Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Azusa to Montclair (Phase 2B)

Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Azusa to Montclair (Phase 2B)

Plan 2B of the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension is a 12.3-mile extension of the existing Metro Gold Line Light Rail Transit line from its current terminus in the City of Azusa, located in Los Angeles County, to the Montclair Transcenter, located in San Bernardino County. In 2013, the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority certified a Final Environment Impact Report and approved the Project. A detailed description of the Project is included in the FEIR and four addenda thereto adopted by the Authority. The Authority proposes to modify the Project to allow for the potential to construct and operate the Project in four phases. In addition, the Authority is proposing a change to the parking facility at the Pomona North Station to relocate the parking from the north side of the station to the south side of the station on Figure NOP-2. In response to these proposed changes, the Authority will be initiating the preparation of a Supplemental EIR to evaluate the potential for significant impacts that may result from the different potential construction and operation phasing options under review, including: Phase 1 - to the La Verne/Pomona Fairplex Station; Phase 2 - to the Pomona North Station; Phase 3 - to the Claremont Station; Phase 4- to the Montclair Station; and the changes to the location of the Pomona North Station Parking. The proposed possible construction and operation phasing is necessary to match with both existing funding and pending/future funding and provides the Authority the Flexibility to build the phases as funding becomes available. The purpose of this NOP is to solicit input on potential issues to be considered and addressed, as applicable, in the SEIR.
