This is a concept plan document for the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program prepared by the City of Hayward, California, specifically detailing traffic calming improvements at Faith Ringgold Elementary School and nine additional schools within the city. The document presents a comprehensive site plan for Faith Ringgold Academy showing proposed improvements including curb extensions at the intersection of 5th and D Streets and a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at the same location. The design encompasses multiple implementation sheets and views for ten schools: Burbank, Faith Ringgold, Impact Academy, Longwood, MLK Middle, Palma Ceia, Park, Schafer Park, Southgate, Tennyson, Tyrrell, and Winton. This concept plan directly supports the concurrent D Street Traffic Calming Project (RFP 26-027), for which the City of Hayward is soliciting sealed proposals for professional design and engineering services. Proposals for the PS&E phase must be submitted electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 20, 2026.

The selected consultant must provide a Professional Civil Engineer to stamp final construction documents and coordinate with existing SR2S and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) initiatives.
