That the Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) approving the plans and specifications, and call for bids for the Safe Routes for Seniors (SR4S) Project.

SUMMARY
The SR4S Program targets pedestrian improvements designed to improve accessibility for senior residents and visitors. Given the concentration of facilities serving senior residents in and around the Downtown, this phase of the muti-year program focuses primarily in the Downtown area of Hayward. The proposed improvements will encourage senior citizens to walk more and make walking in Downtown Hayward safer, more pleasant, and accessible for all.
The budget for this project is $3.7 million of Measure BB infrastructure improvements funds and is included in the FY 2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Project includes four intersections located in the Downtown Hayward area. The construction documents are completed, and staff requests Council’s approval of the plans and specifications and call for bids.
Council Infrastructure Committee Review
This project was presented to the Council Infrastructure Committee (CIC) on May 29, 2019, July 22, 2020, and April 38, 2021; and received their recommendation to be presented to Council for consideration.
