Hayward’s Foothill Boulevard Needs Traffic Widening Now
An editorial urges continuing campaign for state funds to widen Foothill boulevard between Hayward city limits and Castro Valley, warning that the 1954-55 budget favors Castro Valley to Dublin and a 5.6 mile freeway extension. It notes Foothill remains a low priority, but traffic would worsen if retail growth near the high school occurs. The piece stresses maintaining official attention and gas tax revenue to avoid stalling the highway program.
