Mayor Karen Bass today announced that her LA Harbor Commissioners have approved $66.5 million in funding to expand road infrastructure and create new pedestrian walkways along the LA Waterfront, which will be the host site for sailing competitions during the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics. Additionally, $3.7 million was approved for construction of new public restrooms at Wilmington Waterfront Park.
“By improving our roads and expanding pedestrian spaces, we’re keeping our Harbor community safe and improving their quality of life by investing in the public spaces they use every day,” said Mayor Bass. “As Los Angeles prepares to welcome the world, we’re leveraging this moment to deliver lasting benefits for Angelenos. I want to thank our Harbor Commission for advancing this critical funding and for being a constant champion of our Harbor community.”
“These projects reflect our continued commitment to the LA Waterfront as our City prepares to welcome visitors from around the world for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “They will also enhance public access to West Harbor and our active, visitor-serving waterfront, creating lasting benefits for generations to come.”
The Port of Los Angeles is North America’s leading trade gateway and has ranked as the No. 1 container port in the U.S. for 26 consecutive years. In 2025, the Port generated $301 billion in trade and handled 10.2 million container units, sustaining its top rank among U.S. ports.
