The Federal Railroad Administration recently notified the City of minor improvements needed at three Galt railroad crossings. These improvements are necessary for the City to maintain the Quiet Zone designation along the Union Pacific railroad in Galt.
The City has hired a contractor and a railroad approved flagging contractor to perform the median work required by the Federal Railroad Administration. The City has submitted details of the work to the Union Pacific Railroad and is currently awaiting permit approval from Union Pacific to perform the work in Union Pacific’s right of way.
Pending Union Pacific’s permit approval and favorable weather conditions, the work is anticipated to require a few days to complete. However, the current extended weather forecast will likely result in delay of the work.
The City has requested the Federal Railroad Administration to perform its required follow-up inspection as soon as possible after the work is completed.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes to our residents.

Special appreciation goes out to our dedicated Galt Police Officers for keeping everything running smoothly throughout the day and into the late evening. Your commitment to this project doesn't go unnoticed! And let's not forget our hardworking Public Works and Parks & Recreation staff for their help throughout the entire process. Your efforts are truly appreciated!

Curious to see behind-the-scenes footage? to watch the video coverage of this incredible event:
The Saturday Market has been canceled this weekend due to anticipated inclement weather including heavy rain, strong winds, and the threat of thunderstorms. Organizers have made this decision with the safety and well-being of attendees, vendors, and staff in mind.
While the cancellation may disappoint many, organizers emphasize that safety is their utmost priority. They encourage everyone to mark their calendars for the next market day on April 6, and assure the community that they look forward to welcoming everyone back for a vibrant and enjoyable event.
