Full summary

This motion, introduced by Councilmember Tim McOsker and seconded by Eunisses Hernandez, asks the Port of Los Angeles to prepare a comprehensive implementation plan for all active Public Access Investment Plan (PAIP) projects, with a focus on ensuring those projects are completed in time to support the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The PAIP is a longstanding program through which the Port reinvests a portion of its operating revenue into public infrastructure and community amenities in the surrounding Harbor Area, recognizing that communities hosting the Port should share in its economic success. The motion directs the Port, in consultation with local stakeholders, to produce a report within 60 days that covers project schedules, funding allocations, construction timelines, anticipated completion dates, and any barriers to implementation. It also calls for a recommended project sequencing and prioritization framework that identifies which PAIP projects are most critical for Olympic readiness. Specific projects mentioned include gateway improvements along the State Route 47 corridor into downtown San Pedro — median enhancements, upgraded lighting, and wayfinding signage — as well as substantial upgrades to the Cabrillo Beach Youth Waterfront Sports Center. The motion frames these investments as both Olympic infrastructure and lasting community legacy projects. McOsker also situates the motion within broader City Charter reform discussions, arguing that the PAIP commitment should be preserved and institutionalized so future generations continue to benefit from sustained waterfront and infrastructure investment regardless of how port governance may evolve. The motion was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on June 17, 2026. The committee approved it on August 11, 2026, and the file remains open pending full City Council action.
