Settlement clears way for Leonis C. Autry Drive project; CRA secures $8M LA Metro award
Summary
The mayor said a settlement with Camp Carson resolved litigation over 157 acres and unlocked a public roadway project (Leonis C. Autry Drive); she said the CRA received $8 million from LA Metro for part of construction and credited Mayor Pro Tem Cedric Hicks and city legal counsel Sunny K. Soltani.
Mayor Lula Davis‑Holmes said a settlement between the City's Redevelopment Authority (CRA) and the previous developer, Camp Carson, resolved litigation concerning 157 acres and allowed work on a new public roadway, Leonis C. Autry Drive.
Davis‑Holmes said that in September 2025 the CRA was awarded $8 million by LA Metro to fund a portion of construction for the roadway project. The mayor credited Mayor Pro Tem Cedric Hicks and city legal counsel Sunny K. Soltani for work that helped unlock the development pathway.
Sunny K. Soltani appeared briefly in the program and said, "My name is Sunny K. Soltani, and I'll fight for you," a remark the mayor used to thank the city's legal team. The program did not include a construction schedule or details about remaining funding needs and approvals.
Next steps: the city indicated roadway construction and developer negotiations will proceed, with LA Metro funding expected to finance part of the project.
