Metro Gold Line may extend more to East L.A.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The newest extension of the Metro Gold Line has been open for just a few weeks, and already officials are considering how to extend it further.

The cities of El Monte, Montebello, Monterey Park, Rosemead and South El Monte are collaborating on a plan to extend the rail line east from East L.A., parallel to the 60 Freeway.

A competing plan would have the trains veer into Whittier, to serve a number of dense housing developments.

Cities in the northern San Gabriel Valley have already won an extension from Pasadena east through Montclair, eventually connecting to Ontario International Airport.
