State Sen. Laura Richardson grills Karen Bass on 110 freeway fire during 2028 Olympics committee

State Senator Laura Richardson brought up last week’s incident where a fire from a suspected homeless encampment shut down the 110 freeway. Such events could negatively affect athletes and tourists spectating the Olympics, she noted. Bass agreed and said they’re working on finding the areas. “This situation, nobody knew that tunnel existed. And so what we need from Caltrans now, are there other tunnels like that?” Bass said, referring to the state transportation department.
