Land swap seals city school district property deal
The City of Haywood and Hayward Elementary School district completed a land swap during an adjourned council session to resolve street extensions. The exchange gives the district frontage on C and Walnut streets in return for Wilpect street abandonment. It allows a kindergarten through sixth grade campus near Burbank and enables widening the Walnut and C street intersection. The Santa Clara street extension would run through Sequois school property toward Jackson Street, shrinking the eight acre Sequois site and threatening playground space unless additional land is acquired. Trustees will seek state funds to buy more playground acreage and build a pedestrian underpass under the extension, with a request targeting after April.
