PUBLIC WORKSHOP SCHEDULED ON DRAFT EIR FOR CROSS FIELD TAXIWAY PROJECT AT LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
(Los Angeles, California – October 3, 2008) Los Angeles World Airports has scheduled a public workshop to enable interested parties the opportunity to review, and provide written comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Cross Field Taxiway Project (CFTP) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The meeting will be held Oct. 15 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the FlightPathLearningCenter, Imperial Terminal, 6661 West Imperial Highway, in Los Angeles. No decision regarding the project will be made at the workshop.
The CFTP is proposed to add or relocate certain LAX airfield facilities, including: construction of a new cross field taxiway, and adjacent vehicle service road, between the north and south runway complexes and would also extend an existing taxiway; relocation of several aircraft parking locations and a ground vehicle parking lot; realignment of a portion of World Way West that will pass under the new taxiway; and construction of a new fire station/aircraft rescue and fire fighting facility.
