Eight years and 33 alternatives later, Los Angeles is still without a solid proposal for modernizing it's airport.
"What began in the mid-1990s as an ambitious vision--increase the airport's capacity to 98 million passengers a year by adding new runways and terminals--is now a significantly scaled-back proposal that would allow little growth, yet still cost billions... Most of the $103 million spent overall has gone in contracts awarded during Mayor Richard Riordan's administration for plans that have since been abandoned, according to records obtained by The Times."
