Foothill Gold Line E-News Update – August 2024

At the future La Verne station, crews have completed the installation of the tactile pavers along the edges of the platform,the tactile pavers provide visual and tactile warnings to future riders as they approach the edge of the station platform.

With that work completed, crews are now installing the architectural pavers for the standing and walking areas of the platform. The color of the pavers is part of the overall color palette of the station platform structures (such as the canopies and roof elements), which reflect the natural colors found in the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley.

Ongoing Crossing Work and Safety Improvements

Crews began restriping White Ave. between Arrow Hwy. and 6th St. The restriping of the street was a requirement of the California Public Utilities Commission to add northbound capacity to sufficiently reduce the hazard of cars backing up and onto the railroad tracks in the morning and afternoon peak travel periods once the Metro A Line is operational. Once the striping is finished this week, White Ave. will have two northbound lanes, one southbound lane (shared with bikes) and an auxiliary center median lane for left turns.

Preparing First Responders for the Glendora to Pomona Project

This week, the corners of Fulton Rd./Arrow Hwy. in La Verne will fully reopen, as well as Elwood Ave., north and south of Foothill Blvd., in Glendora. Both will reopen this week and will have new traffic signals installed as part of the project.

Work will continue at the grade crossings throughout the project through the end of 2024 to complete punch list items. At a few crossings, more significant work is still taking place. Crews will continue to implement intermittent lane closures in Glendora at the Lone Hill Ave. crossing (click here for notice), and in Pomona at the Garey Ave. crossing (click here for notice - available in Spanish) and at Garey Ave./Grevillia Ave. (click here for notice).
