The Airport

1. Terminal improvements must be immediately addressed. LAX is the first and last thing visitors see, and it is embarrassing.

2. Ground operations must be addressed. Traffic around the LAX area is unacceptable.

3. LAWA has made a case that the movement of the runway should occur for newer aircraft and for aircraft safety.

4. Having said that, however, I will listen closely to the concerns of the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses and take those concerns into serious consideration, and will review in detail neighborhood noise, pollution, and safety concerns on the move of the runway roughly the length of one football field. There are some new technologies that may be available for substantial pollution reduction.
