Project Overview:
The City of Hayward's Safe Routes for Seniors (SR4S) Program is a collaboartive 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 SR4S Program is funded by Alameda County Measure BB 1/2 Cent Sales Tax, which is administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC).
South Hayward — Latest Project Phase
Update 9/23/2026: The City is ready to begin construction for the South Hayward Safe Routes for Seniors Project and is currently soliciting bids from contractors. We are excited for safer crosswalks in South Hayward!
See the City Council action approving the project plans and specifications here.
Staff partnered with residents, AC Transit, and Hayward Operated Paratransit, and developed a set of safety improvements at four locations where seniors frequently walk in South Hayward.
- West Tennyson Rd and Oliver Dr: Opening the closed crosswalk on the west side of the intersection
- Patrick Ave and Roosevelt Ave: A bus boarding island and bulb-outs that improve visibility, reduce speeds and shorten crossing distance
- Patrick Ave and Gomer St: Bulb-outs that improve visibility, reduce speeds, and shorten crossing distance
- Tampa Ave Weekes Park entrance: Bulb-outs and a flashing beacon that warns drivers when pedestrians are crossing
Downtown Hayward — Completed Phase
In Summer 2019, City staff worked with local seniors to identify four intersections in Downtown Hayward at which to focus SR4S improvements. The City is currently working to design proposed improvements in each of these areas.
The intersections identified for improvement, in order of priority, include:
