PARIS (AP) — Traffic. What will you do about notorious gridlocked Los Angeles traffic? That's the one burning question repeatedly posed to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as she prepares to receive the Olympic flag ahead of the 2028 Summer Games.
“A no-car Games,” Bass said Saturday.

Bass and Casey Wasserman, chairman of the LA 2028 organizing committee, highlighted some of the planning already completed before Paris organizers hand the Games over to them during Sunday's closing ceremony. Bass was preemptive about the traffic, addressing it in her opening remarks.
