Welcome to the virtual learning and feedback tour for the City of Hayward Safe Streets Downtown project!

The City of Hayward heard from you and is advancing two long-term ideas for the future of Downtown Hayward, and they need your help deciding which direction to take.

These are not final designs; they are ideas meant to spark discussion and help us understand what the community values most. The team will use your input to shape a preferred alternative that will be shared with City Council as the next step toward grant funding and future design work.
