South Pasadena Residents Opposition To Gold Line Nuisances

The Gold Line runs through South Pasadena just a few feet away from homes and businesses, the closest home being only twelve feet away from the trains. Many South Pasadena residents and business owners object to noise and vibration levels of trains running through their city and have campaigned vigorously to require mitigation. These residents claim that the Gold Line was built to inferior standards to save money and now they are pleading their case in an administrative hearing process demanding that operational changes be made along the line in the area surrounding the Gold Line Mission station. If they fail, they will then take the MTA to court to demand renovations costing up to six hundred million dollars. Larry is joined by David Margrave, South Pasadena City Councilman, voting member of the Blue Line Construction Authority Board and leader of a group of South Pasadena residents campaigning to require noise and vibration mitigation, and Michael Cacciotti, South Pasadena Mayor.
