Committee Questions / Discussion
CM Syrop recommended a route design that incorporates Alternative 1 with a part of Alternative 2, specifically a connection between Breakwater Court and Whitesell Street. He would like signs for pedestrians and bicyclists to guide them around the infrastructure along the shoreline.
CM Andrews mentioned the potential risks of sea level rise and asked if stakeholders had provided comments related to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). She would like the PID to be closer to finalization as the project cost estimates are already high. She expressed preference in Alternative 1 and was interested in aesthetic lighting created for points of interest.
Mayor Salinas asked if there had been an analysis done on bike and pedestrian data for Alternative 1. Mr. Mehta explained that their research allows for Clawiter Road to remain unchanged and Whitesell Street to have even sidewalk widths and Class IV bike lanes. He was in favor of Alternative 1. He emphasized that the overpass should be aesthetically pleasing because it is the gateway to the city.
The item was moved by CM Andrews, seconded by CM Syrop, and approved unanimously for recommendation to Council.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
CM Andrews requested the following items: (1) a review of the maintenance, lighting, and improvements of the downtown parking structures, (2) feedback on decorative crosswalks, (3) updates on the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), and (4) a follow-up discussion on the Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming Project.
CM Syrop brought up the idea of future metered parking. Director Ameri replied that an enforcement parking program has been developed and is ready to be presented to the Committee. CM Syrop asked for updates on the BART Transit Oriented Development (TOD) project.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Mary Clements, a resident of the SkyWest Townhomes in Hayward, expressed her concerns about the draining of the front pond at the SkyWest Golf Course, which has resulted in the death of three out of four domestic geese, leaving one remaining goose that is unlikely to survive as the pond continues to dry up. She inquired about the plans for the pond given its current state. Additionally, she raised an issue regarding the mature trees along her property line and the golf course, noting that three large trees had fallen in February. With summer approaching, she questioned the plans for tree maintenance, observing that while the grass is being maintained, the trees are not being cut. She mentioned having consulted her tree service to remove a significant portion of a tree that had overextended into her property.
Tyler Dragoni, a resident of Hayward, commented on the holiday of Earth Day, emphasizing that it was created because human beings are the only creatures on the planet capable of speaking on behalf of the Earth, which cannot speak for itself. He stated that the purpose of Earth Day is to speak and defend those that cannot defend themselves against human actions. Dragoni expressed concern over the City's handling of SkyWest, accusing it of neglect until the situation becomes a worse problem for residents. He added that when the City finally does move and position itself to develop the area, the people will be so fed up with the dumping, blight, and fire hazards that the political conversation will shift in favor of the destruction and desecration of one of the last natural preserves, which this neighborhood needs.
Mimi Dean, a member of the public, commented that she took a walk that morning at SkyWest and observed the first pond nearly dry with cracked mud, which raised her concern for the western pond turtles residing there. She echoed earlier public comments emphasizing the need to speak up for animals and not neglect them, as neglect would lead to their suffering. Dean mentioned that she had emailed the Director of Public Works on April 7th about the condition of the pond but had not received a response. She described the green space at SkyWest as magnificent, noting the birds chirping and critters running around, and expressed her confusion and concern over the plan to cut down mature trees to plant six-month-old trees, which didn't make sense to her. Additionally, she pointed out the neglected state of the clubhouse, with weeds growing around it, and asked if there could be an agreement to maintain this beautiful place, stressing that the neighborhood needs open space.
1. Approval of Minutes of the Council Airport Committee (CAC) Meeting Held on October 25, 2023
The item was moved by Council Member (CM) Andrews, seconded by CM Syrop, and approved unanimously.
2. Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Improvements, Phase II - Project Update
Director Ameri provided a synopsis of the staff report and introduced Utilities Engineering Manager, Suzan England, and Water Pollution Control Facility Manager, David Donovan who presented a PowerPoint presentation.
Public Comments
There were none.
Committee Questions / Discussion
Council member Andrews sought clarification on several financial and project management aspects related to the Phase II Project, particularly regarding construction costs and guarantees. Council member Andrews mentioned hearing about the state revolving funds (SRF) being considered for a lot more facilities. She inquired whether the SRF program would prioritize projects. She also asked about the availability of funds under the Self- Generation Incentive Grant (SGIP) and if lobbying efforts from Council Members expressing support for funding could influence the availability or prioritization of SGIP funds or other funding sources.
Council member Syrop commended staff for the comprehensive report and sought clarification on page 2 of 9 regarding the statement that the project would reduce nutrients by 50% by 2034 and whether the City’s share of this reduction would indeed be 50%. He raised concerns about the potential increase in sewer service rates to meet this requirement, noting that it might be unavoidable. He also inquired about the relationship
between the commercial side and the residential side concerning zero connection fees and its impact on economic development.
Mayor Salinas inquired whether other cities are exploring similar options and having the same conversations. He wondered if there were a large grant that all cities would need to compete for and questioned if there were any collegial relationships with other cities that would help in understanding what funding is available. Mayor Salinas questioned the timeline, noting that the anticipated construction for the Phase II Project would commence in the next year or two. He expressed concerns about whether there would be enough contractors available to undertake the project.
Council member Syrop circled back to the issue of service rates, particularly focusing on the potential impact for low-income. He inquired if there are any federal or state subsidies available for low-income utility costs and whether the City plans to pursue such subsidies as it begins the process of adjusting rates. Council member Syrop further suggested exploring creative policy solutions to reclassify parts of the utility program outside of the enterprise fund structure. He proposed considering innovative approaches to attract funding to help subsidize rates.
3. Review of Recommended Capital Improvement Program for FY25 - FY34
Director Ameri provided a synopsis of the staff report and introduced Management Analyst, Michael Wolny who presented a PowerPoint presentation.
Public Comments
Tyler Dragoni, a resident of Hayward, commented that while biking down Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Hayward and crossing into Alameda, Tyler wondered about the history of Alameda and how it transitioned from a peninsula to an island due to federal government actions. He questioned the federal government's allocation of funds towards military projects and international ventures, contrasting this with the impact on local ratepayers in Hayward who may face increased costs for basic services. He discussed various city projects, including La Vista Park and the undergrounding at Sulphur Creek. He suggested using the former SkyWest golf course as a potential mitigation site. Tyler raised concerns about the financial impact of the Hayward Executive Airport, specifically questioning whether the $43 million in capital improvements are beneficial to Hayward taxpayers. He proposed considering alternative uses for the airport, such as transforming it into an industrial park, given changes in technology and usage patterns of airports.
Mimi Dean, a member of the public, had expressed concerns about the lack of park space and open areas in the flatlands northwest of Hayward, particularly in comparison to SkyWest. She pointed out that there are ample park spaces at the end of Tennyson, but comparatively little park and open space in northwest Hayward. She echoed concerns about Sulphur Creek underground, noting that the lack of space for mitigation work has
been a longstanding issue. She suggested that SkyWest could be an ideal location for such mitigation efforts; and urged to thoroughly examine how funds are being allocated and to consider the potential for transforming SkyWest into a significant asset for the community.
Committee Questions / Discussion
Council member Syrop questioned the allocation of funding from the airport capital and expressed excitement about the report, commending the efforts to make the budget more accessible through OpenGov Stories. He echoed concerns raised earlier about SkyWest, particularly regarding the water situation and maintenance issues, and hoped these concerns would be addressed. Council member Syrop expressed satisfaction with the prioritization of traffic calming measures and investments in various local neighborhood projects benefiting schools and seniors, highlighting the city's attention to diverse demographics. He sought clarification on Measure C and its implementation, specifically referencing a PowerPoint presentation that outlined proposed changes and inquiring if the projects underneath the amounts are affected projects or whether it is listed as a project that will be touched on in the future.
Council member Andrews commented that she had identified the facilities assessments but sought clarity if there were any other assessments that are being tracked as a part of the individual funds. She questioned how the previous item aligns with the master plan, whether adjustments were made, or if it was identified in the regional master plan.
Mayor Salinas suggested the idea of sharing a courtyard with the Hayward Unified School District and questioned whether this possibility had been explored or deemed feasible. He expressed his belief that such an arrangement would represent a strong partnership between the City of Hayward and the school district. Mayor Salinas referenced the LaVista Park project on Tennyson, highlighting the seamless integration of the park with adjacent developments, particularly the partnership between the City and Eden Housing. This partnership resulted in the creation of 176 units of 100% affordable housing. He further mentioned plans for a major destination park in conjunction with affordable housing for various income levels, as well as a potential school facility.
The item was moved by Council member Andrews, seconded by Mayor Salinas, and approved unanimously for recommendation to Council.
4. Updated Guidelines for Installation of Speed Humps – Discuss and Recommend to Council
Director Ameri provided a synopsis of the staff report and introduced Deputy Director of Public Works Transportation, Hugh Louch, and Associate Transportation Planner, Colin Patterson, who presented a PowerPoint presentation.
Public Comments
There were none.
Committee Questions / Discussion
Council member Syrop praised the staff for their presentation, expressing his anticipation for it even before his tenure on the City Council. He conveyed excitement about the progress made, noting that the timeline for the initiative dated back to 2002. In reference to the discussion about reimagining public safety, Council member Syrop emphasized the potential for this approach to reduce traffic fatalities and alleviate concerns parents may have about their children's safety when navigating streets.
Council member Andrews raised a pertinent question regarding the possibility of identifying areas where sideshows occur and prioritizing those locations for interventions such as the installation of speed tables. She suggested focusing on areas with open spaces where sideshows commonly occur, rather than just targeting intersections. Council member Andrews highlighted the importance of addressing not only the intersections themselves but also the routes leading to them, as disruptions along these routes can influence individuals' decisions to participate in sideshows. Council member Andrews inquired about the implementation of speed bumps around school locations. She asked whether there is a system in place to ensure that speed bumps are installed and maintained in areas where schools are relocated, ensuring these safety measures remain up to date.
The item was moved by Council member Syrop, seconded by Council member Andrews, and approved unanimously for recommendation to Council.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Council member Andrews requested updates on the following items: (1) Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming Project; (2) She sought an update on the Gading Road Complete Streets Project; (3) She inquired about the installation of decorative street lights on Tennyson Road, specifically asking if they could be designed to resemble those on Mission Boulevard; (4) She requested information on potential collaborations with the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (H.A.R.D.) and the Hayward Unified School District (H.U.S.D.) to address dog waste solutions; (5) She asked for an update on the Access Hayward website project, focusing on its development, implementation, and how it is serving the community’s needs for information and services.
Council member Syrop echoed Council member Andrews' request for an update on the neighborhood traffic point project. He suggested making it a standing item to regularly review the project's status, specifically seeking information on resident engagement, the nature of the comments received, and how feedback is being incorporated. Additionally, Council member Syrop commended staff for the installation of 12 bus benches that were presented at the City Council meeting. He inquired about the timeline for the installation of the remaining 11 bus benches, seeking to understand when these additional benches would be completed and available for public use.

Short-Term Plans for the Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming Project
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Infrastructure & Airport Committee (CIAC) reviews and provides feedback on the Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming Project short-term plans.
SUMMARY
Based on the feedback from the community meeting held on January 22, 2024, staff developed a short- term traffic calming plan (Attachment II) for Orchard Avenue to improve the operations of the existing roundabout at Joyce Street and reduce speeding from Joyce Street to Mission Boulevard. The short-term plans propose striping and vertical delineation to reduce a lane in each direction on Orchard Avenue from Joyce Street to Mission Boulevard and additional delineation for the roundabout at Joyce Street. A short-term approach has many benefits, including reduced costs and time of completion to install effective safety improvements. City staff are working to finalize the short-term plans and specifications and anticipate returning to Council in August to implement the project. Staff is seeking feedback from the CIAC on the short-term plans.

SUBJECT: Short-Term Plans for the Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming Project
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Infrastructure & Airport Committee (CIAC) reviews and provides feedback on the Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming Project short-term plans.
SUMMARY
Based on the feedback from the community meeting held on January 22, 2024, staff developed a short-term traffic calming plan (Attachment II) for Orchard Avenue to improve the operations of the existing roundabout at Joyce Street and reduce speeding from Joyce Street to Mission Boulevard. The short-term plans propose striping and vertical delineation to reduce a lane in each direction on Orchard Avenue from Joyce Street to Mission Boulevard and additional delineation for the roundabout at Joyce Street. A short-term approach has many benefits, including reduced costs and time of completion to install effective safety improvements. City staff are working to finalize the short-term plans and specifications and anticipate returning to Council in August to implement the project. Staff is seeking feedback from the CIAC on the short-term plans.
BACKGROUND
Orchard Avenue is a minor arterial roadway. From Soto Road heading east, it consists of one lane in each direction for approximately 1,300 feet until Joyce Street, where it opens up to two lanes in each direction for approximately 1,450 feet ending at Mission Boulevard.
The surrounding area is residential with some businesses closer to Mission Boulevard.
Orchard Avenue has a history of traffic calming efforts. In 1992, the City extended Hayward Boulevard to directly connect to Carlos Bee Boulevard, making it easier to use Carlos Bee Boulevard and Orchard Avenue to access other areas in the City. In September 1999, City staff held a neighborhood meeting to discuss proposed improvements to reduce the speeding on Orchard Avenue and Soto Road. At the meeting, a roundabout was proposed with an even split of residents who favored and opposed the idea. After the meeting, staff
researched potential traffic-calming strategies and developed a traffic calming plan that consisted of a roundabout at Orchard Avenue & Joyce Street and two raised intersections along Orchard Avenue at Muir Street and Thomas Avenue. The plan to construct a temporary roundabout was approved by Council on February 15, 2000, and installed the same month. Staff confirmed after the installation of the roundabout that the average speed along Orchard Avenue decreased from 33 to 26 miles per hour. City Council approved the design and construction of a permanent roundabout on September 19, 2000.
Although the roundabout led to a significant reduction in the average speed on Orchard Avenue, residents have identified other issues of concern. Increased traffic brought more heavy vehicles and trucks along Orchard Avenue. Recently, City staff received feedback that the raised intersections were not effective and caused excessive noise. Recent data collected in 2023 on Orchard Avenue between Joyce Street and Oneil Avenue confirmed high average speeds of 36 to 37 miles per hour.
On January 22, 2024, City staff held a neighborhood meeting to discuss plans to improve Orchard Avenue and receive feedback. The plans discussed at the meeting focused on improving the operation of the roundabout and removing the raised intersections. In addition, the police department discussed its enforcement strategy for Orchard Avenue.
Over 50 residents attended the meeting and provided feedback about various issues including the roundabout, increased speeding, truck traffic, parking issues, and desire for more crosswalks. Residents also requested that something be done quickly.
In the following months, staff developed a short-term traffic calming plan that would target an earlier construction date than the proposed plans discussed in the neighborhood meeting. The short-term plan includes striping and delineation devices to improve the operation of the roundabout and remove a traffic lane in each direction on Orchard Ave between Joyce Street and Mission Boulevard. The plan also includes changes to the lane configurations at Mission Boulevard. City staff presented the short-term plan to the neighborhood during an online meeting held on May 9, 2024. Sixteen residents attended the meeting and feedback was mostly positive with some concerns about the effectiveness of the proposed short-term plan.
DISCUSSION
City staff developed the Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming short-term plans in response to the feedback received for improvements to be made quickly. The proposed short-term plans consist of:
Adding painted islands with vertical delineation at the roundabout and its approaches.
Restriping of the north crosswalk across Joyce Street approaching the roundabout from standard transverse style to high-visibility ladder. Removing one travel lane in each direction from Joyce Street to Mission Boulevard using vertical delineation and edge lines.
Extending the length of the median using striping near the Orchard Avenue & Oneil Avenue intersection.
Removing one eastbound left-turn lane and one westbound right-turn lane at the Orchard Avenue/Carlos Bee Boulevard & Mission Boulevard intersection. Installing additional no truck-signage near Mission Boulevard & Orchard Avenue, Orchard Avenue & Soto Road, and Jackson Street & Soto Road.
The benefits of using a short-term, or quick-build approach, derive from the use of materials that can be quickly installed. By using such materials, the City can reduce the overall implementation time and costs to install traffic calming countermeasures. The short-term plan also allows for an iterative approach and it gives staff the opportunity to monitor and evaluate the effects of the improvements before making future decisions on more permanent changes. It also makes it easier to revert back the changes if anticipated improvements are not realized.
One challenge with using quick build materials is that they may require more maintenance due to vehicles coming in contact with traffic devices. The short-term plan is not intended to address all of the concerns that have been voiced by residents. Staff will continue to refine the comprehensive long-term plan that was developed for the January public meeting, informed by the implementation of the short-term project. Staff are currently working on the cost estimate for full implementation of the short-term plan and will provide an update in a future meeting. Future long-term plans may require additional funding depending on the scope of the plans.
The City has recently experienced success in projects using quick build materials on the Campus Drive Traffic Calming Project, which achieved increased safety and reduced speeds at a low cost with the use of similar improvements. Due to the long-standing concerns of the residents on Orchard Avenue and the ability of the proposed changes to be quickly implemented, staff recommends that the CIAC recommend the Orchard Avenue Traffic Calming Project short-term plans (Attachment II) for Council’s consideration.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
This item has no direct economic impact.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item will not impact the General Fund. Funding for this project is associated with Fund 213, consisting of Measure BB (Pedestrian & Bicycle) revenues.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Invest in Infrastructure: Invest in Infrastructure. Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following project:
Project N1: Continue to implement major corridor traffic calming initiatives
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
This project will include safety improvements that will benefit pedestrian and bicycle modes of travel, which may facilitate increased use of these modes of transportation.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public outreach for this project was first conducted through an in-person neighborhood meeting on January 22, 2024. A second neighborhood meeting with the purpose of providing an update and introducing the short-term traffic calming plan was held online on May 9, 2024. For both meetings, approximately 1,500 notices were mailed in both English and Spanish. For the meeting on May 9, notices were sent later than expected and residents had less time than normal to prepare. A recording of the meeting was made available on the City’s project website. For this June 26 CIAC meeting, an email notification was sent to the email distribution list of this project, consisting of 13 residents.
NEXT STEPS
After receiving feedback from the CIAC, staff will finalize the short-term plans and specifications and anticipate returning to Council during implementation of the project.
Construction is anticipated in the Fall 2024.
