This document is a concept plan drawing for the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program at Faith Ringgold Academy in Hayward, California, prepared in conjunction with the City of Hayward's D Street Traffic Calming Project. The drawing depicts the proposed improvements at the intersection of 5th Street and D Street, specifically showing curb extensions and a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) installation designed to enhance pedestrian safety and traffic calming measures. The concept plan references multiple other school sites within the SR2S program scope, including Burbank, Impact Academy, Longwood, MLK Middle, Palma Ceia, Park, Schafer Park, Southgate, Tennyson, Tyrrell, and Winton schools, indicating a comprehensive multi-school transportation safety initiative.
