Metrolink’s Pomona North Station Parking lot: There will be occasional closures at the Fulton Rd. parking entrance. When the closure is in place, work crews will assist with traffic control in and out of the parking lot. Crews will begin the construction of  the Pomona Gold Line Station and light rail track installation. Starting on January 31, 2022 crews will be closing additional parking areas/spaces currently available to Metrolink riders to make room for the new construction. This phase of construction will last roughly one year. A minimum of 100 parking spaces, closest to the train platform, will remain available, including all of the existing 14 accessible parking spaces.
