Issue
ISSUE

Since its inception, stations on the Gold Line Foothill Extension Phase 2B have been identified by placeholder names based on city location. Including station names early in the design process is critical for maintaining continuity. Beginning with the original design through Claremont and Montclair, station names appear on many dozens of the design sheets which are used for signage, integration with the Regional Operations Center (ROC), and design of software packages for communications. Station name changes later in the design will cause revision of multiple plan sheets, including revisions in signage, displays at the ROC, and may require reprogramming of audio and changeable message signs. In addition, station names placed in the design become part of the contract documents and bid package. Once contractors have submitted their bids, revisions will generate a change order that could be expensive and impact schedule. With construction progressing, permanent names need to be adopted by the Board to facilitate station signage design and fabrication for the stations in the Cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona and Claremont. The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) will adopt an official and operational name for the station located within the City of Montclair in San Bernardino County.
