Gregory, great question about the work being done on Lake Chabot Road! That work is not related to our hospital project. It is the ongoing project to replace Castro Valley’s aging sewer lines. The work has been going on for some time, progressing west on Lake Chabot Road. It has now turned onto Seven Hills Road at Quail, and will continue up to Walnut Road.

Thanks for the updates.
Do any of the construction projects have anything to do with the additional tearing up of Lake Chabot road further up towards Quail and Seven Hills roads?

Cassandra, thank for your succinct explanation of the situation on the Eden Township Healthcare District property.
Although I am not a spokesperson for the District, I do have first hand knowledge about the demolition and new construction on the Eden Township Healthcare District property- across the street from Eden Hospital. The District staff worked diligently to help the owners of Sazio’s to find a new location (we found six possibilities for them locally), pay for relocation fees, and provide subsidies from the county planning dept. They chose to retire and not relocate. The District is in the process of bringing in a temporary medical office building to provide offices for physicians who must move because of the need to make room for our beautiful new hospital. In 3 years we hope to have a beautiful new medical office building constucted on the same District property site – for which the community can be proud. The demolition is going as planned, with the attempt to recycle as much as possible. (We get LEED points for this, and hope to build a “green” building on the site.) Let me know if I can answer any more questions.
Carole Rogers RN
Director, Eden Township Healthcare District

Thank you for the comment. I think there are many people in town who would have liked the owners to open in a new location sometime over the past three years. Let’s hope they will now. As for the property, we can see progress already. The District’s property is now fenced off and the demolition of the old office building has begun. We should see rapid changes now, despite some rain delays.

Thanks for the great information Cassandra. Sazio’s is such a great restaurant. We hope it relocates to a nicer property, but one that is close to the hospital so we can still enjoy lunches there! As for the District property, I hope they do something soon to clean up that eyesore! It would be a shame to have a beautiful new hosptal with crumbling, unoccupied buildings across the street.
