Mission Blvd Corridor Improvement Projects (Phase 2 & 3)

Pictured above is a stretch of Mission Blvd near the Simon Street intersection, which will be improved as part of the Mission Blvd Phase 3 Project.

Project Description

Phase 2 of the Mission Boulevard (Route 238) Corridor Improvement Project involved the improvement of Mission Boulevard from Industrial Parkway to the south City limit, near Blanche Street. The improvements have been constructed to accommodate multi-modal access via a number of efforts, including: new sidewalks, curb ramps, pavement, traffic signals, street lighting, separated bike lanes, transit improvements, landscaping, undergrounding of overhead utilities, replacement of walls/signs at Blanche Street, Fairway Street, and Corrine Street, as well as new fencing. The project included features such as drought tolerant plants, permeable pavers, reuse of existing pavement, and energy efficient LED streetlights with dimming features. Construction of this Phase of the Mission Boulevard Corridor Improvement Project commenced in FY18 and was completed in September 2020.

 

Phase 3 of the Project, from A Street to the northern City limit at Rose Street, is the last phase of the three-phase Mission Blvd Corridor Improvement Project. Improvements include undergrounding of overhead utilities, electrical service conversions of private properties, construction of bicycle cycle track, sidewalk, curb and gutter, rehabilitation of pavement, installation of traffic signals and streetlights, installation of traffic striping, pavement marking and signage, improvements to storm drains systems, installation of irrigation system and landscaping, as well as City of Hayward monument signs. The construction bids received in 2021 to implement this project were significantly higher than expected and subsequently rejected, delaying the project timeline. The call for bids was reinitiated in March 2023. Construction began in July 2023 and is anticipated to be completed by June 2025.
