Gold Line and Monrovia Try to Work It Out

It appears both the Gold Line and Monrovia are backing away from a fight.

Gold Line spokesman Habib Balian writes that the Gold Line Construction Authority "has deferred eminent domain action on city/redevelopment agency land" and "has instructed its negotiators to explore with city officials work-arounds that satisfy both City and Authority interests."

 

Balian said the action was taken in response to the Monrovia City Council tabling any action regarding the proposed Gold Line property acquisition.

 

"The Authority," he writes, "remains hopeful that negotiations will produce a result that is satisfactory to all parties."
