To the editor: It’s unbelievable {that a} public chief from California would oppose a transit challenge to scale back reliance on the auto. (“Inglewood wants the individuals mover, Rep. Waters,” Opinion, July 26)
When the Rolling Stones performed at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on July 13, I labored diligently to discover a public transportation choice to the venue. After the present I wished to keep away from getting in my automotive and navigating again throughout Los Angeles.
Sadly, the downtown Inglewood Okay Line station is about 1.5 miles from SoFi Stadium, making it inconceivable to make the most of a transit system that the general public has spent billions to construct.
Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-Los Angeles) opposition to federal funding for the individuals mover linking Inglewood’s main venues to the Okay Line is a long-term consequential blunder by a public official. Due to Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts for supporting this essential transportation challenge.

To the editor: Let the skilled sports activities groups that play at SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome pay for the Inglewood individuals mover.
They may lose income from their outrageous parking charges, however it is going to assist the general public not only for the 2028 Olympics, however for the longer term attendees of occasions at SoFi and Intuit.

To the editor: I can’t go to Inglewood until passing by on the best way to LAX.
There are occasions I want to attend on the Kia Discussion board, SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome, however the visitors and parking state of affairs is so horrendous and so costly that I’m OK lacking yet another Rolling Stones live performance and even the 2028 Summer time Olympic occasions in Inglewood. I hoped the Metro system would ultimately have a direct hyperlink to those venues.
Waters is frightened that the “final mile” hyperlink won’t assist residents. What concerning the cash these of us from the remainder of Southern California spend after we need dinner or purchasing earlier than or after an occasion?
A closed-off system will ultimately rot and die. Please don’t kill off Inglewood, Rep. Waters.
