Congestion issues in outer lying cities must be addressed because their congestion directly affects LA traffic. The Gold Line Extension will benefit thousands of San Gabriel Valley commuters who work in downtown Los Angeles. Furthermore, the Foothill Extension will alleviate congestion along the 210 since its route parallels the freeway as it extends east. -Commenting on behalf of the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority While LA County and the greater metro area are in need of a larger and more-encompassing transit system, this system cannot be accomplished with a focal point on Los Angeles alone.
