Now that's odd

Old timers will remember the 1984 Olympics held in the LA area and that UCLA was part of the event. I do recall the dorms being used for athletes. (Not sure if any athletic facilities on campus were used.) And the headquarters offices were on the south end of the campus in what is now the Ueberroth Building, named after the guy who headed the local effort: https://usopm.org/peter-ueberroth/,

Mayor Bass is saying the 2028 Olympics in LA will be carless. I'm not sure that will be literally possible, but LA Metro has released a map and video in response.

The map/video does not show UCLA as a site for anything. And the map and video do not include the subway extension now being dug along Wilshire Boulevard and the stations at Westwood and the VA.

You can see the video below:
