The SR-60 and Washington Bl proposed alternatives use the same light rail technology (LRT) as the Gold Line Eastside Extension Phase 1, allowing a seamless extension to cities east of the existing Pomona and Atlantic terminus. The following is a detailed description of the two alternatives under consideration:
SR-60 LRT
This proposed alignment generally follows the southern edge of the SR-60 Freeway within the freeway right-of-way, on an elevated track crossing over freeway ramps, and terminates at Peck Rd in the City of South El Monte. The proposed station locations include:
- Garfield Avenue Station
- The Shops at Montebello
- Santa Anita Avenue Station
- Peck Road Station
Washington Bl LRT
