While the Gold Line extension may not be offering traffic relief, it will be offering beautiful art installations at every new stop.
These installations are all thanks to Lesley Elwood, art program manager for the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority. The construction authority put out a call to artists across the nation to submit their art for the chance to have it showcased at these stops.
One of the artists selected, Jose Antonio Aguirre, drew the themes for his station from the history of the word 'Azusa' and the Gabrielino-Tongva tribe. Additionally, Aguirre called on the Azusa community and students at APU to help with the downtown Azusa station installation.
