Project Description

The City of Hayward's Safe Routes for Seniors (SR4S) Program is a collaborative effort between the City and local senior housing facilities, senior centers, and community-based organizations. Through these partnerships, the City is working to identify areas in Hayward at which to focus accessibility and walkability improvements.

 

The City has completed improvements at downtown Hayward intersections and is currently designing improvements at several intersections in South Hayward along West Tennyson Ave, Patrick Ave, and Tampa Ave. Improvements include installation of ADA ramps, new crosswalks, bulb outs to shorten crossing times, bus boarding islands to ease access to transit, and adding medians for pedestrian refuge when crossing the street.

 

Revenue sources that contribute to this Project include:

The SR4S Capital Program receives support of approximately $4,200,000 from dedicated Measure BB (Paratransit) funding.
