The Hayward City Council is one step closer to improving Highway 880 and A Street. On Tuesday, Sept. 2, the city set aside $1.3 million dollars from Alameda County’s Measure BB funds for improvements on the A Street exit on Highway 880. Measure BB is an extension of a county transportation sales tax used to improve roads, highways, bike and pedestrian paths. Changes will include more lights, wider sidewalks, road improvements, new road medians, new landscaping and bike lanes.Â
Hayward Mayor Mark Salinas said during a phone interview that traffic on A Street is usually heavy and congested. Salinas said more lighting will be installed, especially underneath the overpass.
The City of Hayward started a plan to improve these roads in 2015. Construction for the A Street bike and pedestrian lanes may begin in 2028.
Dear Sirs and Ladies,
I have been leaving 24 Hour Fitness on Amador heading to Winton Avenue. New lane changes are not easy to travel. Please make the right lane for right turns only. Have the left lane for left turns and through fare only.
When the through fare is on the right it holds up cars that can turn right only. One car going through will hold up several cars that need to make a safe right turn.
Thankyou
