The 9.1-mile extension of the L (Gold) Line from Glendora to Pomona is on time but one city, San Dimas, may affect its opening in early 2025.
An environmental lawsuit filed by the city of San Dimas threatens to dramatically alter service on the 9.1-mile L Line foothill extension, setting up a strong possibility that the light-rail train will skip that city’s station if the litigation delays local construction.on Aug. 26, 2022 against the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority, claiming an environmental review of a proposed parking area next to the future station was inadequate.
LA Metro trains pull into the Del Mar Station in Pasadena with luxury apartments adjacent to the tracks, station, part of transit-oriented development. The LA Metro Board on Thursday, June 23, 2022 passed a motion to create a land-banking program to buy up land near future transit projects in order to prevent high-end projects from going up and property prices rising, something known as gentrification.
“Then we give up all chance of having the station completed in time for the Metro opening,” Balian responded. Balian’s agency has also spoken to LA Metro, the county transportation agency that will operate the extension from Glendora to North Pomona after completion in January 2025. In the letter, Burner laid out a scenario to prepare LA Metro’s June Susilo, deputy executive officer of program management: if litigation drags on, he wrote to her, or the court battle even slightly delays construction of parking that is crucial for the station to open, Metro should run the train to the other stations — but not stop at the San Dimas Station.
The Authority will use eminent domain to buy the property from the city to build a project “for a greater public use.” Officials from the Construction Authority said eminent domain is necessary to keep the project on schedule. In a letter objecting to the condemnation dated Sept. 21, San Dimas special attorney Douglas J. Evertz of the law firm Murphy & Evertz, wrote that the Construction Authority cannot prove the project is for the greatest public good or that the land being acquired is even necessary for the project.
