It is another exciting day in Oakley, as this morning Mayor Kevin Romick and Vice-Mayor Sue Higgins helped announce the next step in the process of bringing an Amtrak platform to Oakley!
The new 700-foot-long Amtrak train station platform that will be
located behind Main Street between Second Street and Norcross Lane. Once complete, Oakley commuters will be able to get from downtown Oakley to downtown Oakland in under an hour.
The project, made possible with state funds, is expected to begin construction soon and complete in 2022.

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
The Oakley Police Department, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice-Drug Enforcement Administration will be hosting an unused prescription drug drop off on Saturday, October 24th between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
The National Prescription Drug Take- Back Initiative aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Unused medicines left in home cabinets are highly susceptible to misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.
The Oakley Police Department encourages our residents to take advantage of this program. The collection site is at the Police Department, 3231 Main Street. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
This program is geared towards prescription drugs and medicines only- no illegal drugs, hypodermic needles, or other devices will be accepted.
