Nighttime Safety Enhancement Plan

The City of Hayward is seeking a consultant to develop a Nighttime Safety Enhancement Plan to improve the city's streetlight system and reduce crashes. The plan will include assessments of existing lighting conditions, recommendations for minimum illumination levels, and establishment of maintenance programs. The consultant will also develop a public engagement plan and provide recommendations for new streetlight request processes, operations, and maintenance programs.

Key aspects of the project include: • Assessing existing lighting conditions and recommending minimum illumination levels • Developing a public engagement plan to gather input from the community • Establishing maintenance programs and processes for handling new streetlight requests • Providing recommendations for new streetlight request processes, operations, and maintenance programs • Developing a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from LED conversion and increased active transportation
