The Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority (the “Authority”) previously prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIS/EIR) for the Gold Line Foothill Extension Project (the “Project”). The Gold Line Foothill Extension is referred to as Phase 2 of the overall Gold Line Foothill Extension Project and, at complete build out, would span from the cities of Pasadena to Montclair. The Foothill Extension Project was divided into two subsequent phases: Phase 2A, spanning from Pasadena to Azusa, and Phase 2B, spanning from Azusa to Montclair. In conjunction with Authority’s decision to proceed with Phase 2A, a Final EIR was prepared based on the Draft EIS/EIR and was certified in 2007, though only for the purposes of extension’s Phase 2A. Because no federal action or funding is involved in Phase 2A, no NEPA action is required. The portion of the Phase 2A from Pasadena to Azusa includes 11.5 miles of track through six cities (Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale, and Azusa), six stations, and the construction of a new Maintenance and Operation Facility (M&O Facility).

This report summarizes the refinement of the LPA as a result of further analysis and comments received during the public review period pertaining to station locations, parking facility locations, the LRT/freight tracks alignment, grade crossings, traction power substation locations, and typical mitigation measures. This refined project definition will be the basis for the environmental analysis in the Final EIS/R (FEIS/R) and for the Advanced Conceptual Engineering work efforts to support the FEIS/R."

The Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair is the second and final phase of the Foothill Extension. It expands the Gold Line alignment 12.3 miles to the east and includes six new stations in the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont, and Montclair. The project will provide light-rail transit service from the Azusa-Citrus Station in Azusa to the City of Montclair Transcenter. The project will share right-of-way with Metrolink but would operate on separate tracks and platforms.

The Gold Line is the most eastward light rail line of the LA Metro system. The Eastside Transit Corridor Phase II extension pushes the Gold Line further east offering rail services to an area that has been without for many years. Using content analysis, time series image analysis, participant observation, and geographic information systems, I found that capital accumulation takes place along the Gold Line Atlantic Station in East Los Angeles and beyond. This phenomenon is revealed through the nearby presence of notable landmarks and businesses that enable capital accumulation through aesthetics and consumerism. A high renter presence, gradual increases in household incomes and property values also proved this hypothesis. The proposed ending stations of the Gold Line extension display similar findings revealing the effort to boost capital accumulation as LA Metro expands the Gold Line east. The expansion east would bring the consequences of capital accumulation. Low-income neighborhoods close to the proposed stations would be the most affected and must speak for a more comprehensive planning that better considers financial vulnerabilities.
