SUMMARY
Since 2013, the City of Hayward, Alameda County (County), and Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District (HARD) have worked towards a shared vision of constructing and operating a new center at the corner of Tennyson and Ruus Roads. In 2015, the City, County, and HARD formed a Governance Group to guide the project. On February 5, 2019, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with RossDrulisCusenbery, Inc. (RDC) to complete master planning and preliminary design for the site.
Since February, the multi-agency staff team has met with RDC regularly to conduct master planning for programming and site use. The staff team last reported to the Governance Group in May and will be updating the Group next at the end of this month. To prepare for that update, staff is seeking Council feedback on the following topics: 1) Proposed Project Goals, Branding, and Programming; 2) Parking Options; 3) Funding Strategies; 4) Tennyson Corridor Complete Streets Feasibility Study Route; and 5) HARD/City Land Swap and Use of the Matt Jimenez Community Center.
