Gold Line Pedestrian Bridge Funding Amendment
Summary
The council approved adding $2 million in restricted COG funds to the Gold Line pedestrian bridge project, bringing the total to just over $28 million. Bids were delayed three weeks with 60 prospective bidders, and the council wants a serious cost conversation — and La Verne signage on the bridge — before construction.
