Here is a plan for expanding Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) that is safer and more convenient to passengers than building the planned centralized check-in center near the San Diego Freeway. This plan should please El Segundo and neighboring communities, increase security, reduce traffic congestion and smog, and get passengers to terminals quicker than at present and much faster than Mayor Hahn’s proposed expansion plan.

The east-west rail Green Line passes within two miles of the entrance to LAX at Century and Sepulveda boulevards.
