Since the opening of the Metro Gold Line, there have been ten accidents in which mostly high profile vehicles, traveling on the 210 Freeway, have entered into Metro's operating Right-of-Way. The latest incident occurred on Thursday, November 22, 2018.

Staff has been working on developing a design for barrier improvements for the Pasadena Gold Line to effectively mitigate the risks of future breaches into Metro's Gold Line Right-of-Way. Once the barrier improvements design is completed and approved by Caltrans, Metro will procure a construction contract for installation of the improvements.
