Outreach
Community Input How Incorporated into Plan
Concerns about traffic and speeding,
exiting driveways, crossing the street
Traffic calming throughout corridor
Reduced speeds should facilitate
driveway access
Concern about loss of parking for bike
lane
Collected parking occupancy data
Provide safer crossings for people
parked across street
Visibility challenges at Ruus Ln Restripe intersection to improve sightlines
Study crosswalk, stop sign, RRFB
Need for new streetlights and repair of
existing streetlights
Identified three potential streetlight
locations
Assigned technician to confirm
working condition of streetlights
Support for protected left turn Key element of project Concern that narrowing roadway will
increase traffic
Project does not affect capacity
HAYWARDH8
Design Considerations
• Two-way bikeway advantages:
• Few driveway conflicts
• Direct connection to Ward Creek Trail
• Requires less street space than Class IV on both sides • Parking concerns considered, but there are options

• City has multiple interchange projects (5)
• A Street interchange improvements are the least complex • A Street is currently in the environmental phase

Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
7 Advancing to the Design Phase
• $4,000,000 total needed for design phase of A Street
• Funding is available
• City commits $1,350,000 of Measure BB
• Does not impact City general fund
• ACTC commits remaining funding
• Urgency to approve environmental
• $50,000 federal earmark expiring
Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
8 Advancing to the Design Phase
• Alameda CTC is the current implementing agency
• Alameda CTC will not be implementing agency for the
design phase unless clear funding plan for
construction
• City will work with Alameda CTC to develop a funding
plan so that implementing agency status can transition
back to Alameda CTC
• The implementing agency is tasked to propose,
develop, and implement a project
Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
9 Funding – Construction Phase
• $20,000,000 estimated
cost
• Local Alternative
Transportation
Improvement Program
(LATIP)
• Can fully fund
construction phase
• Does not impact general
fund
• Some uncertainty
Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
10 LATIP
• I-238 Bypass canceled, funding shifted to local projects • Approved by the California Transportation Commission in 2010 • Contains revenues from Route 238 properties sold
• Approved LATIP project list, for each project:
• Amount of funding allocated
• Order of priority (must be followed)
• A Street is on the project list, but has lower priority • City will need to initiate the process to move A Street to higher priority to access funding
• Legislative action required to change
Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
11 Next Steps
• Approve City contribution of $1,350,000 of Measure BB funding to design phase
• September 2nd City Council
• Alameda CTC to update TIP listing for design phase
• City to be listed as interim implementing agency for design phase • City to continue to work with Alameda CTC to develop a funding plan for construction
• Complete environmental phase, start design phase in Q4 2026 Hayward Police Department Year-End Report
12 Recommendation
If approved by CIAC, staff will present the item to Council for their approval for the City Manager to execute a funding agreement with Alameda CTC for the City to contribute $1,350,000 to the PS&E phase of the I-880 A Street Interchange Project
