March 5-12: Foothill Gold Line Open Houses

A head of major construction starting late this summer, the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority invites everyone to attend a community open house to learn the latest about the rail project, meet the Kiewit-Parsons JV team and understand how and when construction may impact you.

The station artists will also be available to discuss the public artwork planned for their station at city-specific meetings; see schedule at left.

All meetings will provide the same information, so attend the one that works best for you.

The Glendora to Montclair project will extend Metro Gold Line service to the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair. The first nine miles of the project, from Glendora to Pomona, is fully funded and will begin major construction in late summer and take five years to complete.

If additional funding is secured before October 2021, the entire project from Glendora to Montclair will be completed altogether and take eight years.

The open houses will focus on the Glendora to Pomona segment; but the community from throughout the Glendora to Montclair project area is invited and welcome to attend these meetings, and the Construction Authority will host future meetings in Claremont and Montclair when the additional funding is secured.
