The Outgrown Suit and Hayward Parking Plan
A civic commentary argues Hayward must shift from diagonal to parallel street parking to ease growth driven traffic. It notes population surge from 31,000 in 1936 to 115,000 in 1950, increasing autos per capita and the need for better east west and north south streets. It calls for one way streets, wider roads, and cross town connections beyond the retail core. It cites Oakland as having parallel and one way systems as a model and warns delays will cost shoppers to Oakland.
