| California High Speed Rail Facts |
In an effort to keep the public informed on the scope, development and potential impacts of the California High Speed Rail project on Gilroy and the surrounding region, a High Speed Rail information center has been established at Gilroy City Hall, 7351 Rosanna Street. The center is located at the south end of the main hallway in City Hall, and contains large maps, handouts and other information which will supplement the information already available on the internet. City hall hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. It is important for area residents to stay informed so that you can participate in the Gilroy Area Community Engagement that the California High Speed Rail Authority will be conducting.
