Talk Around Town - New Fire Stations

On this episode of Talk Around Town, City Manager David Gassaway visits the construction site of Fairfield’s new Fire Station 36 with Deputy Fire Chief Rich Llewellyn.

Completion is expected in late 2026, and the fire department looks forward to welcoming the community once the stations are finished.

Talk Around Town - West Texas Complete Streets

Big changes are coming to West Texas Street! In our latest Talk Around Town video, we caught up with Senior Engineer David Vong to talk about the West TX Complete Streets Project — a major effort to make this busy corridor safer, more walkable, and better for everyone who uses it. The project will reduce traffic lanes to help slow speeds, add protected bike lanes, and create new bus turnouts so buses don’t block traffic. It’ll also bring in shaded walkways and fresh landscaping to make the street more comfortable and inviting. This is an $11 million project, with nearly all the funding coming from state and regional sources — a huge win for Fairfield. Construction kicks off soon and will take about a year to complete. Watch the full video to learn what’s coming, how it’ll impact traffic, and why it’ll make a big difference in the way we move around the city. To stay updated, visit fairfield.ca.gov/complete
