The Deadline station

This just in from Azusa reporter Bethania Palma:

The Azusa City Council gave the go-ahead to use eminent domain authority to take non-residential properties located in the area what was going to be part of a Goldline station.

But why the vote Tuesday after news that the extension through Azusa may not come for years, if at all?

Business owners pleaded with the city council to hurry up and do whatever they're going to do, saying they've been losing money and living in limbo since learning two years ago they were in redevelopment crosshairs.

More to come this weekend.....
