service to downtown Los Angeles. The Metro L Line termini station at APU/Citrus College in the
|
47_165
|
adjacent city of Azusa also provides a transit link to the Metro system of trains and buses. A
|
47_166
|
future extension of the L Line, from its current termini in Azusa to the City of Montclair in San
|
47_167
|
Bernardino County, will include a station in Glendora to be located in the southeast corner of the
|
47_168
|
intersection of Ada Avenue and Vermont Avenue. The station is not expected to be in service until
|
47_169
|
2026. When it opens, the rail line will be renamed the A Line per Metro's new naming convention and
|
47_170
|
will connect to the former Blue Line via the new Regional Connector in downtown Los Angeles. It
|
47_171

will provide a "one-seat ride" (no transfers) to the Financial District of Los Angeles and downtown

47_172
|
Long Beach.

News media

|
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune, based in Monrovia, provides mainstream news coverage for Glendora.
|
47_200
|
and surrounding "Foothill cities." The Tribune carries a list of current articles as well as a
|
47_201
|
history of articles concerning the City of Glendora and cities immediately surrounding the City of
|
47_202
|
Glendora.
|
47_203
|
Library Happenings is a bi-monthly newsletter published and distributed by the Glendora Public
|
47_204
|
Library. It generally consists of 4 or 6 pages of information about local programs and events
|
47_205
|
planned for the year. There is an online version of the newsletter with issues going back to the
|
47_206
|

|
Glendora City News is a local news outlet focused on issues and events that are relevant to
|
47_208
|
residents of the city of Glendora, California. Founded in November 2014, the newspaper has covered
|
47_209
|
local crime, real estate, social events, and political issues, including some high-profile, highly
|
47_210
|
controversial actions taken by city managers which have resulted in contentious public meetings and
|
47_211
|
citywide calls for the removal of city politicians. The news outlet provides detailed information
|
47_212
|
about scheduled events, public meetings, and incidents of note that occur within the City of
|
47_213
|
Glendora.
|
47_214
|
Of particular note for Glendora residents, the news outlet contains detailed information about
|
47_215
|
ballot initiatives every time the city holds a vote, listing the ballot propositions without a
|
47_216
|
discernible political bias, a stance that has earned the news outlet a moderately-large on-line
|
47_217
|
subscriber base as well as 18 thousand βlikeβ subscribers on Facebook out of a city population of
|
47_218
|
50 thousand. Consistently detailing measures on the ballot at every election has made the news
|
47_219
|
source a secondary source of information, with the primary source being the City of Glendora's
|
47_220
|
official web sites.
|
47_221
|
The news outlet also occasionally carries information about local employment openings that have
|
47_222
|
social benefit (such as environmental jobs), and routinely carries updated information about the
|
47_223
|
many foothill fires and mud slides that effect residents in the northern parts of the city during
|
47_224
|
the year's fire and rain seasons. Lost and found dogs and cats also get covered fairly routinely at
|
47_225
|
the news outlet, with residents contacting the newspaper asking for help locating either a found
|
47_226
|
pet's guardians or their missing pets.
|
47_227
|
The news outlet also offers a Community Calendar series which covers up-coming events which include
|
47_228
|
city meetings as well as local events created by local shops, fast food franchises, and volunteer
|
47_229
|
organizations.
|
47_230
|
The news outlet asks local residents to provide news tips and commentary about anything that
|
47_231
|
happens in the city, including information about what city planners and managers are up to. In the
|
47_232
|
past such tips have led to volunteer efforts by residents who have organized clean-up efforts of
|
47_233
|
public property, such as the South Hills Dog Park where the drinking water facilities had been left
|
47_234
|
in disrepair and needed cleaning.
