SUMMARY
Staff requests authorization to submit a Sustainable Communities Grant application in the amount of $354,120 to study and develop context sensitive complete street plans for roadways in Downtown Hayward. These plans will be used to improve safety, and support reduction strategies related to Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT).
If awarded, the grant would lessen the financial burden on the City to procure a transportation consulting firm to prepare a feasibility analysis and conceptual plans for Downtown Hayward traffic circulation improvements.
