During that period, trains were to pass through the station without stopping, according to the district. SacRT outlined additional service disruptions through 3 p.m. Nov. 22 and said Gold Line service would not be affected.The Broadway project follows platform work at 4th Avenue/Wayne Hultgren and City College stations.
