Posted by kp5308 on Fri Nov 6 21:20:37 2009, in response to PHOTOS: Gold Line, posted by kp5308 on Fri Nov 6 21:05:34 2009. In the link to the history of the line the original designation is Blue Line. I found this on a website about public art along the route that explains the origin of this:"Called the Pasadena Blue Line, this line was originally conceived as an extension of the Blue Line that opened in 1992 linking downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach. The planned route of the Blue Line initially went from Long Beach to Union Station along Alameda, and from there to Pasadena. However, when constructed, the Blue Line was re-routed to go west on Washington from Alameda and then north on Flower where it ended at Seventh Street. Even after the change in routing, the line between Union Station and Pasadena continued to be called the Pasadena Blue Line, though consideration was given to renaming it the Rose Line, in deference to the annual Tournament of Roses in Pasadena. The name Rose Line, however, was not adopted and in 2001 the line was renamed the Gold Line." |
