SUMMARY
The CIP is a planning document intended to guide the City’s capital project expenditures for the upcoming ten-year period. The proposed CIP budget includes approximately $161 million in FY26 and an estimated $1.3 billion in the next ten years. Given that Hayward is a full-service city, the CIP covers a wide range of projects, which may include street construction and improvements; bike and pedestrian improvements; traffic calming; wastewater, recycled water, storm water, and water system upgrades; groundwater projects; construction of public buildings; airport projects; replacement of major equipment; clean and renewable energy generation; and other miscellaneous projects. As in past years, the document also includes Identified and Unfunded Capital Needs, which currently total $709 million.
The Recommended FY26 - FY35 CIP can be found here <https://www.hayward-ca.gov/your-government/documents/capital-improvement-program> on the City’s website and features an online format. More information about navigating the new format can be found via the link provided.
Planning Commission Review
State law requires that the Planning Commission review the Recommended CIP to ensure consistency with the City’s adopted General Plan. The Recommended FY26 - FY35 CIP was presented to the Planning Commission at their April 10, 2025, meeting, and the Commission unanimously found that the Recommended FY26 - FY35 CIP is consistent with the City’s 2040 General Plan.
