Construction Authority
Construction Authority was created by state legislation in 1998
to plan, design and build the Metro Gold Line from Union
Station east to Montclair (updated in 2011)
Enabling legislation provides all necessary powers to complete
the project
Construction Authority is overseen by board of directors Board of directors receives feedback from all corridor cities
through JPA and TAC
Construction Authority works closely with Metro
- Roles and responsibilities formalized in Master
Cooperative Agreement- Construction Authority builds the project per Metros design
and safety specifications
- Both agencies play a role in project safety, planning and
education

Intermodal Enhancements
$9 million FTA grant to identify potential opportunities to improve connectivity
to the future Gold Line stations; $6 million of which is going to implement
recommendations of Bus/Ped Interface Improvements Study

Bus Interface Planning
Began initial analysis - Azusa to Montclair cities
Future grants - work with cities and service providers to re-route existing
lines or develop new lines to service the future stations

Azusa to Montclair extension will create additional
construction impacts
Upon project completion, the fully operational Metro
Gold Line Foothill Extension will likely lead to further
development and economic activity for many years
Efficient transit and appropriate zoning has served as
a catalyst for investment and long term economic
development around stations in other cities
A similar pattern of densification and transit-orienteddevelopment around the Gold Line stations can be
expected and will have an additional significant economic
impact
Long Term Impact
51
8/13/2019 Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority
52/53
The 24-mile corridor can absorb significantinfill
development potential:
1,200 acres of opportunity sites
Roughly equivalent to the size of
Downtown Los Angeles
Cities are actively pursuing
station area development
opportunities:
17,000 DU 3 million SF retail
7.5 million SF office
Economic Impact is Significant
