If you follow the hayward chamber of commerce on facebook today they posted that the loop is going to make it easier (paraphrasing) for residents to get downtown. Sounds like they’re trying to convince themselves. The city engineers are convinced that this is the best idea ever. I’m not sure about the current council. I know Sweeney was opposed to it and voted against it but I’m not sure where the current board stands on the issue. I’ve read that Zermeno is in favor of the loop. I cannot find any other city that has implemented a loop. I’ve googled it in many ways and nothing comes up that’s similar to what’s happening here.

If someone gets a petition together to end the loop, I will happily sign it.

It is not wonderful for anyone. Some places are almost impossible to get to once this goes into effect. I wonder if there is a good location to view the honking and frustration when this goes into effect. Not to mention the wrecks. Lord I feel sorry for those who don’t venture into Hayward very often. They are in for a surprise. I guess I will mostly write off this part of town. Sad.

Thanks Theresa. I don’t get it at all. I don’t understand how it’s supposed to be so wonderful for local residents. There is an update meeting presented by city staff at 9 am tomorrow morning at city hall. I might go.

Here is the city of Hayward’s look at the loop.
My opinion: Yuch!

Warren Hall Demolition Project

Frequently Asked Questions about the Warren Hall Demolition Project:

As of February 15, 2013

It is expected that the project perimeter fencing will go up on February 20th.
At this time the schedule is still tentative. The schedule will be published periodically for the campus.

The planned hours of construction work are Monday through Friday, 7am to 5 pm.

The General Contractors will erect a fence around the perimeter of the project area to keep non-project persons clear
of construction hazards.

Vehicle Traffic:
West Loop Road will also be closed to through traffic commencing approximately March 4th to through traffic for about seven weeks during the demolition of the bridge.

Pedestrian Traffic:

Two pedestrian tunnels will be built at West Loop Road on the east side of the bridge to protect
pedestrian entering and exiting the Library from West Loop Road.

There will be additional truck traffic on West Loop Road, Carlos Bee Blvd. and Harder
Road throughout the project. As you know, the speed limits on campus are 15 mph and 25 mph.
Please be patient and, if necessary, plan to arrive earlier to ensure you can get to your destination on campus
safely.

Most of the NEW trees planted by the cemetery on Mission Blvd look very dead.

I can imagine a bug huge traffic mess when the one-way streets go in effect. If it’s in March, the city should already start posting signs on city streets in the area and AC Transit should start sharing information with their passengers on service changes impacting the routes on Foothill and Mission…

Btw, any word on when any new street signs on the new traffic signals will be installed? They’ve been looking so bare since they were installed.

The loop is the stupidest idea ever. It will be interesting to watch big rigs, ambulances, fire engines making a left from A St. onto Mission Blvd. What a mess! People think the traffic is bad now…well it’s just going to get worse. What a joke.
