| Map of the Hayward Fault in the Contra Costa Community College area Click here to continue the image tour, or click on map cameras to see selected photographs. 
What to look for: Contra Costa College campus straddles the Hayward Fault and displays abundant evidence of active creep along the fault zone (offset curbs and cracks in pavement). El Portal School (now abandoned) is adjacent to the campus and displays damage from creep to the building and sidewalks. This area was little developed at the time of the 1868 Hayward earthquake.Access Options  BART: The Richmond BART Station is the closest to the community college campus, about 2 miles away. AC Transit: The AC Transit line #71 also serves Point Pinole and connects with El Cerrito Del Norte BART Station farther south (see www.511.org for details of bus schedules).  Bike: The City of Richmond is activity developing bike routes throughout the area. Contra Costa College is about two miles from the Richmond BART Station.  Hike and wheelchair access: Once on the community college campus it is a short and easy walk to see features associated with the creeping fault. Both the El Portal School and the community college provide easy access for a wheelchair.  Car: Parking can be an issue when the college is in session, but it is relatively easy to find parking on the weekends. |
