Mayor Karen Bass accepted the Olympic flag at the Paris closing ceremony Sunday .

Tom Cruise , a key representative of LA ’s local business, kicked off the countdown to 2028 .

The city will become the third in the world to host the games three times as it adds to the storied years of 1932 and 1984 .

LA got the 2028 games as a consolation prize when Paris was picked for 2024 .

Landing the Olympics under Eric Garcetti in 2017 gave the city an unusually long lead time for planning.

In 2018 , the city planned an ambitious slate of 28 bus and rail projects to transform public transit.

Some were scrapped but others moved forward, including the extension of a subway line to connect downtown LA with UCLA .
