Amtrak Unlimited Discussion Forum: Los Angeles Metro Gold Line - celebration of dedication of Foothill Ex - Amtrak Unlimited Discussion Forum

Since 2003, when Phase 1 of the Gold Line opened between Sierra Madre and Union Station, residents east of Pasadena have looked forward to the day when they too could easily access the Gold Line to get to work, school, friends, and more.

With the adoption of Metro’s Long Range Transportation Plan last month, we now have the necessary commitments to build the Gold Line Foothill Extension to Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale, and Azusa! Construction is to begin in June 2010.

If you are getting this e-mail, you have played a role in this journey and we invite you to join elected officials, community leaders, students, residents, families and others in celebrating this important milestone.

Please join us as we unveil the first of six station billboards and commemorate the kick-off of Phase 2A:
