Gold Line Extension Moving Forward

The first phase of the Gold Line Foothill Extension from Pasadena to the Azusa/Glendora border seems to be on target for a start of construction in June.

That date had been in contention since November 2008, when a victorious county tax measure assured that the line would receive funding but also highlighted differences between local and county transit officials over the time line for the project.

Target dates for completion vary between 2013 and 2017 and some funding issues are yet to be resolved.  But from all appearances it looks like thing are moving forward to relieve some of the traffic congestion on the 210 freeway.
