    • Saturday - It's the turnover of the Foothill Gold Line's new maintenance and operations campus at 1508 S. California Avenue in Monrovia; the yard was built by the Gold Line Construction Authority and will be operated by Metro. It's a free event, your chance to check out the new, large-scale light rail maintenance facility for the Foothill Gold Line's extension to Azusa, expected to open in early 2016. The yard is actually quite a place to see, as readers learned when SBLA toured the under-construction site last summer, with lots for rail buffs, and plenty of the latest ecologically-friendly building designs. At 9:30 a.m. there will be a public celebration handing over a giant key. From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. there's a public open house, including tours. Get full details here [PDF].
