City warns of closures, Secret Service perimeter checks and expanded transit planning for LA28 events
Summary
City staff said federal designation of Olympic events will require perimeter fencing and Secret Service checkpoints; regional agencies and consultants are working on shuttle, transit and street-closure plans that will affect businesses near venues.
Deputy City Manager Armina Chaparian warned business owners that many operational details remain tentative, but emphasized that the games are treated as a federal event and that perimeter fencing and security checkpoints will be used at venue access points.
"There will be perimeter fencing being put up because the Olympics are considered a federal event. The Secret Service is actually the entity that's very heavily involved," Chaparian said when describing security and access planning. Staff added that regional agencies (Metro, LADOT, Caltrans) and outside transportation vendors are coordinating routes, shuttle operations and consultant-supported plans, and that some school schedules and lane closures are under discussion.
Staff said they will share maps and closure plans when finalized and will work directly with businesses that are adjacent to venues to explore alternative operations or temporary relocation when closures affect ingress and egress.
