As part of our long-standing role as special CEQA Counsel to Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), we reviewed the planning documents and associated EIR for the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), a multi-billion-dollar update to the ground transportation system at LAX, with an emphasis on providing alternative modes of transportation for accessing LAX.  The project includes an Automated People Mover (an elevated and grade separated train system) designed to connect to (1) Metro’s 96th Street Connector Project and Green line extension, (2) Intermodal Transportation Facilities, and (3) a new Consolidated Rental Car facility.  After the City certified the EIR in June 2017, a local parking shuttle operator challenged the certification on CEQA grounds.  The Firm is currently representing the City and LAWA in this ongoing challenge.
