The campaign is intended to alert travelers and residents about potential impacts as the $4 billion

On an 11-0 vote, the council agreed to assert the body's rarely-used power to scrutinize and possibly overrule the decision of the otherwise autonomous commission that oversees Los Angeles International Airport, L.A./Ontario International Airport, and Van Nuys Airport.
The campaign is intended to alert travelers and residents about potential impacts as the $4 billion LAX modernization project moves into a new public phase. Much of the work in recent years has involved construction on the new Tom Bradley International fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals Terminal, out of the public's way. But work is now under way on replacing terminal facades, escalators and elevators -- construction that will close off lanes around the airport's horseshoe roadways fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals and affect other public areas.
Councilmen Dennis Zine and Bill Rosendahl expressed doubts about whether the spending and outreach is necessary, and concerns about why the contracts went to firms with headquarters outside of Los Angeles. The firms are located in Santa Monica, Fountain Valley, and San Diego.
"Why are we spending fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals the money ... on firms outside the city of Los Angeles?" fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals Zine asked. "Yeah, San Diego's a nice place, but the fact of the matter is we need to spend that money in our backyard. This (action) fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals puts the breaks on it. Until we get those answers, the breaks are on."
Airport officials say the contracts were awarded after a competitive public process that saw about a half-dozen firms, including Los Angeles-based ones, submit proposals for each of the various contracts.
fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals "Communicating the transformative changes taking place at LAX addresses the Board of Airport Commission's firm direction to create and execute a multi-year strategic and coordinated LAX Capital Improvement public fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals education program," fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals Grady said.
"It is important that we communicate the construction impacts, while also building a sense of anticipation for those who have been demanding an efficient airport that meets today's travelers' needs with more modern terminals, improved runway safety, more places to charge phones/laptops, free Wi-Fi and more dining and shopping options," she said.
"While we are building the airport the public is asking for, it will be complicated to navigate LAX over the next several years. Why wouldn't we tell them all about the more than 25 capital improvement projects that are creating tens of thousands of jobs, without using any taxpayer fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals dollars from the city's general fund?"
The issue will now go to the council's Trade, Commerce, and Tourism Committee, where airport officials will be called to testify about the necessity of the works and how the contracts fallen leaf lake california vacation home rentals were awarded. The council has three weeks to decide whether to veto the board's decision.
