City Councilman Alex Padilla Alex Padilla is a politician in California. He was elected as the State Senator for the 20th District of California in November 2006 and was inaugurated in early December. In order to enter the Senate he had to resign as Councilman for the 7th District on the Los Angeles City , who represents parts of the Northeast Valley, said Sylmar-based Allied Beverages was poised to move to Valencia before the 3 Freeways Commerce Center was conceived.

Bill Larson William Harry Larson (born October 7, 1953 in Greenfield, Iowa) was an American football tight end in the NFL for six different teams. He played college football for Colorado State University. , Allied's general manager, said the company would have saved on business taxes by moving but would have lost money overall because its trucks would be stuck in traffic on the Newhall Pass Newhall Pass is a mountain pass in Los Angeles County, California, USA. Historically called San Fernando Pass and Fremont Pass, it separates the Santa Susana Mountains from the San Gabriel Mountains. .

``If it wasn't for this project, we would have had very few options,'' Larson said. ``The issue is, there is very little land available in the Valley.''

The FlyAway project is expected to have 1,200 parking spaces and provide a convenient option for travelers in the North Valley who use LAX but prefer not to drive or park there, Padilla said.

``I hope that one day, this Sylmar site serves travelers to and from LAX as well as Palmdale,'' Padilla said, referring to a city-owned airport in the Antelope Valley city.

A city transport report found that the first phase of the development could generate more than 4,000 car trips a day with the second phase bringing an additional 4,000 trips.
