Writing at the Los Angeles Times, Karen Garcia reports that the sign is set to be removed - albeit temporarily - so that the airport's system of roads can be expanded to alleviate traffic conditions there and make life easier on pedestrians making their way around the airport's grounds.As for why this is taking place now, Los Angeles World Airports' chief development officer Michael Christensen told the Times that it relates to two massive international events on the horizon: next year's World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics. The renovations that the temporary sign removal are part of are scheduled to run through 2030, and the Times notes that a date has not yet been set for the sign to be re-installed.
