City Of Glendora: Foothill Gold Line Draft SEIR 3

Press release from the City of Glendora:

02/22/2022 8:59 AM

IMPORTANT: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information

 The Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Phase 2B Project, also known as the Foothill Gold Line from Glendora to Montclair (Project), is undergoing a supplemental environmental review and the public is invited to review the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report 3 (Draft SEIR 3) and provide comment by close of business on April 4, 2022.

Proposed Project Modifications

The Draft SEIR 3 evaluates the environmental impacts of Proposed Project Modifications. The Construction Authority is considering relocating the parking facility at the San Dimas Station from the previously approved location to a new location south of the project right-of-way between Monte Vista Avenue and San Dimas Avenue – the site is the current San Dimas Park and Ride Lot. The Project Modifications are proposed as a result of coordination conducted between the City of San Dimas and the Construction Authority. Approximately 289 parking spaces would be provided which is consistent with the number of parking spaces planned at the currently approved station parking facility as part of SEIR 2. Relocation of the San Dimas parking facility would result in associated vehicle and pedestrian access changes in the vicinity of the San Dimas Station. All parking modifications would be designed and constructed in accordance with the Metro Rail Design Criteria.

The proposed changes do not alter the scope of the Project as approved by the Construction Authority. The Draft SEIR 3 has concluded construction of the Project Modifications would not have new or more severe significant impacts or require new mitigation measures.

No modifications are proposed for the parking facilities at the Glendora, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont, or Montclair Stations.
