(The 580/235 interchange hos since wiped out a section of the road just <br /> north of downtown Hayward.) North of the interchange, the Lincoln Highway is on Foothill Boulevard <br /> running along the eastside of 580. From about 150th Avenue up to the Estudillo exit, Interstate 580 was <br /> constructed on top of the old Lincoln Highway. At the Estudillo exit, the old Lincoln Highway alignment <br /> reappears, following MacArthur Blvd "north- northwest ", and stays on MacArthur up to 73rd Avenue, when if <br /> veered of to the "west - northwest" on Foothill Boulevard, thus proceeding on to Lake Merritt. <br /> If you have any other information, we are always glad to update our maps, But we do ask for at least TWO <br /> historic map documents in agreement showing the old Lincoln Highway, as we have found that many <br /> historical maps do in fact have many mistakes. (Just because they are historical, doesn't mean they are <br /> accurate!) <br /> Thanks for your help! <br /> With best regards and great respect, <br /> Paul Gilger, Chair <br /> Lincoln Highway Association National Mapping Committee. <br /> Paul Gilger <br /> 530 Juilliard Park Drive <br /> Santa Rosa CA 95401 <br /> 707.528.7787 <br /> paulgilger @atf.net <br /> From: MBarr @ci.san- leandro.ca.us [mailto:MBarr @ci.san- leandro.ca.us] <br /> Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 11:32 AM <br /> To: paulgilger @att.net <br /> Subject: RE: Map of Lincoln Highway in Bay Area <br /> • <br /> 1 <br />
