Free Land Big Need In Widening OFA Street
Hayward City Manager John Ficklin says free land may decide which block of A Street between Castro Street and Foothill Boulevard is widened for a planned four lane link. The city has 200000 dollars set aside, not enough to widen both blocks without donated land. Some property owners have offered land, and the city plans detailed parcel descriptions this week to approach donors. If enough frontage land is donated the city might fund widening both blocks depending on costs.
