Hollywood Park, and other major leisure destinations. However, considering the interests of local residents and small businesses, the focus has shifted to upgrading the central business district.

Preparing Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympics with a Focus on Infrastructure

The 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles require the city to be prepared for major events. Authorities will focus efforts on improving pedestrian and bike paths, as well as bus routes. Innovative traffic management solutions will help speed up the construction of necessary facilities and avoid delays.

Despite the pause, the Inglewood Transit Connector project remains in the plans, though its implementation has been postponed. The consortium Elevate Inglewood Partners has been selected as the contractor for design and construction, and it has received a positive environmental review.

Preparing for the 2028 Olympics Will Continue with a New Approach

Inglewood authorities have also signed a contract with Elevate Inglewood Partners for the initial stage of design, but with a reduced scope. The project will be implemented in phases, taking into account the current needs of the city.
