Torrance Assemblyman Ted Lieu and Carson Senator Jenny Oropeza have introduced state legislation to do something that should have been done years ago: link Los Angeles International Airport to the regional mass-transit system.

The legislation, Assembly Bill 889, would create a new agency to oversee the design and construction contracts to complete a new leg of the Metro Green Line from the rail station at Aviation Boulevard northward to LAX. The agency, dubbed the Metro Green Line Construction Authority, would be charged with overseeing the 2-mile-long $100 million rail construction project, in time for it to be completed before the proposed 2016 LA Olympic games.
