Los Angeles City Councilmember Cindy Miscikowski discusses the steps necessary to properly plan for the redevelopment of LAX.
As a byproduct of the Los Angeles City Councils redistricting last year, the Eleventh District was redrawn to include LAX and the residential areas immediately surrounding the property. This change in representation coincided with the Mayors Office putting together the concepts for their $8-10 billion modernization plan for LAX, which includes the construction of a new, off-site parking and drop-off terminal along with capping annual passenger traffic at the airports current capacity of 78 million people. Metro Investment Report is pleased to present this interview with Eleventh District Councilmember Cindy Miscikowski in which she weighs in on the Mayors plan and the planning process necessary to advance significant changes at the regions aviation hub.
