ATTACHMENT II
2 “SR-92/Clawiter – Whitesell Interchange and Reliever Route Project” Project Background
Phase I - Complete
Provide for better access in and out of the
industrial area and to help relieve congestion on
major arterials.
Whitesell St — Depot Rd to Breakwater Ave:
Roadway extension and widening with bike lanes,
curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, utilities, and
street lighting.
Phase II
Provide new interchange access off Whitesell St
for better local and regional traffic circulation.
3 Project Overview
1. San Mateo T oll Plaza and
Bridge
2. SF Bay Trail
3. Eden Landing Ecological
Reserve
4. Hayward Wastewater
Treatment Facility
5. Hayward’s Industrial
Technology and Innovation
Corridor
6. Dow Chemical
7. Bay Center Business Park
8. Britannia Point Eden
9. Eden Plaza
Need:
Lack of bicycle/pedestrian facilities on
Clawiter Road across SR 92.
The existing SR 92/Clawiter Road
interchange has high traffic congestion
and is deficient in meeting the current
and future traffic demand of the
industrial/western portion of the city.
Significant roadway deficiencies
resulting in inefficient traffic
operations.
Purpose:
Improve multimodal access and
connectivity across SR 92 at
Clawiter Road, including access to
regional recreational facilities.
Improve access to the
industrial/business western
portion of the City of Hayward
from SR 92.
Improve and optimize traffic
operations at the SR 92/Clawiter
interchange and along local
roadways in proximity to the
interchange.

Risks and Opportunities
5 Schedule by Phase
Planning/Scoping:
The City, in cooperation with Caltrans
and Alameda CTC have initiated the
Project Initiation Document (PID).
The PID defines the general scope of
the environmental studies and
engineering reports that will be
necessary to comply with California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) in the next phase.

Here
6 Current Phase Schedule
1. PID Kick-Off – February 2023
2. Project update to Hayward CIC – June 28, 2023
3. Draft scoping document (PID) to Caltrans – November 2023
4. Updated draft scoping document (PID) to Caltrans – February 2024
5. Anticipated PID Approval from Caltrans – April 2024

1. Recommend City Council authorize the Director of Public Works to sign the final PID on behalf of the city.
2. Seek Caltrans approval on the PID which defines the scope and cost of the Environmental Review Phase*.
Notes: * Initiation of the Environmental Review Phase is contingent upon funding. * Preliminary Alternatives will be refined during the Environmental Review phase with public stakeholder input.
