Hayward Loop Options
Proposed Options for Further Study
The four proposed options are described below.
Table 1 describes how each option was generated and their implications for capacity and includes a menu of additional permutations for each option.
All options are based on two consistent assumptions:
1. Bicycle facilities will be provided through the design-funded “Bike Loop” project that provides access around the Loop and connects to the East Bay Greenway and Hayward BART Station. Some options can accommodate additional bicycle facilities on A, Mission, or Foothill.
2. On-street parking remains a priority for downtown, with large-scale parking removal not considered desirable.

Options can be supplemented with additional permutations, which can be mixed and matched.
Permutations include:
• B Street pedestrianization
• Parks or public space in reclaimed right-of-way on EB D St • Parks or public space or housing development in reclaimed right-of-way on Foothill (only for Option 2)
• Placemaking improvements via parklets and planters
ATTACHMENT III
Option 1: Baseline Project
Option 1 is a baseline, near-term option that includes minimal changes to the Loop outside of systemic intersection safety improvements. Limited placemaking can be provided through parklets and planters in the right-of-way.
Option 2: Reconnecting the Grid
Option 2 is a long-term option that includes removal of segments of Foothill Blvd from the circulation network. Options for removal are the one block from Mission Blvd to D St, or the two blocks from Mission Blvd to C St. This option also includes robust road diets on Mission Blvd, A St, and the remaining segments of Foothill Blvd.
Option 3: Current Alignment – Place Focus
Option 3 is a medium-term option that maintains the current circulation network on the Loop and implements “place” improvements on all Loop streets. This option includes robust road diets, potentially reducing to one lane in each direction on Mission Blvd and A St and two lanes in each direction on Foothill Blvd.
Option 4: Current Alignment – Movement Focus
Option 4 is a medium-term option that maintains the current circulation network on the Loop and retains more capacity for vehicle movement on Foothill Blvd. This option includes road diets on Mission Blvd and A St, while maintaining capacity on Foothill Blvd or expanding capacity by removing parking.
