At the site of the future La Verne station parking facility, crews this week completed the demolition of an industrial warehouse. In its place in the future will be a 299-space surface parking lot for Metro riders, as well as amenities for riders arriving by walking, bicycle, bus and drop-off.

Let me get this straight. The MTA is eliminating parking structures at the new Gold Line Stations. In favor of smaller and cheaper to build surface lots; reducing parking probably by hundreds of spaces. Then like at the Azusa/Citrus Station you will put in place paid parking using paying machines that one cannot read in full sunlight. And of course, one does not need a valid ticket to enter the platform or the trains allowing the homeless and the freeloaders to ride for free.
Then the MTA wants us to ride when we cannot find a place to park after 6:00 AM on weekdays, pay for parking and then put up with the freeloaders and homeless on the trains. I use to ride the Gold Line to work in Pasadena but the MTA has forced me off the trains with their poor policies that force paying riders away.
