The C Street Enhancements Project is set to begin construction in the coming weeks. While the initial start date was projected for this week, ongoing preliminary construction activities have slightly shifted the timeline. As we approach the start date, we will provide further updates.

Throughout the construction period, C Street will operate with single-lane restrictions, maintaining westbound traffic while redirecting eastbound traffic via designated detours.

The project will unfold in two phases:

• Phase 1: Focuses on the north side of C Street. Continuous access to businesses on the south side will be ensured. Eastbound traffic will be rerouted to A Street. Expected completion: early summer.
• Phase 2: Will address the south side of C Street. Access to businesses on the north side will be preserved. Eastbound traffic will continue to be diverted to A Street. Expected completion: fall 2024.

We will provide regular updates on the project's progress and encourage residents to continue supporting local businesses during this period. Access to businesses and properties within the construction zone will be maintained. We urge all motorists to exercise caution, utilize alternative entrances when feasible, and contact the project team with any inquiries.

The Galt Police Department offers a no-cost program in which CAPS Volunteers or Police Officers will check on your property while you are away on vacation, business, or attending family matters.

Residents planning to be away for an extended period can complete a Vacation Check Request form, available from the Galt Police Department Records Division. The form should be submitted at least two days before departure and must be fully completed. Typically, security checks are conducted on weekdays during regular business hours. However, checks can also be scheduled on weekends or after business hours based on staffing availability. During these inspections, uniformed Volunteers visually assess the property for signs of damage or unauthorized entry but do not access fenced or backyard areas. Residents are notified of any incidents or emergencies on their property provided they have supplied a valid contact number. In emergencies requiring immediate police response, Volunteers will contact the individual listed as the "Emergency Contact." Additionally, designated vital holders will be informed of security-related issues affecting the property.
