The Public Safety Committee discussed ways to resolve local traffic concerns on July 26, including the parking situation around Meadowview Park. Part of that discussion included partially closing the cross street.
Especially during baseball games, the limited parking around Meadowview leads some people to park on the south side of Kost Road and cross fast-moving traffic near the uncontrolled intersection with Meadowview Drive.
Any modifications in the area are hampered by the fact that the northern half of that stretch of Kost is in Galt, while the southern half is under the jurisdiction of Sacramento County.
âI feel personally that thatâs a very dangerous intersection. I have handled it a few times because my son plays baseball at that park every season,â Committee Member Timothy Reed said at the regular meeting. He added that cars parked along the north side of Kost block the view of traffic for drivers turning off of Meadowview Drive.
A Galt man is in custody after he allegedly shot and killed his wife Friday night, July 23, then fled to a nearby orchard before surrendering to police.
Galt police officers responded to a call just after 10 p.m. of a report of a shooting that occurred in the 10000 block of Walnut Avenue. When police arrived, officers found a 56-year-old female with a gunshot wound inside the residence.
Officers performed CPR until Cosumnes Fire Department personnel arrived on scene. Life-saving efforts were in vain as the female was later pronounced deceased.
During the preliminary investigation, police determined the female victim and her husband had been in a verbal argument. The victim went to another room, but was followed by her husband who then allegedly shot her, police said.
