Congressman Waxman sends pointed letter to the FBI. A Major Proposed Development Project At The Wilshire Federal Building Threatens To Gridlock Los Angeles Traffic The federal government wants to build a new 1,000,000 square foot FBI headquarters on the federal building property. A coalition of business groups, 300,000 residents and
numerous associations have joined together to fight this project, preserve
Veterans’ land (the 386 acre VA campus, Army Reserve at Federal
and Wilshire, and the Federal Building site) exclusively for direct
services to Veterans and to prevent any federal expansion or
intensification on the Federal Building site. Increased security risks. West L.A. residents already have to deal with protests. With the increasing security concerns in the country, placing a new hardened security target in a densely populated area which is next to a park, numerous "soft" targets and a major freeway simply makes no sense. Impacts on the local community will be significant. This includes construction and ongoing air quality issues for local residents and on children who visit the Westwood Recreation Center.
