Safe Streets Downtown aims to transform the Hayward Loop to create a safer, more accessible, and community-focused downtown. Safe Streets Downtown will create a community-preferred design and safety plan that the city can advance for funding. The plan will design a project that reflects the experiences, needs, and priorities of those who live, work, and play in Downtown Hayward.
The map below shows the project's study area, which includes A Street, Mission Boulevard, and Foothill Boulevard. The project will also evaluate B Street and C Street within downtown.
The primary project goal is to:
