Good evening, San Gabriel

Welcome to the fall season! As the San Gabriel Trench project comes to a close, we wanted to make a note about horn noise occurring from the trench. While construction finalizes, train safety rules dictate that horns be used to notify workers within the trench. ACE estimates that there will be a few weeks of work left before a final project inspection is performed. Once the project is approved, the use of horns will no longer be required.

In addition, contestants have been announced for this year's Dumpling & Beer Fest on October 4. Be sure to view the contestants here. As a friendly reminder, be sure to purchase a beer tasting wristband for the event here to save.

Now, here's what's making news for the week of September 26, 2018:

SGPD propose satellite station at Marshall School

To increase police engagement in the south side of the City, the San Gabriel Police Department is proposing a satellite station at the former site of Marshall School. The station will house the Traffic Bureau staff with full service, traffic-related capabilities.

You can read more about this and other items in our preview of the October 2 City Council meeting.

Plan your special event at Grapevine Arbor Park

The most important element of a great event is an excellent venue - after family and friends that is. The City of San Gabriel is proud to be able to share the Grapevine Arbor Park to those within or outside the community. It's the ideal destination for significant life events, such as weddings, anniversaries and birthday parties.

The venue hosts a remnant of the old Grapevine, which once covered over 10,000 square feet. Planted in 1861, the famous grapevine gives this picturesque locale its name. Residents and non-residents can rent the beautiful Grapevine Arbor for their special events.
