.
If planners and political leaders can pull it off, spectators of the 2028 Olympics would experience a very different Los Angeles from the one traffic-weary commuters know today, one that would endure long past the Games.
Organizers want the more than a million spectators expected to come to the region for the 17-day Olympiad to eschew cars and arrive at venues by public transit, on foot or by bike. That's a tall order for a sprawling city famous for its freeways, smog and congestion. And it's likely to require billions of dollars to fill gaps in the public transportation system.
