Mowry Avenue will be closed between Mission Boulevard and Overacker Avenue on Saturday, October 17, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Message boards will be posted on Mowry Avenue alerting residents of this closure.
The closure is necessary to perform pump station maintenance, asphalt patching, directional delineator repair and replacement, and cleaning and sweeping of debris that is difficult to collect while the roadway is open.
Residents and motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes, plan ahead, and allow additional travel time while the work is being completed.
The City appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work to maintain Fremont’s infrastructure and keep our streets safe and reliable.

The City is committed to supporting safe, fair, and lawful business practices for all mobile vendors operating in Fremont, including food trucks, ice cream trucks, and sidewalk vendors. Recent changes in state law—aimed at supporting entrepreneurship and reducing excessive penalties—have led to an increase in unpermitted mobile vendors throughout the region, including Fremont. This rise has created challenges in the community, including unsafe food handling practices, fire safety concerns, blocked sidewalks, and improper disposal of cooking oil and grease.
To help address these challenges and support vendors in operating legally and safely in Fremont, the City has launched a new webpage. This resource includes detailed information about mobile vending, including a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs). It explains the rules and responsibilities for mobile vending in Fremont, helps vendors understand and comply with state and local regulations, provides guidance for community members on reporting concerns, and outlines the City’s approach to addressing mobile vending challenges.
