The lawmaker argues an elevated people mover — once touted as a marquee piece for the 2028 Olympic Games — won’t help those living in the community.
Blasting a $2-billion people mover that would link SoFi Stadium to one of Los Angeles' newest rail lines, Rep. Maxine Waters is on a mission to halt a project she called 'ridiculous.' 'To the degree that I can do anything to stop it, I will do it,' she said Wednesday. 'It's a project that has turned out to be totally unnecessary and totally much too costly.
The letter was 'ill-conceived' and many of the points 'fully invalid.' Butts told The Times that Waters did not reach out to him to discuss the matter. He asked: 'Who would lobby against a project that will go on for five to six years and provide prevailing wage jobs for 17,000 people?' The project, he points out, is estimated to add 2,400 to 3,300 daily riders to the Metro K Line on event days and bring in 25,000 riders to Metro's system.
