Citrus College Hosts Celebration for Groundbreaking of the 12.3 mile Extension of Foothill Gold Line Light Rail Glendora to Montclair segment will allow students to travel freely for generations Citrus College had the distinct honor of providing the location for today’s groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the start of construction on the next phase of the Foothill Gold Line light rail extension from Glendora to Montclair. “Today’s ceremony marks a milestone for both transportation and higher education for our region,” said Geraldine M. Perri, Ph.D., superintendent/ president of Citrus College. “Because of the Gold Line’s proximity to more than 15 institutions of higher education, the completion of the Foothill Extension to Montclair will open doors to educational opportunity for thousands of students for generations to come.”
Along with an estimated crowd of 600, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority joined with local, state, and federal officials in the San Gabriel Valley to celebrate the groundbreaking. Citrus College was selected as the site for the event due to its location, which is less than a block from the APU/Citrus College Station, and because of its dynamic advocacy efforts on behalf of the Gold Line spanning more than a decade.
