Hayward Seeks Feedback on Redesign Plans for Tennyson Road, A Street and B Street by November 13

HAYWARD, Calif. — The City of Hayward is accepting public comments through November 13, 2026 on proposed safety redesigns for sections of Tennyson Road, A Street and B Street.

What streets are included?

The city’s October 28 notice identifies Tennyson Road between Mission and Hesperian boulevards, A Street between Hesperian Boulevard and Watkins Street, and B Street between Martin Luther King Drive and Watkins Street as corridors for conceptual designs.

Residents can view plans and use the feedback controls at Safe Streets Hayward. The city plans to present the concepts to City Council in early 2027; that timetable does not mean construction is approved or funded for immediate start.

Safety goals and local impacts

According to city staff, the High Injury Network accounts for about 14% of Hayward streets but 75% of fatal and serious-injury collisions. That is why the program focuses on certain high-risk corridors rather than treating every road identically. Proposed changes should be evaluated for pedestrian crossings, cycling, buses, business deliveries and access for people with disabilities.

People who use these roads every day can provide specific descriptions of dangerous turns, visibility problems and crossings. Comments submitted by the city’s stated deadline can be considered before a future council review.
