Drainage Delay Delays County Tract Map Denial Near Hayward
Alameda County planning commission yesterday recommended denial of an amended tentative subdivision map for 465 homes on a 150 acre tract south of Hayward on Niles highway. The panel cited flood risk from new runoff and delayed drainage work, with engineers noting it could take 18 months to two years to build a proper ditch, levees, and flood gates. Subdivision representatives argued denial delays development, while officials urged assembly of a cooperative drainage plan.
