LA2028; “Twenty-Eight by ’28” initiative
Statement by Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti;
NOVEMBER 30, 2017
Mayor Eric Garcetti, who chairs the Metro Board, led a preliminary discussion during today’s meeting about a new initiative he has championed, Twenty-Eight by ‘28. The purpose of the initiative is to leverage dollars from Measure M — the largest local infrastructure measure in U.S. history — to complete and accelerate 28 new transportation projects across the region in time for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Board is expected to consider and vote on the plan early next year.
Mayor Garcetti issued the following statement on the introduction of the initiative:
“Winning the 2028 Olympic Games gives us the chance to re-imagine Los Angeles, and ask ourselves what legacy we will create for generations to come. Twenty-Eight by ’28 will help us frame the progress we’re striving to make in the years leading up to the Games. This initiative is our opportunity to harness the unifying power of the Olympic Movement to transform our transportation future.” — Mayor Eric Garcetti

Paris 2024; Video Grand Paris Express
The future transport network of Le Grand Paris will be based on a ring route system around the capital, connecting all parts of the Île-de-France region with each other and with Paris itself.
This unprecedented driver of economic and technological progress will provide connections between the three Parisian airports, the business districts and the science and technology hubs of the region, enabling people, ideas and goods to circulate more quickly.
This unprecedented driver of economic and technological progress will provide connections between the three Parisian airports, the business districts and the science and technology hubs of the region, enabling people, ideas and goods to circulate more quickly.
By reducing existing spatial inequalities and bridging mobility gaps, the new transport network will make day-to-day life easier for people in the Île-de-France region, and the new development hubs it creates will help to spread prosperity more evenly – as well widening access to the jobs market.
Once the whole network is up and running, the Grand Paris Express will generate an additional €100 billion in GDP and more than 115,000 jobs in addition to those created by the natural growth of the region. Between 250,000 and 400,000 housing units will also be built around the 68 stations of the future metro system.
