Gold Line Foothill Extension

"Phase 2B" is the project to extend the Gold Line corridor from the Phase 2A terminus in Azusa east to Montclair.

•

Next, the ROW crosses back north over I-210 and Foothill Boulevard into Downtown Azusa.

•

(A third project under consideration, Phase 2C, would extend the corridor further east to Ontario, California and to Ontario Airport.)

•

"Phase 2A" is the project to extend the Gold Line corridor from the Phase 1 terminus in Pasadena east to Azusa.

•

The FEIR studied two Build Alternatives: (1) an "LRT Full Build" alternative which would complete the entire extension to Montclair, and (2) an "LRT Build To Azusa" alternative, which would extend only to Azusa.

•

The Gold Line Foothill Extension is a planned extension of the Metro Gold Line light rail corridor from its current terminus in Pasadena, California, east through the "Foothill Cities" of Los Angeles County.

•

The city of Ontario, in San Bernardino County, has joined the group of cities supporting the Foothill Extension in general, and the proposed Phase 2C project in particular.

•

From Duarte, the ROW closely parallels I-210, along the freeway's south side, as it crosses I-605 and the San Gabriel River into Irwindale.

•

The plan is currently being implemented as two separate mass-transit projects, known as Phase 2A and Phase 2B, with termini in Azusa and Montclair, respectively.

•

From here, the route follows I-210 east to Arcadia, where just west of Santa Anita Avenue, the ROW exits the freeway and transitions to grade.

•

The ROW then continues east along the north side of Duarte Rd through Monrovia and Duarte.
