A proposed ballot measure in Los Angeles would allow voters to weigh in on at least five proposed 2028 Olympic venues, a move that could create even more challenges for the host city ahead of the two-week international competition.
Unite Here Local 11, the union representing hotel and restaurant workers, filed paperwork in June for a ballot initiative that would require Los Angeles voters to approve any major “event center” developments or expansions. This includes sports arenas, concert venues, hotels, and convention facilities. The proposal targets both permanent projects and temporary structures that add more than 50,000 square feet or 1,000 seats, putting nearly a half-dozen Olympic venues up in the air.
