Construction authority opposes Measure R amendments At their regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday, the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority (Construction Authority) board of directors voted unanimously to oppose the Measure R Expenditure Plan and Measure R Ordinance Amendments as proposed by Metro. The Amendments are being proposed to allow Metro to accelerate funding to five Measure R transit projects ahead of the year approved by voters in 2008. The changes would only take affect if Metro is able to secure close to $6 billion in federal funding and grants for one or more of the Measure R transit capital projects. Metro is circulating the amendments for comment and plans to hold a public hearing on the matter on June 27. “We are very disappointed and frustrated that Metro continues to blatantly ignore the voter mandate, which clearly defined the Gold Line Foothill Extension project
from Pasadena to Claremont,” explains board chairman and Glendora councilman Doug Tessitor. “Metro has yet again disregarded the request by the Construction Authority to update information in their Measure R Expenditure Plan to include an accurate cost estimate to complete the project to Claremont. As shown in their plan amendment, the project will end in Azusa.” Earlier this year, as required by statute, the Construction Authority board approved an updated expenditure plan for the Foothill Extension project. The updated project-level expenditure plan took into account the latest information known about the project, following significant study and planning completed since Measure R was approved in 2008. “We have a much better idea what the total project will truly cost,” added chairman Tessitor. “We have now awarded all contracts for the Pasadena to Azusa segment and have recently completed exten-

sive environmental studies of the Azusa to Montclair segment. Together, this information allowed us to provide Metro a more accurate estimate for use as they update their overall expenditure plan. Unfortunately, they have chosen not to include the information in their The proposed Measure R Expenditure Plan Amendment includes a total estimated cost for the Foothill Extension project of $758 million, significantly less than the actual cost estimate ($1.714 billion) to complete the project to Claremont. The plan also includes an expected project completion of 2015-17, only reflecting completion of the first half of the project to Azusa. The Construction Authority’s plan estimates completion to Claremont in 2022. The Construction Authority board’s action will now be sent as official comments on the proposed Amendments. The Metro board is scheduled to hold a public hearing at their upcoming board meeting on June 27.
Clearman’s Galley is marking their 45th year with special offers for their many fans June 28-30. What started out as a mail-service vessel serving ports between San Francisco and Alaska became Clearman’s Galley in 1968 when owner John Clearman bought it and anchored it on Huntington Drive in San Gabriel to become a hamburger stand. The Galley soon sailed into the hearts of generations of food lovers who called it “The Boat.” The distinctive red-and-white hulled boat became an architectural landmark. The original hamburger stand with patio expanded with indoor seating and bigscreen TVs for sports night fun for all ages. The Boat offered a rousing good time until 2007 when it was temporarily closed to make way for new development. A double-sized Clearman’s Galley reopened in 2008 at 7215 N. Rosemead Blvd., San Gabriel, just a few feet from where it was originally anchored on Huntington Drive. Known for big portions, tangy red cabbage salad, and mouth-watering cheese bread, menu favorites are chili cheeseburgers,
