We’re not sure if the federal funding issue will come up, but the Foothill Extension will be the topic of the day tomorrow – as Metro Chairman Ara Najarian is set to give the keynote speech at tomorrow’s Gold Line workshop in Monrovia. From the press release, Ara is set to talk about how the Gold Line Foothill Extension fits into Metro’s overall regional plans.

However, the meeting’s main focus will be on the public-private partnership opportunities that will come with the construction of the Foothill Extension. Many engineering firms and their representatives will be at the workshop.
