Once completed, the Metro Gold Line will connect communities from Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire.

Phase 1, completed in 2003, began the connections with 13 stations in the cities of Los Angeles, South Pasadena and Pasadena. From Chinatown to Highland Park to Old Town Pasadena, Phase 1 of the line provides a great opportunity to experience interesting and unique communities in the region, and to view unique public art that represents the area’s history and culture. In fact, some of the region’s most treasured destinations are connected by the line - Olvera Street, Dodger Stadium, Caltech, the Rose Bowl, among others.*

The Foothill Extension Phases 2A and 2B will continue that experience 24 more miles east from the terminus of Phase 1, and include stations in 11 new cities from Arcadia to Montclair. As with Phase 1, each new station environment will be unique, representing the different communities and histories of the cities it traverses. Destinations in Phases 2A and 2B will add to the connections made by the line, including stations within close proximity to the City of Hope, Santa Anita Racetrack, nearly a dozen institutions of higher education, the Irwindale Speedway, and more.

Phase 2C (Montclair to Ontario) is still early in the planning process. Stations in cities other than Ontario (such as Upland and Rancho Cucamonga) have been discussed and may become part of this last segment of the line. As planning for Phase 2C continues, station locations will be identified and new information will be added to this site.

Don’t forget to look at the I-210 Bridge (an integral part of Phase 2A), which is being designed by world-renowned artist Andrew Leicester to be a “Gateway to the San Gabriel Valley.”

* Metro completed construction and opened the first segment of the Gold Line’s Eastside Extension in November 2009. This new extension connects Phase 1 to eight stations between Little Tokyo and East Los Angeles.
