As reported by the San Gabriel Valley Tribune this morning, “Garcetti also said he would favor adding the Gold Line Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair to the Short Range Transportation Plan, something Gold Line proponents and foothill cities have been demanding. But even if it wasn’t added by the Metro Planning and Programming Committee on Wednesday, he said he would work to find funding for the project.”
