Next, the city of Montclair has filed a lawsuit against the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority for defunding the extension of the Metro rail line into the city.
Cassie MacDuffGUEST
Right, the extension of the Metro Gold Line, now called the A-Line, from Pomona to Montclair had been in the works since 2004.
Cassie MacDuffGUEST
But after a dispute with the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority, 15 members of the SBCTA, San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, voted to withdraw the funding the board had previously approved.
Cassie MacDuffGUEST
Doing so broke a decades-long promise to extend the Metro Gold Line across the L.A. County line to the Montclair Transit Center, according to the lawsuit, which says Montclair relied on that promise.
Cassie MacDuffGUEST
Without the $37 million SBCTA had pledged to fund the San Bernardino County share of the extension, the project is dead.
Jessica GreenwellHOST
So what was the dispute that caused transportation commissioners to defund the project?
Cassie MacDuffGUEST
The Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority wanted the county to provide funds for the extension, but it would not give San Bernardino County a single seat with voting power on the authority board.
Cassie MacDuffGUEST
So the 15 commissioners voted to defund the project, 11 voted to keep it.
