Mayor Nagel thanked FinDir Augustine and Deputy Finance Director Diane Troung for such a
comprehensive report and all the effort that went into it. Mayor Nagel noted the increases in revenue from
the hotel transient occupancy tax and the increases in the sales tax, due in large part to the automobile
dealers. Mayor Nagel commented that the sales tax from the businesses on Burlingame Avenue increased
over last year in spite of the streetscape construction. She also commented that the sales tax from the
businesses on Broadway had increased from a year ago.
Mayor Nagel opened the item for public comment and there were no comments.

and the auditor. Councilmember Keighran noted that she was glad to see the decrease in compensation
overtime for public safety employees. She also noted that the transient occupancy tax had reached an all

Burlingame City Council January 20, 2015
Unapproved Minutes
that might continue. Councilmember Keigbran was also pleased that there was an increase in the parking
fund revenue over last year.

FinDir Augustine advised that this staff report was an informational item only and no Council action was
required. Ms. Augustine advised that the current rates that have been in place since 2012 fully cover all
anticipated costs of providing solid waste services in calendar year 2015; therefore no rate adjustment is
needed.
FinDir Augustine provided a handout showing a comparison of the solid waste rates for neighboring cities
and Vice Mayor Keigbran requested that this information be included in an upcoming a -news.
Mayor Nagel opened the item for public comment and there were no comments.
d. CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING A "WHISTLEBLOWER HOTLINE"
CM Goldman reviewed the staff report and advised that during the future agenda item portion of a City
Council agenda in late 2014, then Vice Mayor Nagel asked that the City consider establishing a
whistleblower hotline as a means of residents reporting concerns about the City but were uncomfortable
reporting those concerns to staff.
Mayor Nagel made a motion to establish the whistleblower hotline; seconded by Councilmember Root.
Councilmember Ortiz commented that he would not support it since there are sufficient avenues that already
exist for citizens to report concerns to the City. Vice Mayor Keighran also did not support it since she said
Burlingame City Council January 20, 2015
Unapproved Minutes
the City already has options for people to voice their complaints and why add one more. Mayor Nagel
withdrew her motion and asked Councilmember Ortiz if he had a suggestion for another way that might be
preferable. Mr. Ortiz expressed concern that should a Burlingame employee want to blow the whistle on a
coworker, they might be discouraged to report it to another high-ranking City official. He said if a hotline
were established, it would be preferable for a third party to receive the calls.
Mayor Nagel said that since there was not agreement, this issue was tabled, but hoped there could be further
discussion at another time.
11. COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND ACTIVITIES REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Council reported on various events and committee meetings they each attended on behalf of the City.

BACKGROUND
On February 19, 2013, the City Council approved the construction contract for the Burlingame
Avenue Streetscape and Utilities Construction Project with an estimated budget of $16.5M. The
streetscape project included new widened sidewalks with pavers; vehicular pavers in the parking
areas, crosswalks and intersections; concrete bands; curb and gutter; asphalt concrete roadway;
trees; tree grates; landscaping; planter pots; hanging baskets; decorative tree lights; benches;
kiosks; gateway monuments; bike racks; retractable bollards; news racks; trash receptacles;
smart parking meters; historic markers; decorative streetlights; electrical conduits; upgrades of
the City's traffic signal; and improvements to the City's potable water, sanitary sewer, and storm
drainage systems.
The project construction has been completed, and staff is in the process of finalizing the contract
to bring it to a future Council meeting for acceptance. The project was funded by a combination of
parking meter rates, Downtown Burlingame Avenue property owners, utilities enterprise funds,
storm drain fees, gas tax monies, and grants.
DISCUSSION
In order to preserve, maintain, and protect the streetscape improvements and investments made
by the City and the Downtown Burlingame Avenue property owners, the City's Municipal Code
needs to be amended to include comprehensive conditions and provisions to limit excavation of

new sidewalks and roadways; implement specifications, details, and requirements for proper
restoration of streetscape improvements; and minimize impacts on Burlingame Avenue. Staff
recommends that the Council introduce the attached ordinance adding a new Chapter 12.05 to
Title 12 of the Municipal Code for compliance with these special construction requirements within
the public right-of-way of Downtown Burlingame Avenue. Following are the key elements of the
proposed ordinance:
• A five-year moratorium prohibiting construction work within the public right-of-way in order
to preserve, maintain, and protect the City's Downtown Burlingame Avenue Streetscape
improvements;
• During the five-year moratorium, only work deemed by the Public Works Department as
necessary for emergency, public health and safety, or special circumstances such as
when pre-empted by law, may be allowed for construction;
• Any proposed construction work shall be first reviewed and approved through a Public
Works Department plan review process; and
• All work within the public right-of-way shall conform to the Downtown Burlingame Avenue
special conditions, provisions, specifications, and details for all aspects of such work,
including, but not limited to, construction methods; materials; restoration of sidewalk,
parking area, crosswalk and intersection pavers; curb and gutter; roadway structural
section; planters; and trench backfill.
The City Council held a public hearing on January 20, 2015, and introduced the ordinance. This
request is for the adoption of the ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
The costs associated with implementing the special conditions, provisions, specifications, and
details under Chapter 12.05 will be covered by prospective applicants through plan check fees
based on actual staff time involved, bonds required as part of the Public Works Department plan
review process, and encroachment permit fees.

in accordance with the requirements of this Section and Government Code Section
65915, at least 10 percent (10%) of the total dwelling units in a common interest
development as defined in California Civil Code Section 4100 for moderate income
households, provided that all dwelling units in the development are offered to the public
for purchase. For each one percent (1%) increase in the percentage of restricted
moderate income units, a development will receive an additional one percent (1%)
density bonus up to thirty-five percent (35%) of the maximum residential density.
(c) No additional density bonus shall be authorized for a senior citizen development or
qualifying mobile home park beyond the density bonus authorized by subsection (a) of
this section.
(d) When calculating the number of permitted density bonus units, any fractions of units
shall be rounded to the next highest number. An applicant may elect to receive a density
bonus that is less than the amount permitted by this section; however, the city shall not
be required to similarly reduce the number of restricted affordable units required to be
dedicated pursuant to this section and Government Code Section 65915(b).
(e) Each development is entitled to only one density bonus, which shall be selected by the
applicant based on the percentage of very low restricted affordable units, lower income
restricted affordable units, or moderate income restricted affordable units, or the
development's status as a senior citizen housing development or qualifying mobile home
park. Density bonuses from more than one category may not be combined. In no case
3
ORDINANCE NO.
shall a development be entitled to a density bonus of more than thirty-five percent (35%).
(f) The density bonus units shall not be included when determining the number of restricted
affordable units required to qualify for a density bonus. When calculating the required
number of restricted affordable units, any resulting decimal fraction shall be rounded to
the next larger integer.
(g) Certain other types of development activities are specifically eligible for a density bonus
pursuant to state law:
(1) A development may be eligible for a density bonus in return for land donation
pursuant to the requirements set forth in Government Code Section 65915(g).
(2) A condominium conversion may be eligible for a density bonus or concession
pursuant to the requirements set forth in Government Code Section 65915.5.
(h) Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, all developments must
satisfy all applicable requirements of any below market rate housing
program adopted by the City, which may impose requirements for
restricted affordable units in addition to those required to receive a
density bonus or concessions.

concurrently with market -rate units unless both the final decision-making authority of the
city and developer agree within the affordable housing agreement to an alternative
schedule for development.
(b) Moderate income restricted affordable units shall remain restricted and affordable to the
designated income group for a minimum period of 30 years (or a longer period of time if
required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage
insurance program, or rental subsidy program). Very low and lower restricted affordable
units shall remain restricted and affordable to the designated income group for a period
of 30 years for both rental and for -sale units (or a longer period of time if required by a
construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or
rental subsidy program).
(c) Design. Restricted affordable units shall be built on-site and be dispersed within the
development. The number of bedrooms of the restricted affordable units shall be
equivalent to the bedroom mix and average sizes of the non -restricted units in the
development; except that the applicant may include a higher proportion of restricted
affordable units with more bedrooms. The design and construction of the affordable
dwelling units shall be consistent with the design, unit layout, and construction of the
total project development in terms of appearance, exterior construction materials, and
unit layout, and be consistent with any affordable residential development standards that
may be prepared by the City.
(d) A regulatory agreement, as described in Section 25.63.080, shall be made a condition of
the discretionary permits for all developments pursuant to this chapter. The regulatory
agreement shall be recorded as a restriction on the development.

Subject: Update to the Circulation Element of the General Plan
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council should:
1. Conduct a public hearing and consider all public testimony related to the
proposed Circulation Element.
2. Following conclusion of the public hearing, discuss the proposed Circulation
Element and provide suggestions for further changes if desired; and
3. Adopt the following Resolution, by title only:
"Resolution of the City Council of the City of Burlingame Approving Amendments
to the Circulation Element of the Burlingame General Plan to Comply with State
Law Requiring Compliance with the California Complete Streets Act Of 2008"
BACKGROUND
In September 2008, the California Complete Streets Act became law, codified as Government
Code sections 65302(b)(2)(A) and (B). The Act requires that:
• Commencing on January 1, 2011, upon any substantial revision of the circulation
element, the legislative body shall modify the circulation element to plan for a
balanced, multi -modal transportation network that meets the needs of all users of
the streets, roads, and highways for safe and convenient travel in a manner that
is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban context of the general plan.
• For purposes of this paragraph, "users of streets, roads, and highways" means
bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial
goods, pedestrians, users of public transportation, and seniors.

General Plan Circulation Element Update February 2, 2015
The City's current General Plan Circulation Element was part of the original adoption of the
General Plan in 1969 (Resolution No. 87-69). Since that time the City has updated its circulation
and transportation policies and programs through a series of policy documents and specific plans.
Taken together, these documents represent a citywide approach to a balanced, multi -modal
transportation network in the manner of Complete Streets.
This spring the City will be embarking on a comprehensive update of its General Plan, including
the Circulation Element. The process is anticipated to take approximately two years. However,
the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has restricted future eligibility for certain
federal transportation monies (One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) funds) to communities that have
achieved the following by January 31, 2015:
A Housing Element certified by the State Department of Housing & Community
Development as "in compliance" with state statutes (completed); and
• A Circulation Element that contains adequate "Complete Streets" policies and
concepts.
Given the timing of the General Plan Update, last year staff determined that a new Circulation
Element would not be ready within this timeframe. In order to preserve the City's eligibility for the
next round of OBAG funding, staff has prepared an interim update that reflects existing Complete
Streets policies and programs already adopted in the various specific plans and other policy
documents. This effort consolidates currently adopted Complete Streets policies, essentially
serving as an "existing conditions" overview to build upon, but with an expectation that there will
be additional work in the future as the other General Plan elements are updated. While the
January 31, 2015 deadline has passed, the City will remain eligible for OBAG funding given that
the process is underway and adoption of the element is imminent.
DISCUSSION
Although the current Circulation Element of the General Plan was adopted by the City Council as
a part of the original adoption of the General Plan several decades ago, there are a number of
other policy documents related to circulation that have been adopted over the intervening years.
These documents consist of:
• Complete Streets Policy of the City of Burlingame — adopted by the City
Council on November 5, 2012, by Resolution No. 77-2012
• Burlingame Bicycle Transportation Plan — adopted by the City Council on
October 8, 2004, by Resolution No. 91-2004
Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan Chapter IV. Traffic and Circulation —
adopted by the City Council on April 5, 2004, by Resolution No. 26-2004.
Amendments to the Bayfront Specific Plan were adopted on August 21, 2006, by
Resolution No. 58-2006 and on June 18, 2012, by Resolution No. 44-2012.

General Plan Circulation Element Update February 2, 2015
• North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan Chapter 5. Circulation and
Infrastructure — adopted by the City Council on September 20, 2004, by
Resolution No. 85-2004. The Specific Plan was amended by the Burlingame City
Council on February 5, 2007, by Resolution No. 13-2007.
• Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan Chapter 7. Circulation and Parking —
adopted by the City Council on October 4, 2010, by Resolution No. 73-2010.
The purpose of this update is to consolidate all the relevant circulation policies contained in the
above documents, to update the data in these documents to reflect current conditions, and to
report on what implementation measures have been completed. Data in the original Circulation
Element has been updated, obsolete passages removed, and current background information
added (a tracked changes version of the document is attached). Furthermore, status updates
have been added to the Bayfront and North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan sections.
At this time it is not the intent to change the policies that are now in place. As the community will
be embarking on a comprehensive update of the General Plan over the next two years, the
expectation is that the Circulation Element will be more fully updated in coordination with the rest
of the plan, together with environmental review. However this interim consolidation and update
will allow the City to demonstrate that, taken together, its existing policies incorporate the
provisions of the California Complete Streets Act (AB 1358) and take into account the multimodal
transportation networks within the community and Bay Area.
Planning Commission Review and Recommendation: The Planning Commission reviewed the
Draft Circulation Element in its November 10`h meeting (meeting minutes attached).
Commissioners expressed interest in a range of transportation and circulation issues including:
• Quantification of bicycle traffic volumes, both for bicycle commuters and recreational
riders;
• Completion of unbuilt segments of the Bay Trail;
• Coordination between the City and schools on awareness of safe bicycle and pedestrian
routes;
• Evaluation of existing parking ratios;
• Focus on California Drive between Broadway and Burlingame Avenue for Complete
Streets improvements;
• Street trees on wider roads such as Rollins Road and California Drive;
• Circulation improvements in the Bayfront area to support build -out.
The upcoming update of the full General Plan will allow these issues to be considered in the
context of other planning issues such as land use, open space and economic development.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME APPROVING
AMENDMENTS TO THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT OF THE BURLINGAME GENERAL PLAN
TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW REQUIRING COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COMPLETE STREETS ACT OF 2008
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME hereby finds as follows:
Section 1. The term "Complete Streets" describes a comprehensive, integrated
transportation network with infrastructure and design that allows safe and convenient travel
along and across streets for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities,
motorists, movers of commercial goods, users and operators of public transportation, seniors,
children, youth, and families.
Section 2. The City of Burlingame acknowledges the benefits and value for the
public health and welfare of reducing vehicle miles traveled and increasing transportation by
walking, bicycling, and public transportation.
Section 3. The City of Burlingame recognizes that the planning and coordinated
development of Complete Streets infrastructure provides benefits for local governments in the
areas of infrastructure cost savings; public health; and environmental sustainability.
Section 4. The City of Burlingame has initiated amendments to its General Plan
Circulation Element for the purposes of compliance with the California Complete Streets Act of
2008, to maintain eligibility for the next cycle of One Bay Area Grant federal roadway monies
administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and to demonstrate its
commitment to form a comprehensive and integrated transportation network promoting safe,
equitable, and convenient travel for all users while preserving flexibility, recognizing community
context, and using the latest and best design guidelines and standards.
Section 5. The Circulation Element (attached) is a compilation of existing goals,
policies and programs, each adopted separately as part of previous planning efforts, which
taken together represents a program for Complete Streets in compliance with the California
Complete Streets Act of 2008, and that the proposed Circulation Element makes no changes to
any existing goals, policies or programs. Consequently, this ordinance is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations since it can be seen with certainty
that there is no possibility the adoption and implementation of this Ordinance may have a
significant effect on the environment.

Planning Manager made a presentation of the Draft Circulation Element and invited Commission
comments.
Commission comments and questions:
> Bicycle use of commuters (weekday and weekend), recreation, and families
> Usage of bike racks
> Detection systems at signals - roadbed vs. manual/pushbutton
> Does completion of the Bay Trail need to wait for private development or could the City bridge the
gaps itself? (Gardiner. Existing policy has been to have the gaps filled in with new development, but
going forward a capital program could be considered if there was a desire for the City to take the lead.
Developers are advised it is their responsibility to fill the gaps corresponding to their properties.)
> Will parking ratios be evaluated in the update? (Gardiner. Yes, in General Plan Update coordination
with the Land Use Element)
> Is there required regular reporting by city departments on how each category of users are being
served? (Gardiner: Could establish an index or indicators to be tracked on a regular basis. Kane: Public
Works does this internally - not sure if this is summarized to be presented externally as well.) Wants
City to be able to easily report how it is doing on Complete Streets goals, and support future grants and
applications.
> Should cite more recent update of the Bicycle Transportation Plan.
> Coordination between City and school on bike routes, with awareness at the beginning of each
school year so that parents can know safe routes are available.
> Target a higher bike and walking to work percentage.
> Focus on California Drive between Broadway and Burlingame Avenue for road diets, street calming,
greater density to make a more pleasant and usable connection.
> Street trees for road calming on wide streets such as Rollins Road and California Drive - move
street tree wells into parking lane in order to grow larger street canopies and create space for wider
sidewalks.
> Clarify changes in trends in pedestrianlbike commuting on page 10.
> BPAC and TSPC should review this document.
> BPAC business plan for a bike fair and family bike ride.
> Update Burlingame Avenue status on page 19.
> California Drive/Lorton Avenue intersection shows two alternatives (page 48) but if signalized
intersection is no longer an option it should be deleted from the document.
> Merchants looking to add bike racks, Lunardi's will be proposing bike racks.
> Could additional data help influence reopening the Broadway Caltrain station to weekday service?
(Gardiner: The issue is the design of the station, not ridership. Should be rectified with the electrification
project.)
> How did North EI Camino Real frontage road design end up in the plan if it could not be
implemented? (Gardiner. May have had conflicting information, or expectation it would be easier to

vacate frontage roads than what has since been encountered.)
> EI Camino Real is a state road under Caltrans jurisdiction. Has there been discussion on taking road
back from State and taking on responsibility of maintaining road? (Kane: Has been a subject of
discussion for many years.)
> Interest in gauging numbers of commuters who walk or bike to transit.
> Bayfront does not seem to be built out. Could there be circulation improvements that could support
mon: development in this area? (Gardiner: Anticipate this will be a focus in the General Plan Update.)
> Should focus on the safety of children across EI Camino Real. Add safe routes to school policy.
> Does grade separation at railroad involve road or tracks going under? (Gardiner: Both are being
considered as options.)

Although the current Circulation Element of the General Plan was adopted by the City
Council as a part of the original adoption of the General Plan (October 20, 1969, Resolution
No. 87-69) there are several other policy documents related to circulation that have been
adopted over the intervening years. These documents consist of:
• Complete Streets Policy of the City of Burlingame - adopted by the City Council
on November 5, 2012, by Resolution No. 77-2012

October 8, 2004, by Resolution No. 91-2004
• Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan Chapter IV. Traffic and Circulation -
adopted by the City Council on April 5, 2004, by Resolution No. 26-2004.
Amendments to the Bayfront Specific Plan were adopted on August 21, 2006, by
Resolution No. 58-2006 and on June 18, 2012, by Resolution No. 44-2012.
• North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan Chapter S. Circulation and
Infrastructure - adopted by the City Council on On September 20, 2004, by
Resolution No. 85-2004. The Specific Plan was amended by the Burlingame City
Council on February 5, 2007, by Resolution No. 13-2007.
• Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan Chapter 7. Circulation and Parking -
adopted by the City Council on On October 4, 2010, by Resolution No. 73-2010.
The purpose of this updtate is to consolidate all the relevant circulation policies into one
document, to update the data in these documents to reflect current conditions, and to
report on what implementation measures within these documents have been completed. It
is not the intent to change the policies that are now in place; the existing policies
incorporate the provisions of the California Complete Streets Act (AB 1358) and take into
account the multimodal transportation networks within the community and the connections
throughout San Mateo County and the Bay Area.

I. Current Circulation Element
On October 20, 1969, by Resolution No. 87-69, the Burlingame City Council adopted the
Burlingame General Plan, which included the following Circulation Element.
OVERVIEW
An integrated system is proposed including the Southern Pacific Railroad (including both
passenger service and through movement of freight), local transit, and four categories of
streets and highways. The street and highway system would accommodate private passenger
automobiles, trucks and local transit vehicles. The integrated system is proposed to include all
modes of travel, including walking, bicycling and transit, allowing users of all ages and abilities
to reach destinations in the community and region safely and directly.
POPULATION
In 2000, 28,128 people lived in the City of Burlingame. About 20.6% of these people were
under the age of 20 and 15.2% were over 65. By 2010 the city's Population had increased by
2.4% to 28,806. There was a minor change in the age composition. By 2010 about 23% of the
city's residents were under 20 and about 14% were over 65. In 2000 there were 2.22 persons
per household on the average. This had increased slightly to 2.29 persons per household in
2010. These minor changes in population and composition reflect the fact that Burlingame is a
built out community where there are no large vacant tracts of land suitable for residential
development. Any new development is expected to replace existing development, primarily in
areas that are near the community's two major transit hubs (Burlingame Caltrain Station and
Millbrae Intermodal Station) and along transit corridors such as EI Camino Real and California
Drive.
Population projections for Burlingame are based on build -out of vacant and underused
residential land to the densities given in the General Plan. Projections of household size reflect
a continuation of the minor increase of average household size. However, the critical factor in
the population range given is the rate of new residential construction. The following projections
are derived from Projections 2013, published by the Association of Bay Area Governments:

TRANSIT
An integrated system of regional rapid transit and local transit has been developed to serve
Burlingame residents and workers and to provide for the high volume through -movement that
needs to be accommodated in this corridor. If determined appropriate, grade separations
should be considered to accommodate local street crossings.
The Caltrain commuter line has been established along the existing Southern Pacific Railway
right-of-way along the California Drive/Carolan Avenue corridor. This line also connects to the
Millbrae Intermodal Station with connections to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system and
SamTrans Bus lines. Opportunities exist for Complete Streets projects along this corridor. A
Complete Streets project is proposed for Carolan Avenue between Oak Grove Avenue and
Broadway, to accommodate bicycle lanes and pedestrian improvements. This project is now in
the design process, and is expected to be under construction in 2015. These projects will
enhance the use of the transit facilities and reduce reliance on private automobile travel. There
are also opportunities near the transit stations identified in the Downtown Specific Plan and the
North Burlingame Rollins Road Specific Plan for higher density development that will benefit
from proximity to public transit and to the Complete Streets amenities.
STREETS AND HIGHWAYS
Bayshore Freeway (Highway 101) and Junipero Freeway (280 Freeway) are recognized in the
plan. The main proposals affecting the freeways are additions and improvements to the
interchanges at Millbrae Avenue, Broadway, and Peninsula Avenue to provide for full directional
movement at each of these interchanges and to accommodate the increasing volumes of traffic
that will be generated, particularly from the industrial areas. The Millbrae Avenue and
Peninsula Interchange improvements have been completed, and the Broadway interchange
project began construction in 2014. These interchange improvements include facilities for
bicycles and pedestrians using the overcrossings of US 101.
A system of major arterials is proposed to take care of longer distance local trips and to
connect Burlingame with adjacent communities. These include EI Camino Real (a State
highway), California Drive, and Bayshore Highway and its extension through the Anza Pacific
development (Airport Boulevard) for major north -south movements. The latter route would
connect with the San Francisco Airport on the north and with the major street system in the
City of San Mateo on the south. Airport Boulevard has been completed to provide through
traffic in the Bayfront area, and a Bayfront trail system has been developed adjacent to
Bayside Park to provide pedestrian and bicycle travel through this area. In addition, bicycle
lanes were recently added to Airport Boulevard. Other major arterials include Millbrae Avenue
(in the City of Millbrae), Trousdale Drive, Carmelita Avenue from EI Camino Real to California
Drive„ and Oak Grove Avenue and Peninsula Avenue. These arterials would carry the major
volume of east -west trips and connect with State highways and freeways.
The other elements of the street system are secondary arterials connecting collector and local
access streets to the major arterials, and collector streets to feed traffic to the arterials and
major centers of activity in Burlingame. The systems of streets proposed around the Broadway
shopping center and the Burlingame Avenue shopping center are of particular importance.
These are intended to provide movement around the centers, connect to parking lots, and
permit the central portions of these shopping centers to provide for limited vehicular traffic and
turned over primarily to pedestrians.
GRADE SEPARATION STRUCTURES
Railroad grade separations are recommended at Broadway, Oak Grove, Howard, and Peninsula
Avenues. A highway overpass is needed across Bayshore Freeway to connect Millsdale and
Bicycle
Page 2
East Millsdale Industrial areas. (See also proposals under the heading, Broadway-Bayshore
Interchange Area.) A bicycle pedestrian overcrossing of Highway 101 has been constructed
adjacent to the Broadway interchange to provide access to Bayside Park from the
neighborhoods south of Broadway.
PARKWAY
In addition to the other elements of the circulation system, it is recommended that a parkway
be established along the Bayfront connecting Burlingame's Bayside Park with San Mateo
County's Coyote Point Park. Provisions for the Bayfront trail system are included in the
Bayfront Specific Plan, using the Bay Conservation and Development Commission Plan as a
guide. Portions of the trail have been developed in conjunction with development projects
along the Bay shoreline. However, there are gaps in the trail system that will only be
completed when the remaining properties with Bay frontage are developed.
BROADWAY-BAYSHORE INTERCHANGE AREA
Major changes are needed in the circulation system around the Bayshore-Broadway
interchange and the proposed grade separation at Broadway and the railroad. The changes
should be designed to:
1. Reduce the congestion at the present intersection at Rollins Road and Broadway by
providing other means of access to Millsdale and by reducing points of conflict.
2. Provide as much flexibility as possible so that future changes in travel patterns can be
accommodated within the system.
3. Provide alternative routes of travel so that individual drivers have some options to
permit them to avoid points of congestion. (Traffic flow tends to be somewhat self-
adjusting where alternative paths of travel are available.)
4. Increase capacity throughout the Broadway-Bayshore Area by reducing conflicts
through traffic control measures, providing added lanes at critical points, and grade
separating turning movements wherever feasible.
More specific proposals are:
1. Grade separate Broadway and the Southern Pacific Railroad.
2. Provide two completely new links to permit some traffic to avoid the Broadway -Rollins
Road intersection. One of these should connect the Millsdale and East Millsdale
Industrial areas with an overpass on Bayshore Freeway. The other link proposed is a
new street southeast of Cadillac Way extending from Bayshore Boulevard to Carolan
Avenue. This new street should be obtained when the presently vacant land is
developed.
3. On Bayshore Freeway, move the entrance to the southbound off -ramp as far north as
possible and provide connections to Marsten Road, Broadway and Cadillac Way.
Many of these issues will be resolved by the construction of the Broadway Interchange. The
improvements at the interchange are expected to increase the capacity of the
Broadway/Rollins intersection and provide for less delays due to congestion. Any remaining
issues can be evaluated as a part of the upcoming General Plan update.

II. Complete Streets Policy of the City of Burlingame
On November 5, 2012, the City Council of Burlingame, by Resolution No. 77-2012, adopted the
following Complete Streets Policy.
COMPLETE STREETS POLICY OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
The objective of this policy is to establish guiding principles and practices so transportation
improvements are planned, designed, constructed, operated and maintained to encourage
walking, bicycling, and transit use while promoting safe operations for all users.
A. COMPLETE STREETS PRINCIPLES
1. Complete Streets Serving All Users. The City of Burlingame expresses its
commitment to creating and maintaining Complete Streets that provide safe,
comfortable, and convenient travel along and across streets (including streets, roads,
highways, bridges, and other portions of the transportation system) through a
comprehensive, integrated transportation network that serves all categories of users,
including pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of
commercial goods, users and operators of public transportation, seniors, children,
youth, and families.
2. Context Sensitivity. In planning and implementing street projects, departments and
agencies of the City of Burlingame shall maintain sensitivity to local conditions in both
residential and business districts as well as urban, suburban, and rural areas, and shall
work with residents, merchants, and other stakeholders to ensure that a strong sense
of place ensues. Improvements that will be considered include sidewalks, shared use
paths, bicycle lanes, bicycle routes, paved shoulders, street trees and landscaping,
planting strips, accessible curb ramps, crosswalks, refuge islands, pedestrian signals,
signs, street furniture, bicycle parking facilities, public transportation stops and
facilities, transit priority signalization, and other features assisting in the provision of
safe travel for all users, such as traffic calming circles, transit bulb outs, and road diets,
as well as those features identified in the City of Burlingame Bicycle Transportation
Plan.
3. Complete Streets Routinely Addressed by All Departments. All relevant
departments and agencies of the City of Burlingame shall work towards making
Complete Streets practices a routine part of everyday operations, approach every
relevant project, program, and practice as an opportunity to improve streets and the
transportation network for all categories of users, and work in coordination with other
departments, agencies, and jurisdictions to maximize opportunities for Complete
Streets, connectivity, and cooperation. The following projects provide these
opportunities: pavement resurfacing, restriping, accessing above and underground
utilities, signalization operations or modifications, and maintenance of
landscaping/related features.
4. All Projects and Phases. Complete Streets infrastructure sufficient to enable
reasonably safe travel along and across the right of way for each category of users shall
be incorporated into all planning, funding, design, approval, and implementation
processes for any construction, reconstruction, retrofit, maintenance, operations,
alteration, or repair of streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and other
portions of the transportation system), except that specific infrastructure for a given
category of users may be excluded if an exemption is approved via the process set forth
in section C.1of this policy.
Complete Streets Policy Page 5
B. IMPLEMENTATION
1. Plan Consultation and Consistency. Maintenance, planning, and design of projects
affecting the transportation system shall be consistent with local bicycle, pedestrian,
transit, multimodal, and other relevant plans, except that where such consistency
cannot be achieved without negative consequences, consistency shall not be required if
the head of the relevant department provides written approval explaining the basis of
such deviation. Such deviations shall be presented to the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Advisory Committee early in the planning and design stage, to ensure the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee has an opportunity to provide comments.
2. Street Network/Connectivity. As feasible, the City of Burlingame shall incorporate
Complete Streets infrastructure into existing streets to improve the safety and
convenience of users and to create employment, with the particular goal of creating a
connected network of facilities accommodating each category of users, and increasing
connectivity across jurisdictional boundaries and for existing and anticipated future
areas of travel origination or destination.
3. Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Consultation. Applicable
transportation projects shall be reviewed by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee early in the planning and design stage, to provide the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Advisory Committee an opportunity to provide comments regarding Complete Streets
features to be incorporated into the project.
4. Evaluation. All relevant agencies or departments shall perform evaluations of how well
the streets and transportation network of the City of Burlingame are serving each
category of users.
C. Exemptions
1. Leadership Approval for Exemptions. Projects that seek Complete Streets
exemptions must provide written finding of why accommodations for all modes that
were not included in the project and signed off by the Public Works Director or
equivalent high level staff person. Projects that are granted exceptions must be made
publically available for review.

III. Bicycle Transportation Plan
On October 8, 2004, the Burlingame City Council, by Resolution No. 91-2004, adopted the
Bicycle Transportation Plan, an amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan.
Updated February 2, 2015: The following text has been updated to reflect current data and
trends, and includes a summary and status update of the priority projects listed in the 2004
Bicycle Transportation Plan (refer to Pages 18 — 20 for Priority Project Status Update).
1. OVERVIEW
Purpose of the Plan
Since Burlingame's inception, the center of community activity has been around its two
commercial areas which grew up adjacent to the Burlingame and Broadway train stations with
surrounding nearby multiple family residential development fanning out to single family
homes. The promotion of bicycling as an alternative transportation source is a natural
progression from this transit -oriented community base. Since Burlingame is an older
community, many of the streets are narrow and most of its properties are built out. New
development generally occurs on sites which have had a previous use. The purpose of this plan
is to:
❑ Identify the regional and local bicycle routes through Burlingame for commuters,
recreational riders and local shopping trips;
❑ Explore how the bicycle routes can be made more safe and accessible;
❑ Provide a framework for making physical improvements to the bicycle route
system.
Public Participation
In order to take leadership in promoting bicycle safety in the community and participation in
the preparation of this plan, the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSP) and the Planning
Commission appointed a subcommittee consisting of two TSP members and one Planning
Commissioner. This committee has also contacted members of the local bicycle community to
ask their advice on the best and safest routes through Burlingame as well as the areas which
need improvement.
Once the plan was drafted, public hearings before the Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission
and the Planning Commission were held to offer an opportunity for the public to review and
comment on the plan. Notices of these hearings were published in local newspapers, posted on
the City's website, and posted on streets in the Burlingame Avenue and Broadway Commercial
Areas, as well as at the train stations and at the local bicycle shop. Following the public
hearings, the City Council held a public hearing and adopted the plan by amending it to the
City's General Plan.
This bicycle plan also builds on the regional routes developed in the San Mateo County
Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, adopted in 2011, which was developed after a
series of public workshops held throughout San Mateo County. It is also consistent with the
routes shown in the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's adopted 2009 Regional Bicycle
Plan Update for the San Francisco Bay Area, which shows the Bay Trail and the
California/Carolan north -south route through Burlingame.
Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 7
2. BACKGROUND AND SETTING
The terrain in Burlingame is similar to other Peninsula communities, with a relatively flat area
east of EI Camino Real, and hillier areas to the west of EI Camino Real towards Skyline
Boulevard and Highway 280. The north/south bicycle routes are generally flat, with gently
rolling hills on the route just west of EI Camino Real. However, the road connections between
lower Burlingame through the hillside areas to Skyline Boulevard are fairly steep. There are
routes in nearby Hillsborough to reach the west end of Burlingame which are not quite as steep
but are more circuitous.
Because most of Burlingame was subdivided before 1940 and the city was almost fully
developed by the 1970's, with little population growth in the ensuing years, the street pattern
is fixed and many of the older residential streets are narrow designed to pre -World War II
standards. EI Camino Real as it passes through Burlingame is a substandard four -lane highway
lined by a historic grove of Eucalyptus trees. Burlingame has always been a city of trees, and
even in the early days, efforts to widen EI Camino were fought by residents wanting to
preserve the Eucalyptus and Elm trees which line it. The historic Tree Rows were listed in the
National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
There are a few local streets through the established residential neighborhoods which were
originally designed as "boulevards" and have adequate width to accommodate bicycle travel.
These routes are now used informally by bicyclists. The proposed local and regional network of
bicycle routes was developed using these streets as a base, to connect to the local routes in
San Mateo, Hillsborough and Millbrae. The inter -city routes pass through Burlingame's
neighborhoods as close as possible to existing local parks and schools.
In addition, Burlingame has about two and one-half linear miles of frontage on San Francisco
Bay. The Bayfront land area was primarily created from fill in the 1950's and 1960's. As
development occurred after the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) was
established in 1972, sections of the Bay Trail were built adjacent to the bay's edge. Since there
are still a few parcels which have not been developed, or reused since BCDC was established
by the State legislature, a few gaps in this trail system on private property remain. In 1999,
the City completed construction of the portions of the Bay Trail located on City -owned parcels
with frontage on San Francisco Bay.
Except for a few vacant parcels on the Bayfront, the Burlingame Community is primarily built
out, and the land use patterns are well established. Figure III -1 depicts Burlingame's
transportation hubs, schools, parks and shopping districts.

Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 9
Existing and Expected Bicycle Commuters
Based on data collected in the 2010 Census, there are 3453 residents who live and also work
in Burlingame. Of those, 66 (1.9%) commute by bicycle and 345 (10.0%) walk to work. Of the
14,570 Burlingame workers 16 years old and older, there are 131 people (0.9%) who
commute to work by bicycle and 539 people (3.7%) who walk to work.
County -wide, the 2010 Census shows that out of the 358,970 workers, 4,666 (1.3%) bicycle to
work, and 9,333 (2.6%) walk to work. In comparison, Burlingame has more people who walk
to work and fewer people who bike to work than in the County as a whole.
The following tables, based on data from Census 2010, 2000 and 1990 Census, compare
Burlingame commuters to commuters in the region and State.
Number of Bicycle and Walking Trips, Workers 16 Years Old and Older
Comparison 1990, 2000 and 2010 Census
The data indicates that Burlingame has shown a slight increase in bicycling commute trips and
an increase in walking trips over the past ten years, which is on par with the County, Bay Area
and State-wide in the number of commuter trips by bicycle and walking. Over the past ten
years, Burlingame, San Mateo County and the Bay Area have seen a significant increase in
bicycling and walking trips by commuters, while in California as a whole, bicycle commute trips
have increased, and pedestrian commute trips have decreased.
The Bay Area has a temperate climate which is conducive to commuting by bicycle or walking.
The San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle Route Plan indicates that based on a survey
conducted county -wide many people who might bicycle to work are concerned with finding safe
routes and having bicycle facilities, including bicycle parking and showers, at their place of
employment.
By making the improvements proposed by this plan, the bike routes through Burlingame will
be safer and easier to use. It is expected that the number of commuters using bicycles or
walking could be increased to well above the Bay Area average. It is a goal of this plan to
increase the number of bicycle and pedestrian commuters in Burlingame to 6.5% of
commuters walking or riding their bicycle to work; and to facilitate bicycle access to
employment destinations in the City.

Existing Bicycle Routes
The primary bicycle routes through Burlingame are now marked with signs. In 1972, the
Burlingame City Council adopted a system of bicycle routes through Burlingame as shown on
Figure III -2, Exhibit A dated May 15, 1972. The routes include Bayshore Highway and Airport
Boulevard east of U.S. 101, Skyline Boulevard on the western edge of Burlingame, and two
other north/south routes on local residential roads between San Mateo and Millbrae, with local
east -west connector routes near the train stations and the commercial core. This route map as
adopted in 1972 shows no east/west routes to connect to Skyline Boulevard to the west.
In the 1970's, bike lanes were installed on Skyline Boulevard. In addition, bicycle route signs
were installed to delineate one of the north -south Class III bike routes through Burlingame.
Over the years, most of the signs along this route have been removed and the bike route is no
longer clearly marked. There are no signs along the other 1972 identified routes through
Burlingame.
Since the adoption of the Bicycle Plan in 2004, most of the bicycle routes identified are now
marked by signs, bicycle lanes have been added on Howard Avenue, Airport Boulevard and
Airport Boulevard, and "sharrow" lane markings have been added to California and Hillside
Drives.

the Anza Boulevard off -ramp to connect to Rollins Road near Morrell Avenue and
Winchester Drive.
Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 13
4. BICYCLE NETWORK, FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS
Local and Regional Routes
Figure III -3 shows the local and regional bicycle routes through Burlingame. The primary
regional routes are:
North/South Routes
• Bay Trail
• Airport Boulevard/Bayshore Highway
• Howard/Carolan/California Drive
East/West Routes
• Howard Avenue from Humboldt in San Mateo to Ralston Avenue in Hillsborough
• Adeline Drive from Central Burlingame through unincorporated Burlingame Hills to
Skyline Boulevard
The local routes through the residential neighborhoods also provide regional access, but by
roads with less traffic and are more scenic. The route west of EI Camino Real which follows
Cabrillo Avenue and jogs up to Quesada Way passes several schools and parks and offers a
fairly flat alternative to EI Camino Real, which is much too busy and narrow through
Burlingame to accommodate bicycle traffic.
Bicycle Storage and Shower Facilities
Bicycle racks are available at the Burlingame Public Library, the Recreation Center at
Washington Park and at the schools and parks shown on Figure III -3. Based on the San
Mateo County Congestion Management Plan, bicycle facilities are required as traffic
mitigation for all new development in Burlingame. These facilities could include bicycle
lockers, racks and shower facilities provided for employees working in a new office or
commercial building. It is recommended that additional bicycle racks of a type selected by
the City be placed at strategic locations, such as public parking lots as a part of streetscape
improvements, within the Broadway and Burlingame Avenue Commercial Areas as uses
change, buildings are replaced, and sidewalks are redone.
Bicycle lockers and racks are available at both the Burlingame and Broadway Caltrain
Stations. The Burlingame train station has 18 bicycle lockers available for rent on a monthly
basis and a bicyle rack which will hold 8 bicycles. The Broadway train station has 12 bicycle
lockers for rent and two bicycle racks which will hold a total of 16 bicycles.
Coordination and Consistency with other Plans
This plan is an amendment to the Circulation Element of the Burlingame General Plan, and
is consistent with the transportation policies contained in that plan, including the Bayfront
Specific Plan, the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan and the Downtown Specific
Plan.
The regional bicycle routes shown in the plan are consistent with the routes shown in the
San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle Plan adopted by the City/County Association of
Governments in 2011. In addition, the priority projects identified in the County's plan have
been incorporated into the list of projects identified in the implementation chapter of this
plan. In addition, the routes in this plan are consistent with the routes shown in the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission's adopted 2009 Regional Bicycle Plan for the San
Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 14
Francisco Bay Area. The MTC regional plan shows the Bay Trail and the California/Carolan
north -south route as regional routes through Burlingame.
The regional routes shown also connect with regional routes to the south which are shown
in the City of San Mateo Bicycle and Pedestrian Chapter of the Circulation Element. To the
north, the regional routes connect with those identified in Millbrae's General Plan. Although
the Town of Hillsborough does not have a formal bicycle plan, the routes shown through
Hillsborough are the routes which are commonly used by cyclists and connect to the
planned route on Skyline Drive in Burlingame as well as to regional routes along the San
Andreas reservoir.
Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 15
Bicycle Transport on Transit
There are two Caltrain stations in Burlingame, at Burlingame Avenue and Broadway at
California Drive. Each local train is equipped with two cars which allow up to 40 bicycles on
board (gallery car) or 24 bicycles on board (Bombadier cars). These bicycle cars are heavily
used during commute hours. Caltrain also offers limited stop and "Baby Bullet" express
trains that do not stop at all local stops. The bullet train service does not stop in
Burlingame; the nearest stop is at the Millbrae Intermodal Transit Station just north of the
Burlingame border. Some of the limited -stop trains stop at the Burlingame train station.
Caltrain offers 18 bicycle lockers and 13 rack spaces at the Burlingame station.
SamTrans operates a bus system throughout San Mateo County, with three local routes and
five regional routes which provide service in Burlingame. All SamTrans buses are equipped
with bicycle racks, which hold a maximum of two bikes, and two additional bikes are
allowed inside the bus. Following are the bus routes which serve Burlingame:
❑ Route 43 travels from Burlingame Plaza Shopping Center at EI Camino Real and
Murchison and connects with the Tanforan Shopping Center in San Bruno,
traversing local streets through Millbrae and EI Camino Real.
❑ Route 46 operates entirely within Burlingame starting at Trousdale and Quesada
on the north and traveling south along California Drive to Burlingame Avenue,
and east to Washington Park and the Recreation Center.
❑ Route 292 runs from the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo to the
Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco, and travels through Burlingame
along Peninsula Avenue, California Drive, Broadway and Bayshore Highway.
❑ Route 397 Connects downtown Palo Alto with downtown San Francisco, and
travels through Burlingame on EI Camino Real.
Bicycle Safety and Education
❑ Currently, there is no avenue for bicycle education and safety. It is proposed that
brochures be developed which inform people of the location of the bicycle routes
through Burlingame, as well as to offer safety tips for riding, such as the rules of
the road, how to negotiate intersections, riding defensively, and how to use hand
signals. These brochures would be made available at the City's recreation center
and library, as well as distributed to schools. In addition, the posting of signs
along the bicycle routes will educate motorists to expect bicycle traffic on these
streets. The Burlingame Police Department has a School Liaison Officer, and the
brochures can be distributed through this officer as a part of a bicycle safety
education program. The Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance also has a
program that provides Bike and Pedestrian Safety workshops at an employer's
work site.
❑ In addition, the League of American Bicyclists conducts an education program for
bicyclists to learn how to ride safely. Classes are taught through local community
centers and provide education to both children and adults. The community can
take advantage of this resource to provide education to all cyclists.
❑ Once some of the designated routes have been established, the community
should hold a "Bicycle Day" to promote the use of the bicycle routes and to
distribute information on bicycle safety.
Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 17
S. IMPLEMENTATION
Priority Projects
In an effort to improve bicycle transportation in and through Burlingame, the following have
been identified as having the highest priority and giving the most benefit to bicycle
commuters and recreational riders in the community.
1. Bicycle Detectors/Crosswalks and marked bike lane at the Cadillac
Way/Rollins Road intersection to access the new Broadway
bicycle/ pedestrian bridge. As a part of the Caltrans Auxiliary Lane project
between Third Avenue in San Mateo and Millbrae Avenue, Caltrans will be
constructing a bicycle pedestrian bridge adjacent to the existing narrow Broadway
interchange overpass. The bridge will land in the island across from the Cadillac
Way/Rollins Road intersection, where it is difficult for pedestrians and bicyclists to
cross Rollins Road to access the bridge. This crossing could be made safer by:
a. providing a crosswalk across Rollins Road from the north side of Cadillac Way to
the bridge landing;
b. providing street markings and bicycle detectors on Cadillac Way so that cyclists
can make a left turn towards the bridge landing; and
c. adding a designated bicycle lane along Rollins Road approaching the bridge to
separate bicyclists from the nearest automobile travel lane.
✓ STATUS UPDATE. While these improvements have not been completed, the
Broadway interchange project, which started construction in 2014, will result
in a reconfiguration of this intersection. Bicycle and pedestrian access to the
existing bridge will be included as part of the interchange project.
2. Bike Lanes on Carolan, California and Howard Avenue — The San Mateo County
Comprehensive Bicycle Route Plan contains a list of 15 priority projects to enhance
the regional bicycle route system. One of the projects on this list is the completion of
a North-South Bikeway as it runs through San Mateo, Burlingame and Millbrae. The
portion through Burlingame would connect with Delaware Avenue in San Mateo to
the South, and would connect to the Millbrae Intermodal Transit Station to the North.
Most of this regional route is on streets (California, Carolan, Howard) which have adequate
width to provide Class I bike lanes, or to provide adequate shoulder for cyclists to safely
ride next to automobile traffic. It is recommended that improvements to these roadways be
made to add Class II bike lanes to the extent feasible, and to provide adequate signage to
direct riders to use this route (see diagram on Page CI -15 for an explanation of Class I, II
and II bicycle routes).
✓ STATUS UPDATE. Within the last few years, bicycle signage and "Sharrow"
lane markings have been added on California Drive, and bicycle lanes have
been added on Howard Avenue between California Drive and Humboldt
Avenue. A Complete Streets project is being designed for Carolan Avenue
between Oak Grove Avenue and Broadway. Design for this project is now
underway, and it is expected to begin construction by Fall of 2015.
Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 18
3. Explore the possibility of a local bicycle path between the Broadway and
Burlingame Commercial Areas and train stations using existing right-of-way
along the Caltrain tracks. Along the Caltrain tracks between Burlingame Avenue
and Broadway, there may be excess right-of-way on either side of the tracks
sufficient to install a Class I bicycle path. This right-of-way is not owned or controlled
by the City of Burlingame, but belongs to either the Joint Powers Board which
operates Caltrain, or the City and County of San Francisco (adjacent to California
Drive). This project would have to be a joint effort in cooperation with these agencies
and is a long range project. If the project is determined to be feasible, the path
should be a joint use trail, with separate clearly designated areas for bicycles and for
pedestrians. It is allso recommended that a landscaped buffe be included between
the railroad tracks and the pathway.
4. Place Bicycle Racks in the Burlingame Avenue and Broadway Commercial
Districts. These two busy commercial districts can be easily accessed by bicycle
from the surrounding residential areas. Bicycle racks of a design to match the
existing street furniture could be placed either along the sidewalks or in the many
public parking lots which serve these areas. These should be designed into any
future streetscape improvements in the public right-of-way.
✓ STATUS UPDATE. Bicycle racks have been added on both Burlingame Avenue
and Broadway as part of the streetscape projects for these streets. The
Burlingame Avenue streetscape project was completed in November, 2014, and
includes wider sidewalks along Burlingame Avenue between California Drive and
El Camino Real to allow more room for dining al fresco, parallel parking,
improved intersections with corner bulb -outs, classic street lights and furniture,
beautiful landscaping.
S. Explore the possibility of creating a loop path connecting to the proposed
creekside paths in the Rollins Road area. As a part of the North
Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan, a series of multi -use (pedestrian/bicycle, etc.)
creek trails is proposed which would be developed as new development occurs in
that area. In order to connect these trails within the Rollins Road area and provide a
full connection through the Rollins Road area, it is proposed that bicycle connections
to these creek trails be created. The exact locations of the connections and whether
they would be on public or private property would need to be explored.
6. Provide a second bridge crossing of U.S. 101 in the vicinity of Winchester
Drive to connect to the existing bike and pedestrian path on the east side
near Anza Boulevard and Bayside Park. The Bayfront Specific Plan identifies this
location for a pedestrian/bicycle crossing of 101 which provides direct access from
the residential neighborhoods west of U.S. 101 to the recreational amenities at
Bayside Park and along the Bay Trail.
7. Bicycle Route Signs along Local and Regional Routes. Another project on the
priority list in the San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle Route Plan is to provide
directional signage and signal detectors along the regional north south route. In
addition, some of Burlingame's local bicycle routes have signs which were installed in
the early 1970's, but many are missing and the route is not always apparent. A
comprehensive program for signing all the bicycle routes through Burlingame would
go a long way toward making the City's system more user-friendly and safer. Also,
the signage would raise awareness of automobile drivers to look for bicyclists along
these routes. Since many of these local bicycle routes are through residential
Bicycle Transportation Plan Page 19
neighborhoods, the option to mark some of the routes with street markings rather
than signs, where the situation warrants, should be considered.
✓ STATUS UPDATE., Comprehensive Bicycle Route signage has been implemented
for most of the bicycle routes throughout the Community.
As a part of this sign program, it is also recommended that signs be placed at the
prominent gateway entrances to Burlingame which include a statement which
identifies Burlingame as a bicycle friendly community. Possible locations for these
signs would be at the City limits on EI Camino, California Drive, Rollins Road, Airport
Boulevard and Bayshore Highway.
8. Explore the possibility of adding "zebra crossings" (clearly marked
pedestrian crossings) across EI Camino Real and California Drive at
intersections with bicycle routes. One of the impediments to bicycling to and
from parks, playgrounds and shopping areas in Burlingame is the ability to safely
cross these two busy arterial streets. Caltrans has recently completed the installation
of video bicycle detectors on signals at critical intersections along EI Camino Real.
Where the video detectors work with the signals, the striped crossing would reinforce
and make the motorist aware to watch for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing at the
bicycle route intersections.
9. Create handouts and an outreach program to make people aware of the
bicycle routes and provide guidance regarding bicycle safety. An important
element of creating a safe environment for bicycle riding is education. The public
needs to be aware of the routes which can be used to access our local facilities, and
both motorists and bicyclists can benefit from learning the rules of safe bicycle
riding. The handouts would be made available to schools through the Police
Department's School Liaison Officer and distributed at parks and libraries.
6. DESIGN STANDARDS
The proposed projects will be designed in accordance with the Design and Maintenance
Standards as outlined in Chapter 5.0 of the San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle Route
Plan. The general criteria outlined in the County Plan is that projects are to Conform to
Caltrans standards for bikeways. The following chart delineates the three types of bicycle
facilities, Class I, Class II and Class III. Specific details on the design standards for these
types of facilities may be found in the San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle Route Plan.

FUNDING SOURCES
There are several Federal, State and local Programs which provide funding for bicycle and
pedestrian projects. These projects are rated based on such criteria as the need of the
project to complete a regional bicycle route system, the increased safety that the project
will provide and the amount of the local match for the outside funding. Following are a list of
the primary funding sources available in 2004.
❑ TEA -21 (Transportation Enhancement Activities): This is a federal funding
source which offers funding for projects which enhance alternative transportation
opportunities.
❑ State Bicycle Transportation Account: An annual program through the State
which provides grants to local jurisdictions with an emphasis on projects which
benefit bicycling for commuting purposes.
❑ Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 (SB 821): These funds
originate from the state gasoline tax and are distributed to local jurisdictions
based on population. In San Mateo County, the distribution of these funds is
administered by the San Mateo City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG).
❑ New Construction/Impact Fee: Any new development in Burlingame's
Bayfront and North Burlingame/Rollins Road areas will be required either to
install the planned bicycle improvements on their property and for area -wide
improvements to pay a Development Impact Fee which will fund the future
installation of bicycle lanes on a comprehensive basis.
❑ Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance — This agency has a program which
provides funds to employers to place bike racks and lockers at their place of
business. The Alliance pays one-half the cost for purchasing and installing any
bike parking for up to a maximum of $500.00 per unit. The Alliance also has a
program that provides Bike and Pedestrian Safety workshops at an employers
work site.

IV. Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan -
Traffic and Circulation
On April 5, 2004, the Burlingame City Council, by Resolution No. 26-2004, adopted the
Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan. Amendments to the Bayfront Specific Plan were adopted
on August 21, 2006, by Resolution No. 58-2006 and on June 18, 2012, by Resolution No.
44-2012. Following is the Traffic and Circulation Chapter of the adopted Burlingame
Bayfront Specific Plan.
1. EXISTING ROADWAY CONFIGURATION AND CLASSIFICATION
Roadway Access: The following roadways provide access to and within the Bayfront
Planning Area. Table IV -1 provides an explanation of the roadway classifications, and Figure
IV -1 shows the circulation plan, including bicycle routes.
• US 101 is a State Highway which provides regional access to this section of
Burlingame. This freeway travels in a north -south direction through the State of
California. In the planning area, four travel lanes are provided in each direction
with auxiliary lanes on some segments within Burlingame. The interchanges that
provide access to the Shoreline, Inner Bayshore, and Anza, Anza Extension and
Anza Point Areas are: Millbrae Avenue, Broadway, Anza Boulevard (northbound
only), Peninsula Avenue (northbound only) and Poplar Avenue (southbound
only).
• Airport Boulevard is an arterial roadway which runs parallel to US 101, from
Bayshore Highway at Bayside Park to the City boundary and through
unincorporated San Mateo County to Coyote Point Drive. The width of this
roadway varies from two to four lanes. It provides access to office buildings,
hotels, restaurants, recreation facilities and a long-term airport parking lot. It has
direct access to US 101 at the Broadway interchange.
• Bayshore Highway is a four -lane arterial roadway that parallels US 101 north of
Airport Boulevard at the Broadway interchange and extends to the Millbrae
interchange. It provides access to hotel, office, restaurant, light industrial, and
warehouse uses.
• Anza Boulevard is a two- to four -lane collector roadway that connects Airport
Boulevard to northbound US 101. At its northern end, it provides access to office
and hotel uses.
• Coyote Point Drive is a four -lane roadway that intersects Airport Boulevard
near the US 101/Peninsula Avenue interchange. It provides access to the Coyote
Point County Recreation Area and the City of San Mateo Poplar Creek Golf
Course.

Federal Highway Administration Aid Roadways
In addition to the above classifications, roadways which are considered to be regionally
important have designations assigned by the Federal Highway Administration and the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). The Federal Highway Administration
designates certain roadways as Federal Aid Routes. These routes can be eligible for federal
funding for improvements. Both Bayshore Highway and Airport Boulevard, including the
portion in San Mateo County between Lang Road and the Peninsula Interchange, are
designated as part of Federal Urban Aid Route No. FAU D466 and are eligible for some
federal funding. MTC is a regional transportation agency which oversees transportation
projects in the nine -county San Francisco Bay region. The MTC Metropolitan Roadway
System classifications are used to determining funding priorities for regional transportation
projects. The MTC's Metropolitan Roadway System (MTS) map designates US 101 as an MTS
Freeway, and Bayshore Highway and Airport Boulevard, including the section between Lang
Road and the Peninsula interchange, as MTS Local Roads.
Bicycle Access: Bicycle facilities in the planning area include bike paths, bike lanes, and
bike routes. Bike paths are paved and are separated from roadways by spaces or by
physical barriers. Bike lanes are lanes on roadways designated with special pavement
markings and signs for use exclusively by bicycles. Bike routes are roadways that are
designated for use by bicycles with signs and/or paint.
Bicycle facilities within the planning area include portions of the Bay Trail, a multi -use
recreational paved pathway along San Francisco Bay, Sanchez Channel and Burlingame
Lagoon; and bike lanes on Airport Boulevard (see Figure IV -2, Bicycle and Pedestrian
Circulation Map for existing and proposed bicycle routes). There are two bike routes in
Burlingame which access this area across US 101. Millbrae Avenue in Millbrae also provides
a bicycle route which crosses US 101 to serve this area. There is a bicycle over crossing of
US 101 south of the Broadway interchange, which was installed as a part of the auxiliary
lane project on US 101 which provided auxiliary lanes between the Millbrae interchange and
the 3rd Avenue on and off ramps in San Mateo. The auxiliary lane project also included
widening of the Peninsula Avenue overpass, to include bicycle lanes. Future bicycle and
pedestrian access to the Anza Extension recreation facilities should include a second bridge
over U.S. 101 in the vicinity of Morrell Avenue and Rollins Road.
Bus Service: The Burlingame Bayside Area Shuttle carries commuters between the Millbrae
Intermodal Station and Burlingame businesses along Bayshore Highway and Airport
Boulevard during morning and evening commute periods. The Burlingame Trolley operates
between Airport hotels and office areas and the Burlingame and Broadway shopping areas.
The shuttles are funded by the City of Burlingame, Peninsula Joint Powers Board, San Mateo
Transit District, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, City/County Association of
Governments of San Mateo County, the Downtown Burlingame Business Association, and
the Broadway Improvement District. The services are free to passengers.
The San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) operates fixed -route bus service to San
Mateo County. There is one bus route in the Bayfront Planning Area - Route 292. This route
operates between Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo and the Transbay Terminal in
downtown San Francisco. It operates within the planning area from the Broadway
interchange north on Bayshore Highway.

In 2003 Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) service began from the new Millbrae Station. The
BART station and 3000 -space parking garage are accessed from the Millbrae interchange at
the north end of the planning area. The station is about a mile from Cowan Road and
Bayshore Highway.
Pedestrian Facilities: The completed portions of the Bay Trail provide pedestrian access
along a major portion of the bay frontage throughout the planning area. There are only a
few gaps in the trail which are on private property. When these remaining parcels are
developed or redeveloped, the developer will be required to complete and maintain these
sections of the Bay Trail. Both Bayshore Highway and Airport Boulevard have sidewalks
along their entire length. Most large properties with trail improvements also have vertical
access from the Bay Trail to the public sidewalk, so users today can travel continually on
most of Burlingame's water frontages.
2. TRAFFIC PATTERNS - TRIP GENERATION AND INTERSECTION CAPACITY
There are limited access points to the Bayfront Planning Area. Therefore, it is important that
the main access intersections are operating at an acceptable level of service. Intersection
operations are described by standards known as "level of service" (LOS), which is a
qualitative description of traffic flow based on such factors as speed, travel time, delay, and
freedom to maneuver. Six levels of service are defined, ranging from LOS A, the best
operating conditions, to LOS F, where demand exceeds capacity and there is excessive
delay. LOS E normally corresponds to operation "at capacity".
The following table shows the existing intersection levels of service in the Bayfront Planning
Area, plus development approved and under construction. This establishes the baseline
conditions for the Specific Plan.

Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan - Traffic & Circulation Page 29
The Traffic Analyzer
The 1981 Burlingame Bayfront Specific Area Plan based the mix of land use designations
and densities on the traffic producing characteristics of each of the land uses. The impact of
each use on the key intersections which provide access to the area was critical. The traffic
analyzer model was first developed in 1979 and has been updated twice, most recently in
2002-2003. The distribution and intensity of development was determined for the Specific
Plan based on the assumption that all of the critical intersections, except Broadway on -
ramps, which are already operating at an "F" level of service in the PM peak hours, would
continue to operate at acceptable levels of service.
Different types of development generate traffic at different rates and at different times of
day. Trip generation rates for different types of land uses have been developed to look at
traffic during the evening commute period (PM peak hours), when traffic volumes are
generally highest. These trip generation rates are used to determine the worst case traffic
impacts of a proposed development, particularly on the critical intersections.
Using the Traffic Analyzer model, a new development proposal can be analyzed to
determine its incremental impact on the critical intersections. The analyzer looks at the
capacity of these intersections, consisting of existing traffic volumes plus approved projects,
to establish baseline conditions. The baseline conditions show how much capacity is still
available at each critical intersection (refer to Table IV -1). Using the analyzer tables, the
amount of capacity consumed by a new development project can be determined at each of
the nine key intersections. This provides a .way to monitor the amount of intersection
capacity left for future development in the area, allowing for balanced growth and continued
maintenance of acceptable levels of service within the planning area.
Many jurisdictions consider LOS D to be the minimum acceptable level of service. However,
LOS C is considered the target level of service rating for planning purposes. Therefore, since
the traffic analyzer is a planning tool, the LOS C is used to evaluate Planning Area
intersections in the analyzer.
The original analyzer looked at six key intersections in the area, later expanded to nine
intersections:
• Bayshore Highway/Millbrae Avenue
• Broadway/Rollins Road
• Broadway/Bayshore Highway
• Bayshore Highway/Airport Boulevard
• Airport Boulevard/Anza Boulevard
• Airport Boulevard/Coyote Point Drive
• Peninsula Avenue/North Humboldt Street
• Airport Boulevard/Future 101 Ramps
• Coyote Point Drive/North Bayshore Boulevard
3. NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS
In order to ensure that the capacity of both the critical intersections and the connecting
roadways is maintained at an acceptable level of service, there are several roadway
improvement projects which should occur. Based on each project's impact on the critical
intersections in the Bayfront Area, they will be charged a Bayfront Development Fee to be
matched with City funds to make improvements to the roadway system. Some of these
projects were identified in the 1981 Bayfront Specific Area Plan. The improvements
identified at the time the Bayfront Development Fee was established in 1979 and which
were used as a basis for the original traffic analyzer are as follows:
Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan — Traffic & Circulation Page 30
Status of Bavfrnnt Dpvpinnmont Poo Drninrta
As noted above, three of the six projects have been completed. Engineering and
environmental studies have been completed for the proposal to widen Airport Boulevard to
four lanes and it is still a valid project for improving traffic flow in the Bayfront Planning
Area. This project should be included in the list of projects to be funded by the update of the
Bayfront Development Fee. Preliminary studies were also done on the proposal to build new
freeway on and off -ramps at Humboldt/Howard and Rollins Road and this project was
determined to be infeasible. It should not be included in future improvement plans to be
funded by the Bayfront Development Fee. In addition, the addition of a second left turn lane
to the northbound freeway on-ramp from Broadway was studied. The proposal was to move
the on-ramp to the north with the idea that it would provide for more storage capacity. In
fact, after study it was determined that this project would result in less storage capacity
than is available in the current configuration.
The Traffic Analyzer Update identifies the following additional roadway improvements
required to maintain an acceptable level of service within the planning area. It is proposed
that these roadway improvements would be funded in part by private development through
implementation of an updated Bayfront Development Fee as discussed in Chapter VII. -
Plan Implementation of the Bayfront Specific Plan,
Airport Boulevard Curve Realignment - Airport Boulevard has sharp curves (900) at two
locations along its southern portion in the Anza Point Area. As traffic volumes increase,
these sharp curves will prove to be both capacity constraints and safety hazards. Therefore,
it is recommended that these curves be smoothed out to comfortably handle traffic along
Airport Boulevard at the roadway's design speed. A curve on this type of roadway with a 30
miles per hour (mph) design speed should have a radius of 300 feet.
Airport Boulevard Median Reconstruction/ Site Access Plan - Currently, along Airport
Boulevard between Lang Road and Anza Boulevard, the median is intermittent with frequent
breaks. This median area will likely need to be reconstructed to allow for specific project
access to Airport Boulevard. Therefore, it is recommended that a comprehensive plan be
developed to strategically position the median breaks at appropriate locations along Airport
Boulevard to accommodate future projects. It is recommended that this median access be
planned, rather than designed and constructed on a project -by -project basis, to ensure that

As noted above, three of the six projects have been completed. Engineering and
environmental studies have been completed for the proposal to widen Airport Boulevard to
four lanes and it is still a valid project for improving traffic flow in the Bayfront Planning
Area. This project should be included in the list of projects to be funded by the update of the
Bayfront Development Fee. Preliminary studies were also done on the proposal to build new
freeway on and off -ramps at Humboldt/Howard and Rollins Road and this project was
determined to be infeasible. It should not be included in future improvement plans to be
funded by the Bayfront Development Fee. In addition, the addition of a second left turn lane
to the northbound freeway on-ramp from Broadway was studied. The proposal was to move
the on-ramp to the north with the idea that it would provide for more storage capacity. In
fact, after study it was determined that this project would result in less storage capacity
than is available in the current configuration.
The Traffic Analyzer Update identifies the following additional roadway improvements
required to maintain an acceptable level of service within the planning area. It is proposed
that these roadway improvements would be funded in part by private development through
implementation of an updated Bayfront Development Fee as discussed in Chapter VII. -
Plan Implementation of the Bayfront Specific Plan,
Airport Boulevard Curve Realignment - Airport Boulevard has sharp curves (900) at two
locations along its southern portion in the Anza Point Area. As traffic volumes increase,
these sharp curves will prove to be both capacity constraints and safety hazards. Therefore,
it is recommended that these curves be smoothed out to comfortably handle traffic along
Airport Boulevard at the roadway's design speed. A curve on this type of roadway with a 30
miles per hour (mph) design speed should have a radius of 300 feet.
Airport Boulevard Median Reconstruction/ Site Access Plan - Currently, along Airport
Boulevard between Lang Road and Anza Boulevard, the median is intermittent with frequent
breaks. This median area will likely need to be reconstructed to allow for specific project
access to Airport Boulevard. Therefore, it is recommended that a comprehensive plan be
developed to strategically position the median breaks at appropriate locations along Airport
Boulevard to accommodate future projects. It is recommended that this median access be
planned, rather than designed and constructed on a project -by -project basis, to ensure that
Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan - Traffic & Circulation Page 31
project access locations are efficiently located with respect to each other and to Airport
Boulevard.
Airport Boulevard Bridge Widening (Sanchez Channel) - Airport Boulevard transitions
from four lanes to three lanes (one southbound lane and two northbound lanes) just north
of the Burlingame Lagoon bridge crossing, and continues with this configuration south of the
lagoon. Although the capacity of the roadway is expected to be adequate, providing a
second lane in each direction allows traffic to turn into and out of developed sites without
impeding through traffic and providing safe pedestrian separation. Therefore, it is
recommended that this roadway and bridge be widened to accommodate a four -lane cross
section, with full pedestrian access to the adjacent Bay trail.
Transition between New Broadway Interchange and Airport Boulevard - Airport
Boulevard, between its current intersections with the Bayshore Highway and Anza
Boulevard, is a two-lane facility. In the future, the Broadway interchange with US 101 will
be reconfigured and straightened to align directly with Airport Boulevard at Bayshore
Highway. Broadway is a four -lane facility. Therefore, in order to connect with the
straightened Broadway, it is recommended that Airport Boulevard be widened to four lanes
between the Bayshore Highway and Anza Boulevard. This widening, in conjunction with the
bridge widening described above, will create a continuous, four -lane Airport Boulevard from
its beginning at the Bayshore Highway to Beach Road, where Airport Boulevard transitions
to a two-lane facility in San Mateo County.
✓ STATUS UPDATE: This transition will be completed as a part of the Broadway
Interchange Construction Project.
Airport Boulevard Bicycle Lanes - It is recommended that continuous bicycle lanes be
installed along Airport Boulevard to provide continuous bicycle access through the Anza
Area.
✓ STATUS UPDATE: Bicycle lanes have been installed along Airport Boulevard between
Broadway and the Sanchez Channel bridge.
Bayshore Highway Median Reconstruction - Bayshore Highway is now a four -lane
roadway with median areas in some locations and continuous shared two-way left -turn
lanes in other areas. Similar to the recommended access plan for Airport Boulevard, an
improvement plan is recommended for Bayshore Highway, to determine the appropriate
locations of median breaks to serve existing and future development. As part of that plan,
the existing signals will need to be upgraded to provide for signal interconnect and
coordination. Where possible, the plan should provide opportunities for landscaping and
lighting within the median.
Local Roadway Signalization required with the Realignment of Broadway
Interchange - The reconstruction of the Broadway interchange will change the alignment
of the connecting roadways to "T" or full intersections where they connect with the
Broadway overpass. New signals will be required at these intersections.
✓ STATUS UPDATE: These local roadway signals will be completed as a part of the
Broadway Interchange Construction Project.
Broadway Interchange: It should be noted that the Rollins Road/Broadway/US 101
southbound off -ramp is now operating at a Level of Service "P' and will continue to do so
with plan implementation. The levels of service for the intersections at or near the
Burlingame Bayfront Specific Plan - Traffic & Circulation Page 32
Broadway interchange will continue to function at this level until the Broadway intersection
is reconstructed. There are long range plans to improve the Broadway interchange, but that
project has not yet been funded. It will be a priority project when funding for regional
projects becomes available. The project would also include changes to the surrounding
intersections, which should ease the congestion on the on-ramps.
✓ STATUS UPDATE: Broadway Interchange Construction Project is funded and
construction is underway.
There are also proposals to change the operation of Caltrain at the Broadway station (such
as relocation of the station platforms; fewer trains stopping at the station) which will lessen
the down-time for the Caltrain gates on Broadway. When the Broadway interchange project
is implemented, and when the proposed changes to the Broadway Caltrain station and/or
the changes in operation of Caltrain occur, the traffic circulation in this area will improve.
However, because of the short distance between intersections and the location of the
Caltrain tracks, it may not be possible to bring these intersections at either side of the
interchange to a level of Service C.
4. LAND USE DENSITIES AND TRAFFIC CONTROL
The updated traffic analyzer also looked at the proposed land uses and densities as outlined
in Chapter III. - Land Use of the Bayfront Specific Plan. The land use densities for each
subarea were selected based on the traffic generating characteristics of those uses. With the
land use densities identified in Chapter III, and the improvements outlined above, it is
expected that all intersections, except the Rollins Road/Broadway/US 101 southbound off-
ramp will continue to operate at acceptable levels of service after build-out of the plan.
The analyzer also looks at the way traffic trips are distributed as they come and go from the
area. These directions of approach and departure are determined using the traffic surveys
done in this area over the years. For instance, the hotel traffic comes predominately from
the north, to and from the airport. Office traffic, on the other hand, tends to come from
both the north and south, indicating more regional trips on U.S. 101 rather than local trips
from residential areas to the west. About 15 per cent of the restaurant trips were internal to
the Bayfront Area indicating that the restaurants serve the adjacent hotels and businesses.
Using all if this collected data, each land use and each subarea have been assigned a
specific "Capacity Consumption Rate" which assigns the new trips to the area's critical
intersections. Therefore, as each development proposal comes in, its traffic impacts
attributed to each intersection can be identified. In addition, this information will be used to
update the Bayfront Development Fee and to develop with the City a fair share allocation of
the costs for these public improvements. This will ensure that the circulation system
continues to provide acceptable levels of service. Chapter VII., Plan Implementation of the
Bayfront Specific Plan provides a discussion of the Bayfront Development Fee formula.

V. North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan -
Circulation and Infrastructure
On September 20, 2004, the Burlingame City Council, by Resolution No. 85-2004, adopted
the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan. The Specific Plan was amended by the
Burlingame City Council on February 5, 2007, by Resolution No. 13-2007. Following is
Chapter 5 of the Adopted Specific Plan — Circulation and Infrastructure.
1. ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
There are no intersection improvements needed to implement the North Burlingame/Rollins
Road Specific Plan, however, two roadway changes are proposed. They are not expected to
have an effect on roadway or intersection capacity and are discussed below.
New Connection between Rollins Road and Adrian Road — Part of the Specific Plan's
land use component suggests opportunity sites for new car dealerships on Adrian Road, just
west of U.S. 101. Existing access to this area fronting U.S. 101 is indirect via Adrian Road in
Millbrae or David Road from Rollins Road to the south. The two suggested sites would
provide increased visibility for these businesses locating there. To facilitate this visibility and
the accessibility of those sites, the Plan recommends that a road be constructed to improve
access to the auto dealerships from the Rollins Road area, by providing a more direct and
visible link to the potential auto dealership sites. The exact location of this road will be
determined as properties develop and opportunities arise. This new roadway connection is
not expected to have any effect on roadway capacity or operations.
Adjustment to EI Camino Real Cross-section — Within the project study area, EI Camino
Real is a six -lane facility with adjacent landscape berms and frontage roads. The North
Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan calls for adjusting this cross-section to remove the
frontage roads on either side of EI Camino Real. In its place, the Plan calls for phased
development of a more pedestrian -friendly land use along the corridor. This phasing
scenario is described in Chapter 3 of the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan. In
addition, the Plan calls for enhancement to pedestrian and bicycle facilities along EI Camino
Real, including wide sidewalks, streetscape improvements and on -street parking that would
improve pedestrian and bicycle circulation and safety. These improvements are not
expected to have an effect on traffic operations since, except for median strip
improvements, they will occur on City property adjacent to the Caltrans (State) right-of-
way. Three through traffic lanes in each direction should be maintained on EI Camino Real.
✓ STATUS UPDATE., Further study since the specific plan was adopted has shown that
this concept may be unworkable. The frontage roads are controlled by Caltrans, and in
some instances contain utilities. An alternative would be to design the frontage roads in
a multi -lane "boulevard" style, including on -street parking to serve businesses and wide
sidewalks to enhance the pedestrian environment.
2. STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
The North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan recommends the creation of cross-sectional
standards for EI Camino Real, Trousdale Drive, California Drive, Magnolia Avenue and Rollins
Road. These standards will help to define the ambience for future development in each area.
These street standards are limited to streetscape improvements, such as bicycle lanes,
wider sidewalks, street furniture and trees. These improvements should enhance the
North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan Page 34
Circulation and Infrastructure
pedestrian and bicycle environment without significantly compromising the capacity of the
roadway network.
EI Camino Real — The EI Camino Real cross-section, shown in Figure V-1, would be
reconfigured to clarify pedestrian and vehicular travel patterns and facilitate greater
pedestrian circulation in North Burlingame on land that is currently dedicated to service and
frontage roads. The reconfiguration would create a substantial amount of new developable
land that can then be used to develop street frontages that are primarily upper level
residential uses over ground -floor retail with office uses above.
New buildings would frame a more deliberate pedestrian friendly and memorable entry to
Burlingame. Figure V-2 shows an overlay of the proposed change superimposed over an
aerial photograph of the existing EI Camino Real to illustrate that there is essentially no
change to the existing travel lane configuration.
EI Camino Real would become a vibrant and pedestrian friendly retail corridor to serve local
residents. Parking lanes would be included to buffer pedestrians from traffic lanes. The
improvements will include street trees at regular intervals that will supplement the existing
Eucalyptus canopy and provide shade for pedestrian areas. Street lights, benches and other
furnishings would be part of the streetscape improvements. The improvements would foster
safer and more spatially defined pedestrian circulation routes along EI Camino Real and
strengthen connections between the Mills Peninsula Hospital, retail opportunities in
Burlingame Plaza and the Millbrae Intermodal station.
✓ STATUS UPDATE: Further study since the specific plan was adopted has shown that
this concept may be unworkable. The frontage roads are controlled by Caltrans, and in
some instances contain utilities. An alternative would be to design the frontage roads in
a multi -lane "boulevard" style, including on -street parking to serve businesses and wide
sidewalks to enhance the pedestrian environment.

Trousdale Drive
Trousdale Drive — Trousdale Drive is a busy four lane arterial, running east -west that
connects Interstate 280 with EI Camino Real and California Drive. Streetscape
improvements on Trousdale Drive, illustrated in Figures 5-3 and 5-6, can enhance the
pedestrian environment while also contributing to the reduction of vehicular speeds and the
creation of a generally safer environment for pedestrians. The concepts illustrated anticipate
a new entrance to Mills Peninsula Hospital on Trousdale Drive at Magnolia Avenue and
reconfiguration of travel lanes to accommodate the shifted hospital -related traffic.
Curb extensions at corners, or "bulb outs," at the intersection of Trousdale Drive and EI
Camino Real would help to reduce traffic speeds at this busy intersection while also creating
shorter crossing distances for pedestrians. The bulb out will delineate parking lanes, where
they exist, on Trousdale Drive. Tree wells will be cut into the existing ten foot sidewalks to
allow the planting of street trees at regular intervals. Pedestrian crosswalks would be added
at appropriate locations to facilitate greater and safer pedestrian use. Improvements will
include pedestrian -scaled street lighting. These amenities will also improve pedestrian
access to Mills Peninsula Hospital for people using BART and other public transit.

California Drive
California Drive — Traffic volumes on California Drive are likely to increase with the
continued operation of the Millbrae Intermodal Station and as transit patrons south of the
Specific Plan area use California Drive to access the station via the Millbrae Avenue
underpass. Improvements to the streetscape, shown in Figure V-5, and low fencing with
landscaping set back from the edge of the sidewalk along California Drive combined with
greater pedestrian activity that will result from new development on California Drive parcels,
will calm vehicular traffic and contribute to a safe and pleasant pedestrian environment
along this route. Bike lanes in both directions will allow for bicycle access from the transit
facility to parts of the Specific Plan Area, including the hospital west of EI Camino Real via
Murchison Drive or Trousdale Drive.
✓ STATUS UPDATE; Although bike lanes have not been installed, bicycle route signage
and "sharrow" street markings have been added to California Drive to allow for bicycle
access to the Millbrae Intermodal Station and as a north -south connection through
Burlingame.
Magnolia Avenue — Magnolia Avenue is a very wide street laid over a 60 -foot wide San
Francisco Water District easement. With the completion of the replacement hospital,
Magnolia will complete the intersection at the main entrance to the hospital. Magnolia
connects Trousdale Drive to Murchison Drive and provides the primary service access for
some of the retail establishments at the back of Burlingame Plaza and to the shops which
face EI Camino Real. The service entries at the rear of the businesses facing EI Camino
share the Magnolia Avenue street facade with the front doors of many other businesses.
Curb bulb outs could be added on Magnolia Avenue at the intersection with Trousdale Drive
to improve pedestrian access and safety. The bulbouts would narrow the perceived width of
travel lanes and contribute to the reduction of traffic speeds. The bulb outs would also
reduce pedestrian crossing distances. The current configuration of parallel parking on the
west side and a mixture of parallel and diagonal parking on the east side are proposed to
remain.
North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan Page 39
Circulation and Infrastructure
To break up the street parking visually, street tree bulb outs could be added at regular
intervals on the west side and tree wells could be cut into the existing walk on the eastern
side to avoid a conflict with the underground water main. Improvements will also include
pedestrian scale street lights and additional crosswalks at convenient locations.

Rollins Road Gateway — The gateway, illustrated in the conceptual sketches in Figures V-

shoulders of the EI Portal Channel bridge the gateway will provide pedestrian seating areas,
entry signage and landscape elements. Improvements will include the refurbishments of the
bridge to include pilasters and upgraded security fencing and railings.

Rollins Road — Improvements to Rollins Road, which are illustrated in Figures V-10 and V-
11, will include the installation of street trees in tree wells cut into the existing sidewalks. At
locations where the street trees are to be planted, the sidewalk will be reconstructed around
the tree locations. The goal of this street tree program is to calm traffic by narrowing the
perceived street width, which can cause drivers to reduce their speed. Therefore, it is
advantageous for the street trees to be as close to the travel lanes as possible. Rollins Road
is also a designated bicycle route in Burlingame's adopted Bicycle Transportation plan.
Bicycle lanes have been installed along Rollins Road within the Plan area.
Additionally, a significant goal of the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan is the
creation of a more aesthetically pleasing environment on Rollins Road, and the addition of
street trees will help to accomplish that goal. The trees will also shade large areas of the
Rollins Road pavement, reducing temperature and glare. The width of the City -owned right-
of-way on Rollins Road differs on either side of Easton Creek. South of Easton Creek, the
right-of-way is 75 feet, with a sidewalk of approximately 5 feet on either side. North of
Easton Creek, the right-of-way is 84 feet, including approximately 5 feet between the back
of the sidewalk and the property line. Therefore, as shown in Figures 5-10 and 5-11,
construction of the tree wells and realigned sidewalks in the section of Rollins Road below
Easton Creek will require the City to acquire an easement from property owners.
Construction of this street tree program in this more constrained section of Rollins Road
may be limited by other improvements on these properties and will need to be reviewed on
a parcel by parcel basis.

Street Tree Recommendations — Street trees are recommended with the goal of creating
a transition in scale between roadways and adjacent land uses as well as to provide a
comfortable pedestrian realm. Trees were chosen based on their long term appeal, however,
as with any tree species the interim look and growth pattern of the tree is dependent on the
City of Burlingame's tree maintenance program. It is suggested that at the time of planting,
steps to increase the future heath of the tree be taken. These efforts include proper soil
amendment to reduce soil compaction and water tubes to induce deep root growth. It
should be expected that during periods of a tree's normal growth it will encroach on a
roadway. The pruning of trees in order to avoid conflicts with roadways will be necessary
during these initial periods of growth. Trees should be pruned to minimize this impact and
with the future appearance of the tree in mind.
Table V-1 indicates the recommended street trees to be used for streetscape improvements
in the Specific Plan Area. Most trees are listed in the City of Burlingame's Planning
Department Tree List. The Accolade Elm has been considered as a replacement tree for
sections of EI Camino Real south of the Plan Area. It is very similar to Elm trees that were
historically planted on EI Camino Real and is one of the best Elm species for resisting the
attack of Dutch Elm disease.

3. PEDESTRIAN NETWORK
In the Rollins Road area, a creekside open space and pedestrian trail system would provide
amenities and pedestrian and bike facilities for area businesses as well as recreation
opportunities Rollins Road workers and Burlingame residents. These open space areas,
combined with streetscape improvements on Rollins Road, will facilitate safer and more
attractive non -vehicular connections between Rollins Road employment destinations and
transit opportunities to the north in Millbrae and to the south on Broadway. The proposed
network is shown in Figure V-12 and a conceptual illustration of these creekside areas is
shown in Figure V-13.
The gradual development of a trail network will occur over time as opportunities arise to
acquire access by purchase or gift. Except where necessary to mitigate impacts of a
particular project, no conveyance of public access rights is intended to be imposed on
projects in the area.

4. PARKING
As shown in the design guidelines in Chapter 6, on-site parking throughout the Specific Plan
area should be encouraged to be located behind buildings in order to adequately define the
pedestrian realm and create safe and aesthetically -pleasing environments on Burlingame
sidewalks and streets. However, on parcels with lot frontage on EI Camino Real at grade
parking visible or accessed from EI Camino should be discouraged. This parking will be
supplemented by on -street parking, including some portions of EI Camino Real, on which
parallel curb parking should be provided as part of its redesign.

VI. Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan -
Circulation and Parking
On October 4, 2010, the Burlingame City Council, by Resolution No. 73-2010, adopted the
Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan. Following is Chapter 7 of the Adopted Specific Plan -
Circulation and Parking.
1. RECOMMENDED ROADWAY NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS
The Downtown Specific Plan includes a series of roadway projects intended to either
mitigate existing or anticipated traffic conditions, or otherwise satisfy urban design
objectives for streetscapes, pedestrian and bicycle access and open space.
Existing Roadway Network - Regional access to Downtown Burlingame is provided via
Highway 101 freeway. The closest interchanges with the freeway are located at Peninsula
Avenue (southern edge of the plan area) and at Broadway (north of the plan area). The
Peninsula interchange provides access in the northbound direction only, while the Broadway
interchange provides access for both northbound and southbound traffic. A system of major
arterials accommodates the longer distance local trips and connects Burlingame with
adjacent communities. These include EI Camino Real (State Highway 82) and California
Drive providing north -south access. Other major arterials include Peninsula Avenue and Oak
Grove Avenue. These arterials carry the major volume of east -west trips and connect with
State highways and freeways. The other elements of the street system are secondary
arterials, such as Howard Avenue, that connect collector and local access streets to the
major arterials. Collector streets feed traffic to the arterials and major centers of activity in
Burlingame.
Based on existing travel patterns, the majority of project -traffic would occur along California
Drive heading towards Burlingame Avenue and Howard Avenue from the north and south.
Additional project -traffic would occur along Howard Avenue, Burlingame Avenue, and
Peninsula Avenue, and Primrose Road.
Traffic bound for downtown on EI Camino Real is expected to exit from EI Camino Real at
the first opportunity and utilize the east -west collector roadways. As such, traffic not bound
for downtown will likely bypass and continue traveling along EI Camino Real, while the
majority of downtown -related traffic will likely enter via Park Road, Primrose Road,
Bayswater Avenue, Howard Avenue, and Burlingame Avenue. In addition, on- and off-street
parking facilities are primarily located along these local roadways, which would attract
patrons to exit EI Camino Real to access the parking.
Downtown Specific Plan - Circulation & Parking Page 47
Considering location and types of development projected in the plan, traffic generated by
future downtown development is expected to primarily affect the following intersections:
• EI Camino Real/Howard Ave • California Dr/Lorton Ave
• Burlingame Ave/Park Rd • EI Camino Real/Peninsula Ave/Park Rd
• Primrose Rd/Chapin Ave • California Dr/Peninsula Ave
• Primrose Rd/Bellevue Ave • California Dr/Howard Ave/Highland Ave
• Primrose Rd/Douglas Ave
Traffic mitigation measures, such as signalization and signal timing adjustments have been
proposed in order to reduce potential impacts to these intersections. Traffic calming could
also be implemented in surrounding neighborhoods if necessary to address cut -through
traffic.
California Drive/Lorton Avenue Intersection - The California Drive/Lorton intersection
needs improvement, regardless of possible future development. The unconventional layout
of the intersection is inefficient, and is confusing for both vehicles and pedestrians.
The Downtown Specific Plan includes two alternative reconfigurations for the California
Drive/Lorton Avenue intersection. Both would be acceptable choices for improving vehicle
and pedestrian circulation through the intersection, and both could accommodate traffic
from anticipated future development as described in this specific plan.
Option 1: Signalized Intersection
Option 1 would refine the current configuration with a more straightforward intersection
design, and the addition of a traffic signal. With this improvement, the intersection will have
an improved level of service and reduce vehicle delays significantly. The intersection could
also be configured to create a small usable open space, as described in Chapter 4:
Streetscapes and Open Space of the Downtown Specific Plan.
Option 2: Roundabout
City engineering staff has been actively studying the possibility of a roundabout design to
mitigate existing and future traffic conditions. This would improve traffic safety and act as a
traffic calming measure. In addition, the traffic circle at the center of the roundabout would
have attractive landscaping and could have a prominent design element such as flowers or a
monument, as described in Chapter 4: Streetscapes & Open Space of the Downtown
Specific Plan. Traffic would enter the roundabout and circulate one-way around a center
circular island, typically in a counterclockwise direction. On California Drive, travel lanes
would be reduced from two lanes to one lane at the roundabout entrance in order to allow
orderly traffic flow into the circle. Crosswalks would extend around the outer circle of the
roundabout, with refuge islands at intermediate positions.
Downtown Specific Plan - Circulation & Parking Page 48
Civic Center Circle - The intersection of Primrose Road,
Bellevue Avenue and Douglas Avenue between the Library
and City Hall currently is complex, inefficient, and confusing.
The existing divided traffic islands could be replaced with a
single traffic circle, with crosswalks connecting each corner
of the streets leading to the circle. The circle could provide a
small open space, as described in Chapter 4: Streetscapes
and Open Space. This reconfiguration would improve the
function of the intersection and provide an additional open
space amenity.
Highland Avenue - The last block of Highland Avenue
between California Drive and Howard Avenue is a one-way
street and primarily serves to provide access and parking to
the businesses fronting the street, and also provides a short-
cut for vehicles turning right from southbound California
Drive onto Howard Avenue. Even with this short-cut
function, however, there are minimal traffic volumes along
this block during the peak hours.
Given the limited function of the street segment and its
potential to complicate traffic patterns, there could be
justification for narrowing or closing the street segment to
improve the streetscape and increase the size of the
adjoining open space. Depending on the mix of businesses
alongside, closing the street and replacing it with open space
frontage could either be an asset to the businesses or be
detrimental. Uses such as restaurants may appreciate
frontage on an open space, but retailers may value the
proximity of parking and access more than open space.
Since the majority of traffic would travel through on
California Drive and would not turn onto Highland Avenue,
the closure or narrowing of the roadway would not impact
the traffic operations at the California Drive/Howard Avenue
intersection.
Narrowing the segment and redesigning it to create a more
unified composition with the adjoining open space could be a
satisfactory option that would retain traffic circulation and
parking, but be more oriented to the adjacent businesses
rather than to traffic making a short-cut to Howard Avenue.
The street could be redesigned with a "flexible zone" where
the parking area and traffic lane would be shared by
pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles. This concept would
involve special paving and flush integrated curbs, a greater
number of trees, street furniture, and bicycle parking. The
intention would be to create a more seamless transition
between the street area and the open space area.

Downtown Specific Plan - Circulation & Parking Page 49
California Drive Reconfiguration — A concept that merits further study beyond the scope
of the Downtown Specific Plan would be to reconfigure the California Drive traffic lanes to
better serve traffic flow and accommodate bicycles. Currently California Drive has two traffic
lanes in each direction, but due to the large number of turns in center lanes, the center
lanes effectively do not function for through traffic. A reconfiguration could have one clear,
through traffic lane in each direction, together with a center median/turn lane to
accommodate turns. The traffic lanes would remain clear of obstructions so traffic flow
would be steady (but calm), while turns would be accommodated separately from the
through traffic. The redesign would provide enough room for generous bicycle lanes on each
side, so California Drive would become a convenient and effective bicycle route through
Burlingame and to Downtown. Existing on -street parking would also be accommodated.
This approach, sometimes referred to as a "road diet," has been demonstrated to be very
effective elsewhere in the Bay Area on streets with comparable traffic volumes and
characteristics to California Drive. Further study would need to consider impacts along the
length of California Drive to ensure that traffic does not spill into adjacent neighborhoods.
However, with the functional and aesthetic improvements, the expectation would be that
California Drive would become a preferred access route into Downtown, as well as between
Downtown and the Broadway commercial district.
Currently California drive has two traffic
lanes in each direction, but due to the large
number of turns in center lanes, the center
lanes do not function for through traffic.
Reconfigured California Drive with one travel
lane in each direction, center median/turn

EI Camino Real/Peninsula Avenue/Park Road Signalization — Traffic analysis has
projected that the EI Camino Real/Peninsula Avenue/Park Road intersection could
experience a potentially significant reduction in level of service depending on amount of
downtown development in the future. However, even with a relatively high level of
development in the future, these impacts could be reduced with changes to the traffic signal
timing. By increasing the signal green time by ten seconds in the Peninsula Avenue
westbound approach and Park Road southwest approach, and removing ten seconds of
green signal time in the northbound and southbound EI Camino Real approaches, the
potential impacts would be reduced to less -than -significant levels.
California Drive/Howard Avenue Signalization — Traffic analysis has projected that the
California Drive/Howard Avenue intersection could experience a potentially significant
reduction in level of service depending on amount of downtown development in the future.
However, even with a relatively high level of development in the future, these impacts could
be reduced with changes to the traffic signal timing. By increasing the signal green time by
five seconds in the California Drive northbound and southbound directions and removing
five seconds of green signal time in the Howard Avenue eastbound and westbound
approaches, the potential impacts would be reduced to less -than -significant levels.
2. TRANSIT
The following discussion includes descriptions of each transit service provider that serves
Downtown Burlingame. System -level ridership, performance measures, and planned transit
improvements specific to transit stations and stops in Burlingame are further reviewed.
Caltrain - Caltrain provides local and
commuter train service between San
Francisco and San Jose, with weekday
commute -hour service to Gilroy. The main
objectives of the Caltrain Short Range
Transportation Plan (2008) included
addressing station needs, coordinating
service with connecting transit operators
throughout the Bay Area, improving station
access for all passengers, and enhancing
system performance. Over the long-term,
Caltrain patronage has risen and is
anticipated to continue to do so. Station
improvements were completed at the
Burlingame station to allow trains traveling in
opposing directions to serve the same station
simultaneously without incurring delay.
Appropriate fencing has also been installed at
the station.
The Downtown Specific Plan encourages more
intensive development in many of the blocks
close to the Caltrain station, which should
allow more people to take advantage of the
train for some of their transportation needs.
Compared to other Caltrain stations, passenger boardings and capacity utilization rates at
the Burlingame Station are relatively moderate -to -low. However, the land use plan for the
Downtown Specific Plan encourages more intensive development in many of the blocks
within close proximity to the train station, which should allow more people to take
advantage of the train for some of their transportation needs. The plan encourages more
frequent stops at the Burlingame Avenue station to encourage ridership and capitalize on
more intensive development downtown near the train station.
Downtown Specific Plan — Circulation & Parking Page 51
provides access to Downtown Burlingame
from the City's bayfront hotel area east of
the Bayshore Freeway.
Key samlrans improvements relative to
Downtown Burlingame include
prioritization of service improvements in
areas where high density and mixed-use
developments are provided.
Burlingame Downtown Shuttle - This local
service provides access to Downtown
Burlingame from the City's bayfront hotel area
east of the Bayshore Freeway. There is a
scheduled stop downtown at the Burlingame
Caltrain Station. If there is further
development in the bayfront area in the
future, there may be potential to expand the
patronage and extent of service of the shuttle.
This could be a benefit to downtown
businesses with additional customers, as well
as downtown residents who could use the
shuttle to access bayfront recreational
facilities.
SamTrans - SamTrans provides bus service
throughout San Mateo County as well as to
San Francisco and Palo Alto. There are several
major transit routes which have stops in the
Downtown area, on EI Camino Real and
California Drive, with connections to Caltrain
and to the Millbrae BART station. Based on
SamTrans Short Range Transportation Plan
(SRTP), there are several planned
improvements to enhance system
performance, increase ridership, and improve
accessibility. Key improvements relative to
Downtown Burlingame include prioritization of
service improvements in areas where high
density and mixed-use developments are
provided.
In addition, the SRTP states that transit
service along EI Camino Real experiences
significant demand and SamTrans has
therefore added an express bus service along
the corridor. The land use plan for the
Downtown Specific Plan encourages more
intensive development in many of the blocks
close to EI Camino Real, which should help
increase transit demand along the corridor.
In order to increase intercity transit use, and
to accommodate the growing aging
population, Samtrans plans to increase the
use of community-based shuttles throughout
the transit network.
Downtown Specific Plan - Circulation & Parking Page 52
California High Speed Rail —The California High -Speed Rail (CHSR) is a rail line in the
planning stages that will provide a high-speed link between San Francisco and Los Angeles,
as well as a number of other key destinations. Though the CHSR will not stop in Burlingame,
the proposed corridor for the project runs north -south through the city along the existing
Caltrain right-of-way.
Given that the CHSR alignment is proposed to pass through Burlingame and its downtown,
there is concern over the potential for the rail line to create a physical barrier through the
city if it involves bridging, elevated tracks, or the use of retaining walls. Like other peninsula
cities, Burlingame has indicated a preference for having the rail line in an underground
tunnel rather than at surface or above grade Having the line underground would be more
compatible with the continued economic vitality and quality of life of Burlingame and its
downtown. It would also be more compatible with the preservation of valuable historic
resources such as the eucalyptus grove and the Burlingame Avenue and Broadway train
stations. If all rail lines are accommodated underground along the length of the peninsula
alignment, it will enable dozens of surface crossings to be relieved of train conflicts, thereby
easing access at many scales and reducing congestion throughout the peninsula.
While the CHSR is beyond the scope of the Downtown Specific Plan, the project will have an
important impact on Downtown Burlingame. It is essential that the CHSR planning process
thoroughly investigate and mitigate impacts on Caltrain service, utilities, and effects that
may concern schools, residents, and businesses.
3. PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
Most of Downtown Burlingame is highly
pedestrian -oriented and has a high amount
of pedestrian traffic. Pedestrian activity is
primarily the result of the amount of retail,
office, and restaurant land uses in the heart
of Downtown, as well as the proximity to
surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Increasing pedestrian convenience and
safety is an objective in Downtown
Burlingame, and several actions are
proposed to improve pedestrian conditions.
These include implementing traffic -calming
measures (mid -block crossings, traffic
circles, paving variations), increasing
sidewalk "linkages" to improve connectivity
to and within downtown, and widening
sidewalks. These measures are more
thoroughly described in Chapter 4:
Streetscapes and Open Spaces of the
Downtown Specific Plan. Overall, these
measures would improve pedestrian safety
and encourage residents and visitors to
patronize Downtown Burlingame.
Increasing pedestrian convenience and safety is
an objective in Downtown Burlingame.
Downtown Specific Plan — Circulation & Parking Page 53
4. BICYCLES
An objective of the Downtown Specific
Plan is for bicycles to be a viable choice
for getting to downtown. Safety, ease of
access, and parking must all be carefully
considered so that people are able to
consider bicycling as an appealing and
realistic means of transportation. If people
are able to swap automobile trips for
bicycle trips, not only would there be
environmental advantages in terms of
reduced greenhouse emissions, but there
would be less of a need for the City to
provide additional, costly parking facilities
for autos over the long-term.
Bicycles can be a viable choice for getting to
and around downtown.
Bicycle Routes - Bicycle routes in Downtown Burlingame include:
• Primrose Road - from Oak Grove Avenue (north) to Howard Avenue (south).
• Highland Avenue - from Howard Avenue (north) to Peninsula Avenue (south) and
continues south of Peninsula Avenue.
• California Drive - from Burlingame City Limits (north) to Howard Avenue (south).
Within Downtown, this route intersects with Burlingame Avenue.
• Howard Avenue - from Humboldt Road (east) to Occidental Avenue (west). Within
Downtown, this route intersects with EI Camino Real, Primrose Road, Park Road,
Lorton Avenue, and Highland Avenue. Howard Avenue also includes a bicycle lane.
If California Drive is reconfigured as described in Section A, it offers the potential to be a
significant bicycle route into Downtown from neighborhoods to the north, south, and east.
Cyclists can then access Howard Avenue to reach the side streets, and the side streets to
reach the center of the downtown district. As streetscape improvements are implemented
along Howard Avenue and the side streets, accommodations for bicycles should be a key
design consideration. Lanes should provide adequate clearances, and intersections should
be designed to minimize automobile and bicycle conflicts. Side streets can be designed and
clearly signed as "sharrows" where it is clear that the roadway are to be shared by bicycles
and automobiles, and to alert motorists of the presence of bicycles.
Downtown Specific Plan - Circulation & Parking Page 54
Bicycle Strategies and Guidelines
The desirability and effectiveness of bicycles to
serve Downtown can be improved with the
following enhancements:
Short -Term Parking - Public Bike Racks:
Individual bike racks are part of a two-tier bicycle
parking strategy for Downtown. Generally, bike
racks are useful for short-term parking (from a
few minutes to a few hours), and should be
provided throughout the redesigned streetscapes
to be convenient to businesses and attractions.
Figure 7-1 shows existing locations of bike racks
throughout Downtown.
Long -Term Parking - Central Bike Parking
Facility. A centrally -located, convenient, and
highly visible facility should be established for
longer visits downtown (from a few hours to a full
day or work shift). As opposed to sidewalk bike
racks, which are provided for short-term
convenience, the central facility would appeal to
those wanting to store their bicycles for a longer
period of time. The concept would be that
someone cycling to Downtown could proceed
directly to the central parking facility with
knowledge that they would be able to find
convenient and secure longer term parking.
Ideally, the parking facility would offer some
protection from weather, and could offer a choice
of racks and electronic lockers.
The facility should be located in a visible, central
location so that it serves as a social hub and
offers a measure of security. Initially the facility
could be established in one of the central public
parking lots, and over time could grow and be
located in the Lot E signature open space, or in a
nearby parking lot or structure.
the presence of bicycles where there is
not sufficient space for a dedicated bike
lane.
throughout downtown are useful for
convenient, short-term parking,
Downtown Specific Plan - Circulation & Parking Page 55
Downtown Specific Plan Circulation and Parking Page 56
Bicycle Accommodations in New Developments: New development should provide safe,
secure facilities for bicycles. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, depending on
the type of development. Where possible, secured, indoor parking space (i.e. lockable,
caged space) for bikes should be provided in all new residential and commercial buildings.
New projects should include bike stalls to allow users the opportunity to securely store their
bicycles. These can include racks or hooks on walls in front of parking spaces in residential
buildings, and designated and secure bicycle storage areas in commercial buildings.
Modest locker facilities in new, larger Commercial/Mixed Use projects should also be
provided. Lockers should be sufficient to store helmets and other necessary equipment.
A centrally -located bicycle parking facility
would be intended for protected long-term
parking and also serve as a social hub.
Downtown Specific Plan Circulation and Parking Page 57

Downtown Specific Plan Circulation and Parking Page 58
S. PARKING
This section outlines the parking supply plan for the Downtown Burlingame municipal
facilities. It is expected that the parking supply for future development will be met by a
combination of on-site parking and an enhancement of the existing public parking facilities
in the Downtown area. Parking requirements for development are outlined in Chapter 3:
Land Use of the Downtown Specific Plan. Generally, retail, restaurant and personal service
uses on the ground floor are exempt from parking requirements within the Downtown
Parking Sector. For commercial uses that are required to provide parking (upper floors
within the Parking Sector, and all floors outside the Parking Sector) requirements can either
be met on-site or through payment of an in -lieu fee. In -lieu fees will be used to build
structured parking at existing public parking lots in the Downtown areas.
Shared Parking Concept
The vision for Downtown Burlingame is a mix of uses. A mix of uses, as opposed to a
predominance of a single use, has positive implications on parking demand. For example,
retail land uses tend to experience peak hour parking demand between 3:00 PM and 4:00
PM during the weekday and between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM during the weekend. Office land
uses experience 100 percent parking occupancy between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM during
the weekday, but very little demand on weekends. Hotel uses experience peak parking
demand between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM during the weekday and weekend. Residential uses
experience peak hour parking demand between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM during the weekday
and weekend.
As a result of the different times of peak parking demand by these complementary uses,
demand is overlapping rather than additive. Thus less parking is required. The ability for
different uses to share the common parking areas at different times of day reduces the
overall parking demand. However, as Downtown grows, there will be near-term and longer-
term parking needs to accommodate.
The Downtown Specific Plan recognizes the opportunities for shared parking. For projects
with off-street parking included on site, different uses with different peak demands can
utilize the same parking spaces at different times of day, allowing fewer parking spaces
than if each use were fully parked. The parking standards outlined in Chapter 3: Land Use of
the Downtown Specific Plan include provisions to reduce on-site parking when the mix of
uses is complementary and can share parking spaces.
The municipal lots also benefit from the shared nature of parking, on a larger scale. The
ratios for off-site parking (whether exempt or provided through an in -lieu arrangement)
account for the different peak demands for different uses, as well as the ability for patrons
to visit more than one use without re -parking. Over the long term, the overlapping demands
of different uses and the ability to share the same spaces in the municipal facilities will
require fewer new public parking facilities than if each use had its own designated parking.
Make Better Use of Existing Parking Facilities
Downtown Burlingame consists of 20 City -owned off-street parking facilities as well as
metered on -street parking located on most local roadways (as shown in Figure 7-2). While
parking can be tight in some areas of Downtown (particularly near active shopping and
dining areas), as a whole there is available parking supply that can be better utilized to
serve near-term needs.
Downtown Specific Plan Circulation and Parking Page 59
In order to make best use of existing facilities to serve current and near-term demand,
strategies can include adjusting parking pricing and time restrictions, implementing
valet/attended parking operations, modifying parking enforcement strategies, implementing
parking permits for residents/employees, introducing a car -share arrangement, and
improving wayfinding and signage for parking facilities. Many of these measures have been
implemented in the past with success, and could continue to be adjusted for further
optimization of existing resources.
Expand Parking Facilities
As Downtown grows, there may be upper limits to how much optimization can be gained
from the existing parking facilities. In order to accommodate some of the demand from new
development (since some will be met on-site), as well as to be able to provide amenities
such as the signature open space proposed for Lot E, one or more parking structures may
be necessary.
Several studies have been completed to determine which city -owned parking lots could
most efficiently accommodate parking structures, and there are several options available. A
couple of choices are discussed below, although the final decisions should be made when
funding is available based on development patterns and projections at that time.
Lot J
Because it is one of the larger lots, Lot J has been recommended for structured parking by
the city's parking consultants. This location makes sense because it is centrally located, and
because a structure on Lot J could most easily provide the parking that will be needed to
compensate for the loss of Lot E, when it is converted to community open space. In fact,
constructing a parking structure on Lot J and creating a new open space on Lot E should be
thought of as one project with two phases, the first being the construction of the parking
structure. While Lot J is closed during construction, downtown Burlingame would lose 69
parking spaces. However, there is sufficient capacity in Lots L, W and C to temporarily make
up for this loss.
Lots A and A-3
Another potential site for a parking structure is to combine Lots A and A-3 along Donnelly
Avenue, and add an additional story on to the combined structure. At least half of Lot A
should be usable during construction, and the other spaces lost during construction can be
accommodated through existing capacity in Lots C, O, V, M, J, and L.
Howard Avenue Focus Area
The Downtown Specific Plan provides incentives to encourage new mixed use development
along the Howard Avenue. Similar to the parking requirements that have been in place
along Burlingame Avenue, the Specific Plan would exempt ground floor retail, personal
service and restaurant uses on Howard Avenue from on-site parking requirements, and
would allow parking for upper floor commercial uses to be provided off-site through an in -
lieu fee arrangement.
Howard Avenue has on -street parking along its length, and there are four off-street parking
facilities in the vicinity. Lots F and N have traditionally experienced high parking demand
during the weekday peak, whereas Lots G and W have experienced more moderate demand
during the weekday peak and could absorb the additional parking demand associated with
new development. During the weekend peak, all four lots have traditionally been
underutilized, so the additional parking demand associated with new development could be
Downtown Specific Plan Circulation and Parking Page 60
accommodated. If all residential parking is provided on-site, anticipated parking demand
along Howard Avenue can be fully accommodated within existing parking lots.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments
As development occurs in the downtown area, parking and circulation should be regularly
monitored so that adjustments can be made to city regulations and/or facilities as
necessary.
Downtown Specific Plan Circulation and Parking Page 61
VI. Next Steps
Begininning in early 2015 the community will be embarking on a comprehensive update of
the General Plan. This will provide an opportunity to consider circulation and transportation
issues in context with any changes to land use and other elements of the General Plan. Any
changes to circulation and transportation policies will be incorporated into the full General
Plan update.

An integrated system is proposed including the Present Southern Pacific Railroad (primarily
fefincluding both passenger service and through movement of freight), a rapid tFansit lipe

highways. The street and highway system would accommodate private passenger automobiles,
trucks and local transit vehicles. The integrated system is proposed to include all modes of
travel including walking bicycling and transit allowing users of all ages and abilities to reach
destinations in the community and region safelv and directly.

from proximity to public transit and to the Complete Streets amenities
STREETS AND HIGHWAYS
Bayshore Freeway (Highway 101) and Junipero Freeway (280 Freeway) are recognized in the
plan. The main proposals affecting the freeways are additions and improvements to the
interchanges at Millbrae Avenue, Broadway, and Peninsula Avenue to provide for full directional
movement at each of these interchanges and to accommodate the increasing volumes of traffic

that will be generated, particularly from the industrial areas. The Millbrae Avenue and
Peninsula Interchange improvements have been completed and the Broadway interchange
oroiect began construction in 2014 These interchange improvements include facilities for
bicycles and pedestrians using the overcrossings of US 101
A system of major arterials is proposed to take care of longer distance local trips and to
connect Burlingame with adjacent communities. These include EI Camino Real (a State
highway), California Drive, and Bayshore Highway and its extension through the Anza Pacific
development (Airport Boulevard) for major north -south movements. The latter route would
connect with the San Francisco Airport on the north and with the major street system in the
City of San Mateo on the south.

Airport Boulevard has
been completed to orovide through traffic in the Bayfront area and a Bayfront trail system has
been developed adjacent to Bayside Park to provide pedestrian and bicycle travel through this
area. In addition, bicycle lanes were recently added to Airport Boulevard Other major arterials
include Millbrae Avenue (in the City of Millbrae), Trousdale Drive, Carmelita Avenue from EI
Camino Real to California Drive, and
railFead,Oak Grove Avenue and Peninsula Avenue. These arterials would carry the major
volume of east -west trips and connect with State highways and freeways.
The other elements of the street system are secondary arterials connecting collector and local
access streets to the major arterials, and collector streets to feed traffic to the arterials and
major centers of activity in Burlingame. The systems of streets proposed around the Broadway
shopping center and the Burlingame Avenue shopping center are of particular importance.
These are intended to provide movement around the centers, connect to parking lots, and
permit the central portions of these shopping centers to be fFeed all OF +AerAprovide for
limited vehicular traffic and turned over primarily to pedestrians.
GRADE SEPARATION STRUCTURES
Railroad grade separations are recommended at Broadway, Oak Grove, Howard, and Peninsula
Avenues. A highway overpass is needed across Bayshore Freeway to connect Millsdale and
East Millsdale Industrial areas. (See also proposals under the heading, Broadway-Bayshore
Interchange Area.)
FeeemmeRded `e eeFineetA bicycle pedestrian overcrossing of Highway 101 has been
constructed adjacent to the Broadway interchange to provide access to Bayside Park from the

PARKWAY
In addition to the other elements of the circulation system, it is recommended that a parkway
be established along the Bayfront connecting Burlingame's Bayside Park with San Mateo
County's Coyote Point Park.
Provisions for the wateFfFe4Bayfront trail system are included in
the Bayfront Specific Plan, using the Bay Conservation and Development Commission Plan as a
guide. Portions of the trail have been developed in conjunction with development projects
alono the Bay shoreline. However, there are gaps in the trail system that will only be
completed when the remaining properties with Bay frontage are developed.
BROADWAY-BAYSHORE INTERCHANGE AREA
Current Circulation Element Page 3
Major changes are needed in the circulation system around the Bayshore-Broadway
interchange and the proposed grade separation at Broadway and the railroad. The changes
should be designed to:
1. Reduce the congestion at the present intersection at Rollins Road and Broadway by
providing other means of access to Millsdale and by reducing points of conflict.
2. Provide as much flexibility as possible so that future changes in travel patterns can be
accommodated within the system.
3. Provide alternative routes of travel so that individual drivers have some options to
permit them to avoid points of congestion. (Traffic Flow tends to be somewhat self-
adjusting where alternative paths of travel are available.)
4. Increase capacity throughout the Broadway-Bayshore Area by reducing conflicts
through traffic control measures, providing added lanes at critical points, and grade
separating turning movements wherever feasible.
More specific proposals are:
1. Grade separate Broadway and the Southern Pacific Railroad.
2. Provide two completely new links to permit some traffic to avoid the Broadway -Rollins
Road intersection. One of these should connect the Millsdale and East Millsdale
Industrial areas with an overpass on Bayshore Freeway. The other link proposed is a
new street southeast of Cadillac Way extending from Bayshore Boulevard to Carolan
Avenue. This new street should be obtained when the presently vacant land is
developed.
3. On Bayshore Freeway, move the entrance to the southbound off -ramp as far north as
possible and provide connections to Marsten Road, Broadway and Cadillac Way.
Many of these issues will be resolved by the construction of the Broadway Interchange The
improvements at the interchange are expected to increase the capacity of the

Broadway Zoning Amendments February Z 2015
BACKGROUND
In response to information received at the Broadway Community Meeting held on October 18,
2014 and information received via an on-line survey prior to the meeting, on December 1, 2014
the City Council directed staff to proceed with preparation of amendments to the land -use
restrictions applicable to the Broadway Commercial District, lifting the limitation on the number of
food establishments allowed within the district and eliminating the requirement for approval of a
conditional use permit for health service uses located in tenant spaces above street level within
the District.
DISCUSSION
To help promote the vitality of the Broadway Commercial District, amendments to the zoning
regulations have been prepared that eliminate the limitations on number of food establishments in
the District and eliminate the requirement for a conditional use permit for health service uses
located above the ground floor. The zoning code definition of food establishments includes bars,
full service restaurants, limited food service restaurants, and specialty food shops. Health
services are defined as an office, clinic, laboratory or other facility engaged in furnishing medical,
surgical or other services including a physician, dentist, dental technician, chiropractor,
acupressurist, acupuncturist, therapist, counselor other similar occupation.
Current C-1 (Broadway Commercial Area) Zoning Restrictions: The C-1 zoning district
regulations (C.S. 25.30) contain specific provisions that apply only to the Broadway Commercial
Area (C.S. 25.30.065 and 25.30.070). Currently the zoning limits both the number and location of
food establishments in the Broadway Commercial Area based upon the City Council approval of
the Broadway food establishments in October 1999. In all other C-1 zoned areas, the code allows
food establishment by right as a permitted use. In the Broadway Commercial Area health services
are only allowed above the first floor with a Conditional Use Permit. In all other C-1 zoned areas,
the code requires a Conditional Use Permit for health services on all levels.
Proposed C-1 (Broadway Commercial Area) Zoning Changes: The proposed amendment to the
C-1 zoning regulations removes the restrictions on the number of food establishments allowed in
the Broadway Commercial area. This change would remove all limits on the type and location of
food establishments in the Broadway Commercial Area by eliminating C.S. 25.30.070 in its
entirety. Food establishments would then be allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit at
any location within the District.
Further, an amendment eliminating the Conditional Use Permit requirement (C.S.
25.30.065(b)(2)) for health service uses above the ground floor in the Broadway Commercial
District, therefore permitting such uses by right above the first floor, is included in the proposed
ordinance. Health services would continue to be prohibited on the ground floor. In all other C-1
zoned areas, health services would continue to require a Conditional Use Permit for all locations.
Parking Standards: The Zoning Ordinance imposes different parking requirements for each land
use, so a change in land use could possibly be subject to an additional parking requirement (for
example, retail stores require 1 space for each 400 sq. ft. of gross floor area, while bars and
2
, Broadway Zoning Amendments
February 2, 2015
restaurants require 1 space for each 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area.). Whether or not a particular
property would be subject to an additional parking requirement would depend on the specific uses
and characteristics of the property.
Staff has worked with the parking and traffic consultant for the General Plan update to allow a
Broadway Parking study to be one of the earlier tasks in the work program for that project. One of
the goals of the study would be to research the parking requirements that other cities have for
restaurant uses to determine if a lesser standard may be found that can reduce or eliminate the
instances in which parking variances must be sought for new food establishment locations in the
Broadway Commercial District. In the meantime, applicants seeking approval of a conditional use
permit for a new food establishment may request variances from the parking standards on a
case-by-case basis, possibly by demonstrating that the parking demand would be less than what
the code currently requires. Such instances would be based upon the specific characteristics of
the business enterprise for which relief is sought.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission considered the proposed amendments
at its regular meeting on January 12, 2015 (minutes attached). The Commission noted that they
believe that this amendment is a first step, and though it will not necessarily be the sole action
needed to reinvigorate Broadway, it is a good first step. They noted that lifting the restaurant
restrictions will help bring people to Broadway, which would be beneficial. Following conclusion of
the public hearing, the Commission adopted a resolution recommending approval of the
amendments to the City Council (see attached resolution).

Questions of staff.,
> Why is there the requirement for. a conditional use panni} for health service uses on the second
floor? (Meeker- Uncertain why the requirement was imposed.)

Commercial District? (Meeker - the restriction was put in place as a means of ensuring that those uses
did not take over the retail presence in the District)
> Now are fast food restaurants and outdoor dining treated? (Meeker - fast food type restaurants are
covered in one Of me categories of food establishments defined in the Zoning Ordinance. Outdoor
seating within the public right-of-way is allowed through approval of an encroachment permit granted by
the Public Works Department.)
> Did the survey regarding the Broadway Commercial District that preceded the October, 2014
community meeting lead to the suggestion to eliminate the conditional use permit requirement for health
services? (Meeker - the request to lift this restriction arose tram the small group discussions held during
the event)
> Noted that during the discussions regarding the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan, the Issue of
second floor uses was addressed,,, there was a desire to allow uses that add to the vitality of the district.)
> Is skeptical that lifting the food establishment restriction will alleviate the concern regarding vitality of
the district, but is not opposed to the change.
> Noted that second floor health service uses maybring more people into the district.
> Noted that uses that the City does not have the ability to impose operating hours upon uses that are
permitted by right.
> Suggested looking at the full range of uses allowed within the district to ensure that the proper mix is
achieved to enhance vitality (Meeker - Agreed and noted mat this will become part of a larger
discussion that will occur during the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance update)

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 12, 2015
Public Comments:
Dave Simpson, Broadway property owner
Retail sales in Redwood City have declined due to the existence of new restaurants within the downtown
area. This could happen on Broadway. His business services the restaurant industry. Understands the
restaurant industry. All restaurants want to be full at the same time; can create traffic problems.
(Commissioner - requested clarification that the retail uses do not do as well given the large number of
restaurants.) Noted that most of them do not exist anymore; there is very little retail remaining.
Betty Wolf, resident on Laguna
AN for making Broadway more vibrant, but it will never be like Burlingame Avenue. Is concerned with
Parking if more restaurants are allowed. A lot of people who own businesses do not live in the
neighborhood. Notice a lot of people parking in the adjacent neighborhood due to the inadequate
parking. More restaurants may tax the existing sewer system in the area. Restaurants need to convey
to their people where to park.
Gunnell Bercholz, resident on Laguna:
Near her property people can park all night. Parking is not monitored by the police. People have been
known to sleep in their cars. More restaurants will exacerbate the rat infestation problem in the area.
Restaurant people have too much garbage outside; it is overflowing and creates a rat problem.
Ann Hinkle, owner ofEachbeem:
Is a healthcare provider. Is delighted to see the amendment ]filing the requirement for a conditional use
permit for health services on the second floor. Former City Planner Indicated that healthcare businesses
would occupy parking for a longer period of fire than other forms of businesses. Will increase exposure
of other retail businesses on Broadway. The conditional use permit application fee caused another
individual that wanted to open such a business to be driven away.
John Kevranian, Chairperson of the Broadway Business Improvement District
Hears some of the concerns regarding parking and the potential loss of fetafl. There are currently retail
vacancies on Broadway mora restaurants will bring more foot baffc to the area. The restaurant
moratorium creates a commodity; there is no flexibility in terns of moving a restaurant to another
pmperty. Several of the parking lots in the area have long-term parking; some of these could be
converted to shorter term pecking. Employees could be directed to park at more remote lots within the
area. If neighbors have concerns regarding parking on the residential streets, then the Traffic, Safety
and Parking Commission can be approached to impose restrictions that may alleviate the observed
problems.
Garble Bezdjfan, 1199 Broadway-
Feels
roadwayFeels it is fair to contact other restaurant owners on Broadway to We if they want more restaurants In
the area; the existing operators will not want more restaurants. Need different types of businesses that
can create more foot traffic. With respect to the survey, noted that a survey was completed a number of
years ago; noted the results of that survey. Feels the City's survey from 2014 was not accurate. Feels
that the staff is running the City, should be the City Council. How would someone go fo a healthcare
business on the second floor l there is no elevator, Feels he has been discriminated against for the
Past fourteen years, that leads for new tenants are sent elsewhere.
Ross Bruce, AVR Realty:

Printed on 9/20/5095
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 12, 2015
Have attempted to nurture retail in the district by restricting certain business types on Broadway, but it
has not been successful even with current restrictions. Feels that allowing the market to flex as the
culture changes 17101/1191p to fill the vacancies on Broadway. Wants to sop fewer vacancies.
Unidentified Broadway business owner.
There are four vacancies on the block where his business Is located. Disagrees with staffs
representation of the vacancy rate. Feels that the Broadway District has been left behind and more
attention has been paid to Downtown Burlingame. The Broadway interchange construction will disrupt
the area for the next few years. There is inadequate padding; with more restaurants this will be
worsened and people will go elsewhere.
Chair Bandrapalli dosed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
> How many properties are within the District, what is the vacancy rate? (BarbeNMeeksr - roughly 44
individual properties. There is a 1% vacancy rate which represents four tenant spaces.)
> Referenced the changing retail landscape, other options for such businesses. Can't conclude
necessarily that restaurants are the culprit in the downturn of retail on the street
> Noted that he is frequently asked where employers can send their employees for meals.
> Is supportive of anything that can be done to invigorate the district.
> Is aware that there can be parking problems in the area.
> Has not perceived any preconceptions on the part of staff in the survey or the staff report
> There may be other means of addressing the parking issues.
> There are also means of addressing the trash issues that have been raised.
> t.iftfng the restitution can allow the district to reach a state of equilibrium.
> There will be more people looking for places to eat as the Bayfront becomes more developed.
> May not be the silver bullet, but worth achance. There may need to be adjustments made to other
uses in the area as well.
> Doesnt believe the proposed amendments will solve the problem, but likely will not make it worse.
> Broadway is not an easy place to get to, packing is problematic.
> If you provide businesses that people want, patrons will come, if you don't they won't.
> Not having parking isn't ft worse thing in the world.
> Doesn't feel that this is a complicated problem. Inves0nents made in properties (e.g. restaurants)
that need some work could go to help invigorate the district.
> The Broadway merchants need to look at their businesses to ensure that businesses that are there
are vibrant.

permit for health service uses above the first floor within the District. Chair Bandrapalh asked

a MEETING DATE: February 2, 2015
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: February 2, 2015
From: William Meeker, Community Development Director — (650) 558-7255
Subject: Request for a Finding of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN)
Pursuant to Section 23958.4 of the California Business and Professions
Code, Related to Requests for a Type -20 (Off -Sale, Wine Sales) and a Type -
42 (On -Sale, Wine -Tasting) Alcoholic Beverage Sales Permits Issued
through the California Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC), as
Requested by Del Oliva Incorporated, Located at 1440 Burlingame Avenue
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council should:
• Conduct a public hearing and consider all information within the staff report, as well as
any written and oral testimony, and following closure of the public hearing:
Consider adoption of the following resolution, by title only:
"A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Burlingame Determining that the Public
Convenience and Necessity would be Served by the California Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board's Issuance of Type -20 And Type -42 Alcoholic Beverage Sales Licenses for Del Oliva
Incorporated, Located at 1440 Burlingame Avenue"
BACKGROUND
A request has been submitted to the City for a finding of Public Convenience and Necessity
related to Del Oliva Incorporated's request for a Type -20 (Off -Sale — Wine) and Type -42 (On -Sale
— Wine Tasting) alcoholic beverage licenses for its business operation located at 1440
Burlingame Avenue. The zoning of the business location is Burlingame Avenue Commercial
(BAC). Within the BAC zone the retail sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption with
ancillary wine -tasting is a permitted use; no discretionary land -use entitlements are required as
part of this request.

PCN for Del Oliva —1440 Burlingame Avenue
DISCUSSION
February 2, 2015
Finding of Public Convenience and Necessity: Pursuant to Section 23958.4 of the California
Business and Professions Code, in instances where the number of licenses for alcohol sales
within a census tract exceeds the maximum number allowed within that tract as set by the ABC
(constituting an "overconcentration"), a "finding of public convenience and necessity' is required
of the local jurisdiction before the ABC will consider the license request.
Del Oliva Incorporated's business at 1440 Burlingame Avenue is situated within Census Tract
6055; within this census tract the maximum number of licenses allowed by ABC is eight.
Currently, 48 on -sale licenses and five off -sale licenses exist within the census tract. Because
the number of licenses within the census tract exceeds the maximum permitted by ABC, the
agency's rules require the applicant to seek a "finding of public convenience and necessity' from
the City before the agency will complete processing of the license transfer. Adoption of a finding
of public convenience and necessity by the City is, in essence, a determination that based upon
analysis by the City, transfer of the licenses is necessary to ensure that adequate opportunities
exist for the public to purchase alcohol products, and to weigh-in on whether or not the public
health, safety and welfare are potentially affected by the issuance of additional licenses beyond
the ABC's threshold.
Police Department Review: The Burlingame Police Department has reviewed Del Oliva
Incorporated's request for approval of the ABC licenses. The findings of this review are attached
to this report (see memorandum from Police Chief Eric Wollman, dated November 5, 2014). To
summarize, the Department supports a finding of "public convenience and necessity" based, in
part, upon the following findings:
• Del Oliva has operated in this area for over four years with no police related calls
for service;
• Their on-site consumption will be limited to a small, separate section of their retail
space and limited to wine tasting only;
• Their off-site sales will be limited to gift baskets that include a bottle(s) of wine,
• Del' Oliva is located in the Downtown Burlingame Business District with no parks,
schools, or residential housing in the area.
Though the Police Department supports a finding of public convenience and necessity; Chief
Wollman recommends that the following conditions be forwarded to the ABC for its
consideration prior to issuance of the license:
1. Sales, service, and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted only between
the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m Monday through Saturday, and 11:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. on Sundays.

2. No noise shall be audible beyond the area under the control of the licensee(s) as defined
on the ABC -257.
3. The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining free of litter the area adjacent to the
premises over which they have control.
4. Graffiti shall be removed from the premises and all parking lots under the control of the
licensee within seventy-two (72) hours of application. If the graffiti occurs on a Friday or
weekend day, or on a holiday, the licensee shall remove the graffiti within seventy-two
(72) hours following the beginning of the next weekday.
5. The interior lighting maintained therein shall be sufficient to make easily discernible the
appearance and conduct of all persons and patrons in that portion of the premises where
alcoholic beverages are sold, served, delivered or consumed.
6. The exterior of the premises shall be equipped with lighting of sufficient power to
illuminate and make easily discernible the appearance and conduct of all persons on or
about the premises. Additionally, the position of such lighting shall not disturb the normal
privacy and use of any neighboring residences.
Loitering (loitering is defined as "to stand idly about; linger aimlessly without lawful
business") is prohibited on any sidewalks or property adjacent to the licensed premises
under the control of the licensee as depicted on the ABC -257.
No person under the age of 21 shall sell or deliver alcoholic beverages.
9. The sale of distilled spirits in sizes smaller than 200 ml is strictly prohibited.
10. No malt beverage shall be sold with an alcoholic content great than 5.7% by volume or in
quantities of 16 oz. or greater.
11. No wine shall be sold with an alcoholic content of great than 15% by volume except for
"Dinner Wines" which have been aged two years or more and maintained in corded
bottles.
12. Wine shall not be sold in bottles or containers smaller than 750 ml.
13. Petitioner shall not make structural changes in the premises interior without prior written

RE: Request for Determination of Public Convenience & Necessity for Type 20 and Type
42 ABC Licenses for "De Oliva" @1440 Burlingame Avenue, Burlingame. CA 94010
Dear Mr. Hurin,
My husband, Mohammad Reza Sohirad, and I, Seyedeh Homa Ijadi, are the owners of De Oliva
store at the above address, We are in the process of filling out an ABC application for the sales
and service of Beer & Wine at our above listed store. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control will require from the City of Burlingame to make a determination of Public Convenience &
Necessity for the premises, under Sec. 23958.4 of the Business & Profession Code, before they
can approve our application.
We are respectfully requesting that the City of Burlingame after reviewing our application,
determine that a type 42 and a type 20 license at our store will serve Public Convenience and
Necessity. The type 42 License is an On Sale Beer & Wine Public Premises License,
(21 & Over only) and the type 20 License is an Off Sale Beer & Wine License for purchases to
take away from the premises. Please see below the way we wish to utilize these licenses and
how they will help to improve our business operation.
Type 42 License: On Sale Privilege of Beer & Wine, would allow us to utilize the back room of
our store as a designated area for wine tastings (see diagram). This area would be posted for
21 and over only as required by State Law and would be for our customers who wish to sample
various, high end wines that we wish to carry. The customers would then be able to make an
informed determination of wines they wish to add to their gift baskets or for purchases to be
made and enjoyed at home. This experience will allow our customer to sample our fine wine
selection and to make a decision based on their personal taste and experience prior to
selecting wines they wish to purchase.
Type 20 License: Off -Sale Beer & Wine License, which permits the sale of beverages to be
sold for consumption away from the premises. This license would allow the customer to then
purchase the wines they have selected to utilize for their enjoyment at their homes, gift baskets
or gifts to friends. We would request this license so that we can then have the required license
to sell the wine purchased as gifts or in gift baskets made to order per the request of our
customer.
We have been owner operators of our store since 2010 and have been so grateful to be part of
the City of Burlingame and the community. Our location, is on the main downtown shopping
district of Burlingame Avenue and is located next to numerous shops and restaurants. Our
business is very unique to the avenue as we are a specialty type store. We are a small family
operated business and also work full time at our store. Our store offers the freshest organic olive
oils, balsamic vinegar and related food items to compliment the wonderful gift baskets and
purchases made by our customers. We specialize in bringing in and providing the freshest
product to our customers and have received praise for our integrity of product and service to our
community. We have enjoyed being part of this community and are attempting to upgrade our
business by providing more products and items so that we will increase our customer base.
Although the addition of these licenses will be incidental to the overall business that we now
have, we feel the approval of the above licenses for our store will help us to be more financially
competitive with other like type stores in the community. In addition, our customers frequently
ask to add special wines to their gift baskets or to compliment their meals at home. We feel that
these improvements will increase our business which will in turn be financially beneficial to us,
and to the city by the taxes we now pay and the increased anticipated revenue.
Our business has received such positive reviews from our customer base and also from online
reviews. We feel that the approval and issuance of the two requested licenses will not be
detrimental to the health and welfare of our surrounding neighbors. The City of Burlingame does
not maintain crime statistics, however, we feel confident that the type of business operation that
we run will not add or increase police activity. We will continue to be good neighbors and have
always maintained a positive impact on our surrounding neighbors. Our hours of operation and
our family type business will continue to be an asset to the community.
In conclusion, we are very responsible business owners and know that we will be more
financially secure in our business by the addition of the type 42 and type 20 licenses. This will
help to increase the profits for our business and in turn provide a much requested service to our
customer base. We understand the Rules & Regulations of the Alcoholic Beverage Control and
we would like the City to know that we will attend the ABC LEAD Training Class that is offered
by the ABC. This is not a mandatory class, but we feel that it is very important to know the laws
regarding the sale and service of alcoholic beverages, checking of ID's, and therefore feel we
must attend.
Based on all of the above, we feel that we are in compliance and fall within the pervue of
Sec 23958.4 of the Business & Profession Code. We hope that the City of Burlingames findings
will be favorable so that the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will also approve
issuance of the applied for licenses. Please see the attached diagrams that will indicate the area
that would be utilized for the type 42 and type 20 licenses, If you have further questions or need
further documents, please do not hesitate to call me, I can be reached at (408) 644-5927.
Sincerely,
Homa Ijade & Mohammad Reza

your proposed business is properly zoned for alcoholic

•A conditional use permit (CUP) (Item 11) is a special
zoning permit granted after an individual review of proposed

the proposed use may create hardships or hazards to neighbors
and other community members who are likely to be affected
by the proposed use. The ABC district office will not make a
final recommendation on your license application until after
the local CUP review process has been completed. If the local
government denies the CUP, ABC must deny your license
application.

BURuNGAME POLICE DEPARTMENT
Memorandum
To: William Meeker, Community Development Director
From: Eric Wollman, Police Chief
Subject: Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity for 1440 Burlingame Ave
(Del' Oliva)
Date: November 5, 2014
Del' Oliva, a small, independently run, specialty store that sells fresh organic olive oils, balsamic
vinegar, and related food items, requests approval of a Finding of Public Convenience and
Necessity (FOPCN) to allow on-site consumption and off-site sales of beer and wine (License
Type 42 and 20).
The Alcohol Beverage Control Board (ABC) enforces the licensing of alcoholic retailers
regulated by State Law under Section 23958 of the Business and Professional Code. ABC will
deny any application if issuance of the license will create a law enforcement problem or if
issuance will result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses.
Del' Oliva is currently located in Census Tract #6055, which roughly consists of downtown
Burlingame and its surrounding area. There are currently 53 total licenses in this Census Tract
(48 on -sale licenses and 5 off -sale licenses).
The phrase "public convenience and necessity" is not defined in either the Alcohol Beverage
Control Act provisions of the State Business and Professions Code or in the ABC guidelines.
Other than the number and location of licensed alcohol premises, the Burlingame Police
Department used the following factors to determine the level of support for a finding of "public
convenience and necessity":
Del' Oliva has operated in this area for over 4 years with no police related calls for
service;
Their on-site consumption will be limited to a small, separate section of their retail space
and limited to wine tasting only;
Their off-site sales will be limited to gift baskets which include a bottle(s) of wine;
Del' Oliva is located in the Downtown Burlingame Business District with no parks,
schools, or residential housing in the area.
BPD's conclusion is as follows:
Del' Oliva, is a small, independently run, specialty store that sells fresh organic olive oils,
balsamic vinegar, and related food items. They have provided this service to the community for
over 4 years without any negative impact on the community. Their on-site consumption will be
limited to a small, separate section of their retail space and limited to wine tasting only. Their
off-site sales will be limited to the sale of gift baskets which include a bottle or bottles of wine.
It does not appear as if their request will create a law enforcement problem in that area. The
police department has no reason to deny the request; however, we recommend that any approval
of their transfer request be subject to the following conditions:
Sales, service, and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted only between
the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m Monday through Saturday, and 11:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. on Sundays.
No noise shall be audible beyond the area under the control of the licensee(s) as defined
on the ABC -257.
The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining free of litter the area adjacent to the
premises over which they have control.
Graffiti shall be removed from the premises and all parking lots under the control of the
licensee within seventy-two (72) hours of application. If the graffiti occurs on a Friday or
weekend day, or on a holiday, the licensee shall remove the graffiti within seventy-two
(72) hours following the beginning of the next weekday.
The interior lighting maintained therein shall be sufficient to make easily discernible the
appearance and conduct of all persons and patrons in that portion of the premises where
alcoholic beverages are sold, served, delivered or consumed.
The exterior of the premises shall be equipped with lighting of sufficient power to
illuminate and make easily discernible the appearance and conduct of all persons on or
about the premises. Additionally, the position of such lighting shall not disturb the
normal privacy and use of any neighboring residences.
Loitering (loitering is defined as "to stand idly about; linger aimlessly without lawful
business") is prohibited on any sidewalks or property adjacent to the licensed premises
under the control of the licensee as depicted on the ABC -257.
No person under the age of 21 shall sell or deliver alcoholic beverages.
The sale of distilled spirits in sizes smaller than 200 ml is strictly prohibited.

• Summary of multiple-choice survey responses to each question contained within the on-
line survey
Summary of open-ended question responses from the survey
• A condensed and categorized summary prepared by staff intended to reflect the
participants' suggestions via the survey and the discussions at the community meeting
The remainder of this report will provide a discussion of the comments received from the two
venues along with staff's suggestions for work program items and suggested implementation
timing for each item.

descriptions of potential work program items. For each work program item, a responsible party
has been identified, and a suggested implementation timeframe has been stated. In instances
where work has already commenced regarding a particular item, a "status" is noted; otherwise
there is a description of potential tasks that may be undertaken.
1. Lift the Restaurant Cap to Allow for More Restaurants
Responsible Party: City of Burlingame
Timing forlmplementation: Underway
Eliminate Restaurant Limitation: On December 1, 2014, the City Council provided
direction to staff to proceed with amendments to the zoning ordinance, lifting the cap on
the number of food establishments allowed within the Broadway Commercial District. A
companion item, elimination of the conditional use permit requirement for second -floor
health service uses, was also authorized by the Council.
At its meeting of January 12, 2015, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
both of the proposed amendments. The City Council is scheduled to introduce an
ordinance making the changes on February 2, 2015. If introduced on that date, the
ordinance will be scheduled for adoption on February 17, 2015.
2. Explore a More Diverse Mix of Uses within the District that Maintains the District's
Local -Serving Character
Responsible Parties: City of Burlingame, Broadway Business Community, Residents
Timing for Implementation: Burlingame 2040 General Plan Update
• Explore the Appropriate Mix of Uses for the Broadway Commercial District: Funding for a
comprehensive update of the City's General Plan (Burlingame 2040) is available, and
staff is currently moving forward with the City Council to award the contract for consultant
services for the project. Work on the update is anticipated to begin within the first quarter
of 2015 and will likely take a total of two to three years to complete, including adoption of
new zoning regulations.
Given the interest in enhancing the vitality of the Broadway Commercial District, staff
intends to work with the general plan consultant to ensure robust public outreach and
exchange of ideas relative to the future direction for the Broadway District.

3. Explore Approaches to Encourage Better Maintenance of Commercial Buildings
within the Broadway Commercial District
Responsible Parties: City of Burlingame, Broadway Business Community
Timing for Implementation: Ongoing
• Property Owner/Tenant Cost Sharing: A frequent concern raised at the community
meeting and in comments received via the on-line survey was that property and business
owners needed to invest more time and money into maintenance of their tenant spaces.
Owners of commercial properties within the Broadway District are encouraged to share
the cost of property maintenance and major tenant improvements in order to enhance the
aesthetic appearance of their properties.
• City -Based Incentives: City staff and the City Council's Economic Development
Subcommittee are currently exploring the possibility of creating a City -based loan
program that could be made available on an annual basis to serve as a source for partial
funding for tenant fagade improvements. Initial thoughts are that a pilot program could be
made available to owners and tenants of properties within the Broadway Commercial
District. Funding for such a program will be a part of the discussion of the Fiscal Year
2015-2016 Budget.
4. Explore Partnerships for Promotion of the Broadway Business Community
Responsible Parties: City of Burlingame, Broadway Business Community, Chamber of
Commerce
Timing for -Implementation: Ongoing
• Broadway Business Community Promotions: The Broadway business community should
be encouraged to explore making better use of social media platforms and partnerships
with the Chamber of Commerce to develop approaches for promoting the unique
character and business mix of the Broadway Commercial District. Some business
associations fund the hiring of full- or part-time staff to assist with these responsibilities.
The business community membership may also wish to forge relationships with the
hoteliers in the City to identify ways to encourage hotel patrons to visit the Broadway
Commercial District.
• City Assistance to the Broadway Business Community: The City's Economic
Development Specialist has begun working with the membership of the Broadway
Business Community to better serve as a City -based resource. He has created a
comprehensive listing of all businesses within the district as well as vacancies that can be
used to assist in directing new businesses into the area. Further, he has offered to
become a regular attendee at meetings of the membership of the Broadway Business
Community. The Economic Development Specialist also serves as a valuable resource to
the entire Burlingame business community in navigating the City's permitting processes.

5. Explore Means of Promoting Better Utilization of Existing Parking Facilities within
the Broadway Business Community
Responsible Parties: City of Burlingame, Broadway Business Community
Timing for Implementation: Ongoing, as City Resources Permit, or Burlingame 2040
General Plan Update
• Improve Signage for Parking Facilities: Participants in the Broadway Commercial District
Community Meeting indicated that the location and access to City -owned parking lots can
be difficult due to the lack of adequate signage. City staff is therefore encouraged to work
cooperatively with the Broadway Business Community to identify methods of improving
directional signage to parking lots. (As City Resources Permit)
• Review and Consider Revising Parking Lot Time Limits: Concern was expressed by the
community that parking time limits do not deter employees from parking in nearby lots and
also discourage business patrons from lingering within the district to continue shopping.
City staff is encouraged to work collaboratively with the Broadway Business Community to
strategize ways to discourage employees from parking within the core area of the district,
and to encourage shoppers to stay within the area for longer periods of time. (As City
Resources Permit)
• Explore the Possibility of Constructing a Public Parking Structure: During the upcoming
general plan update, an evaluation of the use mix within the Broadway Commercial
District will occur. Further evaluation of the existing parking supply as well as an
assessment of future parking needs will be explored. (General Plan Update)
• Consider Using Public Parking Lots for Periodic Public Community Events: The
Broadway Business Community is encouraged to consider the type of public events that
may support the community and to initiate discussions with the City for use of public
parking facilities if appropriate for a particular purpose. (Ongoing)
6. Explore Transportation System Improvements within the Broadway Commercial
District
Responsible Parties: City of Burlingame, Broadway Business Community
Timing for Implementation: Ongoing, as City Resources Permit, or Burlingame 2040
General Plan Update
• Explore the Creation of a Free Trolley Shuttle or Bus System for Shoppers in the
Broadway Commercial District and Downtown Burlingame: The Broadway Business
Community and the Downtown Burlingame Business Association are encouraged to work
cooperatively with the City to determine the feasibility of creating free, or reduced -fee,
shuttle services that better serve the two shopping districts. The City may assist in
identifying potential funding sources for such a service. (As City Resources Permit)
El
Broadway Community Meeting Summary February 2, 2015
• Enhance Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety in the Broadway Commercial District: In
conjunction with the Broadway Business Community, the City could commence
discussions regarding potential improvements within the Broadway corridor that will
enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety, including but not limited to: better enforcement of
traffic rules for vehicles and bicycles, infrastructure improvements to protect pedestrians
and bicyclists, etc. (As City Resources Permit)
• Consider Restrictions Related to Truck Usage of Broadway: The City could consider
initiating an evaluation of the feasibility of restricting large truck usage along the Broadway
corridor. (As City Resources Permit)
7. Explore Streetscape Improvements and Public Enhancements to Promote District
Vitality
Responsible Parties: City of Burlingame, Broadway Business Community
Timing for Implementation: Burlingame 2040 General Plan Update
• Provide a Family -Friendly Public Open Space Amenity within the Broadway Commercial
District: Upcoming discussions that are part of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan Update
will explore the possibility of creating an enhanced public realm within the City's
commercial districts, including the Broadway District.
• Explore Potential Public Improvements and Regulatory Standards within the District that
May Serve to Enhance the Aesthetics and Vitality of the Broadway Commercial District:
Though the Broadway corridor received a streetscape upgrade in the early 2000s (2000-
2002), residents and the Broadway Business Community have expressed a desire to
upgrade landscaping, street furnishings and other character -defining elements of the
District to further enhance its attractiveness as a local shopping venue. An exploration of
possible public improvements and regulatory standards intended to improve the District's
character and maintain its local charm will be explored as part of a focused discussion of
the Broadway Commercial District that will occur as part of the Burlingame 2040 General
Plan Update that is soon to be underway.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time, though funding could ultimately be required for focused studies that occur
outside of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan Update scope of work.

more oriented to locals than Burlingame Avenue (dry cleaner, tailor, drug store, small grocery store). Like this

Has a neighborly feel. Does not have high end chains (like the Ave.) Seems to be trying to hold onto the small

1 love the fact that the buildings largely retains the same beautiful, low-rise historic architecture going back to
10/1412014 7:56 AM
probably when it was first built (huge plus actually as it gives it a sense of character and history as well as
making it seem more inviting and part of the neighborhood). I also love that it has so many "mom and pop",
locally -owned businesses where the owners and staff often know their customers and are friendly toward them,
while the restaurants and stores are actually affordable or reasonably priced—which is more than can be said for
Burlingame Avenue (which is not only generally more expensive to eat or shop, but has more chain stores and
restaurants in comparison). I also like that its not just catered toward any one group (is those who are wealthy
and/or have small kids, again as is oftentimes the case with Burlingame Avenue), but appeals to and is
affordable to people of all income brackets and ages.

BROADWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SURVEY
Restaurants, with in walking distance and some banking available.
1. Good Location 2. Off the Grid food trucks 3. New pilates studio. I wits there were more of sports -related
establishments
I like the smaller, family-owned establishments although I don't know how they make any money. I think it's
important to have anchors such as Walgreens, the grocery marts, and the banks to drive regular traffic. Rent is
lower than Burlingame Ave.
Locally owned businesses - not corporate chain storefronts Service oriented businesses - tailor, cleaner, drug
store, travel agent Caters to the needs of the residents of the area
Walgreens, Wells Fargo Bank, Earth Beam Health Food Store
- easy freeway access
its a nice area for locals to walk to. Pet parade and other social events small town feel
Pedestrians walking on the sidewalks including families with young children
This street provides services needed: cleaners, shoe repair, hair salons, cafes, restaurants, plus shopping. This
variety is lacking on Burlingame Avenue.
Local vendors
the smaller/less franchisey feel of the street, easy parking
Small-town atmosphere Kid -friendly independent shops
Banks, grocery store
1) The independent (non chain store) retail stores, restaurants, food related business, dry cleaners, etc. 2) It's not
like Burlingame Ave, restaurants, clothing stores, and chain stores. Please don't'beautify' the sidewalks & streets
on Broadway. 3)1 can get almost all my day to day needs from the Broadway businesses eg produce,grocery,
pharmacy, wine, ice cream, coffee, Post office, gas, banking, restaurants, dry cleaning, beauty salon.
I like the small town feel. No big chains, except walgreens/starbucks, all interesting small businesses and
restaurants
Location
Location is its strength. Small town feel. Shops do not feel like going into an expensive store. More local feeling,
whereas Burlingame Ave is more commercialize and have more expensive stares.
-variety and quality of restaurants and cafes. -thrift and antique stores privide eclectic and unique shopping
experience -overall chane and "small town" feel of the architecture, high number of independent shops

242 1. Good variety of business - I get my hair cut at Supercuts 2. Nice sidewalks and free paper stands 3. Access to
Post Office
243 Convenience - at least by car and walking. Parking on street in front of shops, and on nearby cross streets, or in
lots just off Broadway. Appeal for both adults and families/kids. - banks, walgreens, coffee, post office for adults.
Preston, bonne sante, haircuts for family, older kids. Love the alley seating areas next to II Piccolo, and even
next to Behans.

247 1. I like the small town feel it has, it doesn't seem to be at all saturated with the large chain retailers found on
Burlingame Ave and feels more like a neighborhood gathering place. 2. The Irish Pub. 3. The pedestrian
crosswalks that are everywhere which makes street Grassing easy and safer. Maybe tied for third would be the
arched signs marking the entrances to the district.
248 Lack of chain stores
249 Not so glitzy.
250 1. Feeling of community. 2. Grocery shopping. 3. Local pharmacy.

drugstore, nail and hair salons, wine shop.
255 Some of the new shops
256 Strong presence of local businesses that service the community - dry cleaners, small grocers, coffee shops, nail

The community nature of the street. When we moved to Burlingame, Burlingame Avenue was the place for
9/28/2014 11:44 AM
outsiders to shop and Broadway was for the citizens. The business people and neighbors are friendly and the
community nature is strong. Broadway should be a place where Burlingame citizens came to shop.

1 love the charm on Broadway and want to see that stay. Burlingame Ave is always busy, hard to park but great
9/25/2014 7:49 PM
shopping, eating and drinks. Broadway needs more fun good restaurants, maybe a wine bar, better shopping.
Starbucks, el piccolo cafe, Magdalena, Broadway grill, sushi are great but it needs more. Something to get
people excited and a destination. There's a Pilates studio going up and its about time something great and
vibrant comes to broadway. That will be great and the city should help them out because they could be the first
step in turning the street around for the better. I wouldn't suggest office or medical on the street, it takes away
from bringing locals and visitors from enjoying time on Broadway. Get a couple fun, slightly trendy restaurants,
bar or wine bars, maybe a great boutique shop and you will see that people will come.

This corridor needs to be revitalized. Maybe converting into commercial office space might do the trick. It has the
9/25/2014 7:15 PM
same feel as California Ave. in Palo Alto - the less attractive version of University Ave. But now, California Ave. is
being revitalized helped by nearby office spaces that need places to dine. So maybe create the demand for other
businesses to support the need is a solution.

Thank you for easing the restrictions on restaurants. This makes Broadway more of a destination. Please allow

1. 1 like the fact that there are some individually owned, small businesses on the street, such as Prestons, Nuts
9/25/2014 9:26 AM
for Candy and All That Glitters that are incredibly community friendly and provide great products/services. 2. 1 am
really glad there is a Starbucks as I frequent that location. 3. 1t is convenient to have a drug store (Walgreens)
there as well.

go to Burlingame Avenue 3x as often.
533
It looks like it was frozen in 8me since the 1950s. We need fresh new restaurants, and stores people would
9/25/2014 7:26 AM
actually shop in. No more second hand shops, grungy nail salons and weird mom and pop computer repair shops.
And NO FAST food restaurants!!! It drives me crazy every time I pass by subway.-

573 It doesn't feel overly commercialized - the places are mostly local, with the exception of Starbuck's and Subway. 9/23/2014 12:03 PM
It feels homey and neighborly. Burlingame Avenue is too chic, too commercial. Please don't tum Broadway into
another Burlingame Ave.
574 1) Less trendy than Bud. Ave 2) Still has that old Burlingame casual look and feel 3) Diagonal Parking and 9/23/2014 11:51 AM

575 Enough beauty, hair and nail salons and more variety of businesses and business types. There are only 3-4 9/23/2014 10:31 AM
restaurants on Broadway worth eating at. The rest do not offer good food nor do they have any curb appeal. Bring
in some big name retailers, like Burlingame Ave. Broadway has the potential to be Budingame's other
Burlingame Ave if the city would get their act together.
576 Location;Like the local community feeling, like the relaxed atmosphere 9/23/2014 9:32 AM
577 The large number of small businesses - Beahan's, Preston's, the candy shop, Earthbeam, the donut shop, to 9/23/2014 9:08 AM

name a few. The fact that it sfill feels like a traditional downtown - it has not become too generic with a lot of
chain stores and restaurants. That it feels safe - I don't worry about my teens hanging out there at night.

1- allow enough time at meters to eat in restaumats without rushing 2- the parking lot in train parking lot on

582
Like that most of the business are local merchants, not the big chains we see on Burlingame Avenue. It would be
922/2014 8:41 PM
very sad if the chains take over. The Buringame Farmers Market is a great addition. Because of this store, we
come to this area once a week. We also love Earthbeam. Awesome store!

1 would like to see Broadway focus on food: take out/restaurants/grocery stores. We always go to the Burlingame
9/22/2014 6:59 PM
Farmers Market grocery store, Weimax and Earthbeam. Those are our mainstays. We often go to Sesame,
Magda Luna or Bonne Sante. The only worthwhile food outlets. Allowing more "offices" or non -retail in Broadway
will destroy it even more than it is. Broadway is stagnant and could be so much more. It has a smaller, more
artisanal, mom and pop feel than Burlingame which would lend itself well to really good "foodie" restaurants,
small shops for cheese or a butcher, good wine etc. What it is now is a travesty of empty storefronts, pathetic
restaurants (besides what I mentioned) with no customers and being the ugly stepsister to Burlingame. The
money in Burlingame and Hillsborough and the desire for things of quality make what Broadway is an anomaly.
People wonder "why"? It is because the landlords don't care and are paying Prop. 13 level taxes and have zero
incentive or insight to make Broadway something special.

Small "Mom and Pop" stores are the life blood of Broadway. Renovation/modernization will only force rents up,
9/22/2014 11:21 AM

Broadway the way it is. It is a beautiful, unique street. Leave it that way.

keeps the street a more small town feel. But it is not the thriving commercial street that Burlingame ave is.

major strength, that cant be changed, is its location, close to a great neighborhood (easton) and closer to the
freeway than budingame ave. this gives it goad potential as a destination for non residents. I also like the big

Parking, no construction, few chain stores
No opinion.
Nothing... Broadway is the ugly stepsister to Burlingame Ave. Has lots of potential but no one is making smart
decisions how to step up retail and restaurant locations .
Weimax, bonne sante and the health foodstore.
The farmers market on the corner. Quality places such as the potpourri store, earth beam, bonne sante, Weimax,
Preston's, Rocca and Broadway Grill. Trees lit along Broadway.
proximity to freeway more locally owned restaurants and shops
Their restaurants, Earthbean , II Picicillo, and All that Glitters. I like that Broadway stores are not all big
corporations, but that it maintains a small time feel,
small town charm excellent choice of restaurants easy access to 101
The area needs to be updated, much like Burlingame Ave was.
Low-key neighborhood feel, .Easy parking. Formal & informal restaurants.. Keep the U.S. Postal Office.
Big Joe's Cafe, freeway on ramps, and Preston's Ice Cream
1. 1 go to the Broadway Commercial District to visit a nail salon and All That Glitters. 2. Sometimes—since I have
to pay for parking anyway—I'1! stop into the bank or post office to take care of some personal business. 3. It is
convenient to park once and have access to all these businesses, within a short distance of a few blocks..
Good variety of restaurants, close to public transportation and easy and cheaper parking

coffee, dry cleaning, food and vegetables, ice cream and candy, drugstore and banking. Its all here on just a few

cocktails. Maybe a juice bar. Think of young families, young couples, locals who want to go out but they avoid

Simply put, Broadway is more user friendly; i.e., small stores, more personal interaction, much less trendy.

Earthbeam is a good example. Clerks know my first name; personnel go out of their way to order something for
me they don't ordinarily carry. This street is not catering to the 20 -or -30 -somethings and I feel more comfortable
here than on Burlingame Avenue which has turned into a chain store, outdoor, extremely high-priced mall. You

Figaro, B - The "staples" of Broadway. Without them there would be no reason to visit. Looking forward to the
new plates studio — if the owners/instructors are good, PII be going there.
846 Friendly merchants. Parking fee reasonable. Broadway arch.
847 Broadway has a good array of restaurants. Would like to see even more vanety, particularly ones that have
outdoor dining. I dont feel that Broadway needs more shops since Burlingame avenue covers that. However,
broadway would be a good location for more small boutiques. A

858 Location, cafes health food and farmers market
859 Starbucks, other restaurants, banks
860 Bank, Prestons, Walgreens
861 1) Earthbeam Natural Foods for the products they sell plus the beautiful garden -like front street comer they
maintain with care and consistency. 2) Parking lots and parking meters (not central payment machines). 3) Keep
favorite old time traditional shops like Prestonsill Prestons, Earthbeam, Pot- Pound, Lumier, II Piccolo Caffe, and
Cafe Capuchino, are the prize of Broadway - family owned (not a national chain like Subway or SuperCuts),
artistically maintained store fronts, clean intenors and offering top quality products. 4) services like the post office
and the tailor
862 Neighborhood feel. A place for Burlingame residents to feel at home.
863 The accessibility and convenience of food stores, especially within walking distance which is important for the
elderly who can no longer drive. The fact that we have a natural foods store, The Earthbeam, is a big value.
864 - Easy approach from 101 --Keep Preston's—easy access from EI Camino --
865 Convenient businesses/services for locals are most important to me; I like being able to walk to my bank,
Walgreens, Starbucks, and casual restaurants for weeknight dinners. I also love walking to Preston's with my
daughter. The Caltrein station is another important feature that I want to maintain.
866 Decent number of restaurants

Affordable, local restaurants Easy parking Small convenience grocery stores
Keep the mom and pop stores (no national chain stores) - like Weimax, Prestons, Piccolo, Earthbeam, Shabu
House, Magda Luna, Behan's Convenient parking Pet Parade!
I like that it is more Small business. Not a store or place you find in a mall. I hate that we have a Starbucks.
Small businesses and not big fancy stores or chains. More family -like. Different feel from Burlingame Ave.
It's more "mom and pop" local businesses compared to Budingame Avenue which tends to have more chains.
II piccolo Antique store Grocery market
Local merchants
Good access, cute street
1) More casual and eclectic dining options compared to Burlingame Ave 2) More local orientation (ie, Burlingame
residents). Busy but less hustle & bustle. 3) Convenient to my home in Easton Addition and easier to park.
Small size stores, neighborhood convenience stores and grocery stores,
proximity
Keep the great restaurants, the smaller and unique stores and easy access off the freeway.
Commercial thoroughfare right off freeway exit Mix of commercial and business, but not just chain stores

Preston's.
Retain mom'n pop stores. Minimize chains and franchises.
Convenient markets Love the farmers market
Restaurants
one or two restaurants nothing else ... needs improvement
Keep Preston's and strong standing establishments. Too many hair salons
Addition to Burlingame Avenue as a shopping district for the city.
Keep the old world small town ambience!I Keep the small, mama papa businesses. Too much commercial bldg.,
Le., apts, condos, business giants, etc. Too many people = too many cars, too many large, out of place homes
built. EI Camino is like driving on the freeway, too much congestion. People move here because they loved the
small town feel, which is being ruined by what you want to call "progress". Does everything have to be about
money? Stop the building & expansion.
The Walgreens and the Boulangerie across from it and the gas station and the Bank of Amence ATM and the
Starbucks and nail salon that is right next door. The natural food stare and the farmers market store!
Need wider street for driver. Maintain parking area. Update all area.
Small size easy to walk around convenient for short trips
Cute stares
Not too many chain stores. I like all the small, independent shops!
So many local businesses rather so many corporate businesses on Budingame Avenue Community business
support to local endeavors (school fund raisers, political campaign meetings etc.) Personal recognition in most
business places
Earthbeam Health Food Store. Produce store, e5. Bank

It's walking distance to my house. Parking isn't too terrible. It has a few decent, but not phenomenal, restaurants.
Neighborhood community feeling
nice wide sidewalks and crosswalks on the streets good mix of stores, no big chains (gap, pottery bam, etc)
Proximity to where we live Post Office Access to Bank of America Window
Old-fashioned feel Non -pretentious, quaint Neighborhood center

Keep up the look of the historic part of Budingame... Broadway. It's the first thing you see when you exit the

Burlingame.

1 think that the stores and restaurants on Broadway are great—they satisfy the needs and wants of the general
9/19/20144:35 PM
public. The produce store provides quality items for the surrounding neighborhood. The coffee shops are
awesome places to relax and meet friends. The cleaners/tailors provide convenient service for the neighborhood
also. The parking that is available around the area is ample and usually I can always find a spot to park.

Locally owned cafes, restaurants, and shops. I would lave to walk down Broadway Avenue and be able to pop

into one after another. Or to walk along in the evening, and pick a dinner restaurant. There are a few good
restaurants. I believe the restaurants would have better turnout if there were more choices. Our favorites: Bonne
Sante, Taste In, Magdaluna, Sesame, Royal Donut, Cafe Figaro, Rocca, Le Croissant, & Village Host. I love the
lights on the trees at the Holidays.

The district has a very nice variety of businesses; one can take care of many needs/wants all within a close
radius.
- i do appreciate the mom and pop shops but must confess they aren't exactly the most appealing so i don't go in.
Like the charm of non chain stores and specialty items
Remaining small individually owned businesses. Restaurants. Ability for those businesses to afford to remain.

BROADWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SURVEY
Diversity of reataurAnts, coffee shops and bars.
I like the fact that Broadway is more small business owners rather than the chain stores that are on Burlingame
Ave. I like the feel of it
I like that it is homey - neither full of national chain stores or prohibitively fancy (2 issues with Burlingame Ave.)
None
Its old. ugly and redown..
Proximity to my house, pharmacy, bank.
Restaurants, coffee shops, drug store
- non -pretentious atmosphere - small businesses (not chains or franchises) - great freeway access
1. The old fashioned funkiness of Broadway. While I live (and have most of my life) in Burlingame as well as
maintain a business in Burlingame, the Avenue has become too commercialized. The baby stroller issue is a bit
much! Meaning, that socialization is now around a coffee shop with little kids. I feel sorry for the little kids not
being able to play at a park! 2. The eclectic nature of the stores. I like how there is no theme to the stores. And,
the mom and pop shops still exist. 3. The neighborhood feel.
What is good, the small business, not the big box people like the mall on Burlingame Ave.
Some of the older buildings are beautiful. I like the Broadway Burlingame arch. I love the Broadway Grill.
Local establishments and very few chain restaurantsistores Ease of parking
Get my nails done ... that wasn't on the list of services, Burlingame Farmers Market'store, Coffee houses.
Walgreens and it's near my house that I can walk also.
Mom and pop restaurants
Focus on restaurantslfood.
Good mix of businesses
love the family owned businesses that have been there forever
Friendly...
Convenient "staples" including walgreens, dry cleaners, market. Lower cost meters compared to downtown. Easy
parking
Great location! Near the train station.
Feels like a neighbor, part of a community, many mom and pop stores - not national chains
Very well appointed Merchant Association, smaller boutiques, no major anchor tenants (with exception of
Starbucks).
Lots of good coffee options, good food and a nice variety, and I love the small boutique style shops.
Diverse stores and restaraunts - not all high end so a diversity of costs Easy access off of 101 on the way home
from work Treelined, nice street
Great restaurants Locally owned businesses Good variety of businesses

Small downtown feel, no chain stores wanted
I wouldn't want to see it have parallel parking like they put in in burlingame ave. it is already traffic prone since
the freeway entrance is at one end and that would cause a lot of back up (people trying to parallel pads). Also the
walgreens parking lot is very convenient for running into grab things. I never go to the budigame ave Walgreens
now that there is not a convenient free lot. To lase that would be very disappointing.
I love the two little grocery stores, the vegetables are great at the market on the comer north side and I love the
organic store as well. I also like the fact that iPs not as commercialized as Burlingame Ave. I would prefer the
Broadway downtown area not be modeled after Burlingame Ave.
Starbucks, Produce market, bank
The "classic' feeling it evokes. Seems like it hasn't changed as much. Less fancy schmancy than Bgame Ave. —
in a good way.
Coffee hats, Behans, Wells Fargo/ATM

I like the fact that there are truly local businesses located there and not chain stores. 1 don't want to see
Broadway became a miniature Burlingame Ave. Broadway feels more like "old Burlingame." While I didn't grow
up here, it remindsme of where I did grow up. I try to support the businesses on Broadway as much as I can. I
feel no such obligation toward the Apple Store or the Banana Republic on Burlingame Ave, although 1 sometimes
shop at those places too
Love Walgreens, the B of A- ATM. Enjoy the EI Piccolo, like to sit out at the croissant shop and socialize, use the
Post Office daily, The wine shop is great and so is Rocca's and Broadway Prime.

The variety is nice, as is the lack of a zillion chain stores. But so many shops look languid, out of date, out of
9/19/2014 4:02 PM

BROADWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SURVEY
What are three things you'd like to see
changed or added to the Broadway
Commercial District?
Answered: 1,185 -Skip ped: 4
1. 2 hour parking on Broadway 2. better signage of long term (cheaper) parking
Vacant stores Evening "Tapas", light food and wine, coffee, cheese Perhaps a private citizen on BID board
Greater variety of restaurants Make an elevated track over Broadway for trains
More retail, jewelry store, hardware store Coordinate traffic lights better on Broadway and California intersection
A hardware store A supermarket Bank of America
A variety of small retail stores, not chain stores More different kinds of restaurants Too many gas stations
Family coffee shop added New market Clothing stores added
Stronger boutique shops with higher end products Large grocery chain in the neighborhood Stronger commercial
businesses
Too many vacant businesses
Fewer nail salons More restaurants Quality stores
Better restaurants - how about some successful restaurants from SF (wood -fired pizzalsalad, great French, wine
bar, etc.) Better quality shops - we have several shops that sell the same low-end gifts and jewelry
Bakery More restaurants -variety and quality of Rocca Fewer beauty salons
End to outside clutter Small concrete planters Lift and deformities on the sidewalks
N/A
Hardware store Bakery
16 NIA
17 Upgraded sidewalks as on Burlingame Avenue No more nail salons Some upscale stores and perhaps a good
shoe store and a decent clothing store
18 Better stores and restaurants More off-street parking Fewer empty storefronts
19 More lighting Fix pavement around Broadway district Remove old cars and truck parking on private parking for
long period of time
20 N/A
21 Full service health club (notjust a Pilates studio) Fish market Butcher shop
22 Wool dlike to see it kept clean (e.g. trash, food and drink containers, cigarette butts, dog urine and feces,
sometimes vomit and sputum. Would like to see flower containers planted nicely and kept up. Variety store or
Dollar store Would like to see cigarette containers provided again; new population smokes a lot. Along Broadway
and on the side streets before entering residential areas (also trash cans here and in parking lots). Do not need
any more restaurants - there is already a lot of them and a wide variety. Would like restaurants to be responsible
for keeping outside areas dean and ret -proofed as the rats come dawn into the residentiar area. Now that the
State has changed the massage parlor law, it would be appreciated if the massage parlor on Capuchin was
closed permanently.
23 More restaurants; more variety Bakery; more grocery stores Better parking
24 Only use Walgreens, Trendz, Wells Fargo, Positively Yours and Pick of the Litter Could use a good hardware
store

BROADWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SURVEY
Overall appearance - very old, tired look that pales in comparison to Burlingame Avenue Fill empty storefronts
Add more retail
Improve the quality of restaurants and clothing stores Change that it is a freeway exit and entrance Streetscape
is unattractive
More restaurants. More parking. More pedestrian friendly
Stores that service the neighborhood: ie. Gorcery, pharmacy, hardware stores, etc
updated sidewalks updated commercial facing - many places look old and run down
Update like Burlingame Ave
(1) Reduce the number of vacant storefronts. (2) Reduce the number of restaurants which no one appears to eat
at and which aren't very attractive. (3) The "massage parlor" has got to go! Who are they kidding?
1. Independent book store 2. More retail shopping (clothes)
Good stores.
-More easy family food food options: burritos, soupisalad, or burgers -hardware store-toys/books/children's items
More variety of stores, more restaurant options,
Sidewalk/ storefronts could be updated More smaller restaurants with open air seating Sitting cafes
More shops More parking
More support for small businesses.
Better quality of restaurants. Ideally with outdoor seating. Aesthetic of the street, between California and EI
Camino Real.
Maybe a little upgrading of store signage. trees.
Better parking - it used to be much easier to park More restaurants More take out food options
Try not to mess up a good thing by adding any more restaurants, limit salons and what goes on there, make sure
the post office doesn't leave.
The city should encourage new local sustainable commerce to go there. It would be a fantastic balance for the
city to have a high end / branded center at bur ingame and an independent / local center at Broadway. (Think
town and country revival in Palo Alto)
Empty store fronts More parking -especially short (24 mins.) and long term (8-9 hours for workers) Really GOOD
restaurants- EI Figaro, Broadway Grill are great examples
More mom and pop stoms/upscale/artisan shops (e.g. fishmonger, butcher, bakery, artisan/organic foods) which
will bring more charm and more specialized businesses to shop at (vs Burlingame Ave); less consignment type of
stores which downgrade quality of whole street. Stores need refreshing/updating. (Upcoming yogalpilates place
looks great!) More variety of family -friendly restaurants (Rocca is great; Broadway Grill okay but very overpriced;
better pizza place...)
46 1 believe Broadway should attract First time business owner with reasonable rent and smaller spaces (if you look
at the ones for lease right now, there are way too big for a first time business person to give it a shot) and with the
renown of Burlingame avenue, Broadway should be seen as an incubator for future business's. I also think that
rents (as difficult as this could be) should be somehow controlled in order to protect the small business's already
in place and also to protect successful small business owner from having to go because the landlord jacked up
the rent like crazy now that he is successful 1 As a walking and cycling person, I see enough cars on broadway
but people are good and they don't Fly too quickly down or up that street.
47 I'd like to see it'snazzed up' a bit, to look visually more cohesive. There is a slip -shod look to the street and it
could use some cohesion, so that the street matches the Broadway Burlingame overarching sign and community
as it is today— in look and feel and not look like a street in some neglected Avenue in a gritty area of another city.
48 Maintain small neighborhood feel to mix of businesses. Please do NOT go vertical --no highnses!
49 Upgrade the real estate, the stores and restaurants - bring it into the current century and prepared for the future...

up. Let some more food places in - a couple of more choices of where to dine.

Please help to get rid of the old 2o� nand clothing boutiques. They are so dirty and bring the street down. The
10/18/2014 12:39 PM
street really needs a new anchor store - or stores. Pottery Barn kids would be amazing. There are a many young
families and 1st time parents that live here. Call Laura Alber at Pottery Barn (President). Their signature store is
Standford. Their executives have to drive all the way there when they do new floor sets. I'm sure it would make
good business sense for them (demos) to open in Bgame. Williams Sonoma would be a good store too. Would be
great to get some new restaurants. Ideally with outdoor- or better yet, rooftop seating. This would be something
unique compared to Bgame ave.
77
Fresh paint on building exteriors to freshen up the loo on Broadway. it has the feel of a Mid -Western old town

1) A bakery would be great. 2) Also, a households goods store that specializes in something quaint but useful,
10117/2014 11:31 PM
such as selling everything to do with tea and coffee (cups, coffee pots and machines, teapots, tea cozies,
accessories, etc.). 3) Finally, if you did add another food establishment, we would love a good soup & sandwich /
deli shop that stayed open later in the day; a place similar to The Plant, in which everything was organic,
sustainable, responsibly/ethically sourced and grown. That is very important to my family - we eat with a
conscious!

a third world country.Why is this still allowed even after they have been sited... The Broadway Deli needs to open
and stop running a catering business out the back door. How is this allowed? What kind of business license do
they have? Also, Why does the broadway prime use the old hardware store as a storage unit? There is simple no

brutal during the AM and PM commute times.

more of a North Beach feel. We need a good bakery that would bring crowds along with good restaurants. Overall
we need just a better places for people to go to to make the feel of the town feel warm and attract more people.
Many people view broadway as a bad area and not a fun place to go to. That needs to change!

Broadway needs to be brightened up. The sidewalks are dark and very, very narrow. I would like the opportuity to
10/17/2014 5:38 AM
be able to meet up with friends and have a place to sit outside. There are places that have outdoor seating but
seating is limited. I do not like the vapor store, it is very low class. Earthbeam and the outdoor seating &
landscape as well as the Broadway Grill are beacons of style and very welcoming.
123
The area needs to be spruced up. Tao many empty store fronts. Too many tiny clothing stores and nail salons. It
10/1712014 5:31 AM

Visual improvements that would add more "charm". Tasteful decorative shop signs which hung out and over part

of the sidewalk (rather than posted flat on a shop or building) could draw positive attention to businesses and if
done in good taste could go a long way to making Broadway more cohesive appearance -wise. Calling Broadway
an "old town center" might give this location a boost.

across as an after thought. I've spoken to merchants who are looking for space to lease, but refuse to go to
Broadway because they are afraid it will hurt their brand. (One told me it appears "rat" infested. Ughl) 3. More

Would be nice to have better quality establishments. Sorry to say but there seems to be a lot of turnover and
10i1612014 5:10 PM
- some of the stores seem highly specialized/specific (e.g. dog grooming, thrift stares, etc.). The restaurants are
somewhat "tired" — no particularly "buzzworthy" or mainstay type restaurants except perhaps the steak house. I
like the concept of Village Host but the pizza quality there isn't that good (sure, it's probably a personal
preference). Perhaps the area is too small and can never gain significant traction? A larger anchor store might
attract some more?

1) Better quality restaurants that are still kid friendly. There is variety in type of restaurants (Japanese, Chinese,
10/15/2014 2:34 PM
Thai, Itailian, Pizza, etc) but the quality of the food for most of these places do not warrant a repeat visit. I've been
to most every restaurant on Broadway and the Korean place (Sesame) and Donut Cafe are the only places that I
regularly go back to. If the quality of the restaurant was better, I would frequent Broadway all of the time because
it is so close to where I live. Instead, I find myself going to Burlingame Ave all the time since the quality of
restaurants are better there. 2) Better Sunday hours for shops and restaurants. Broadway seems completely
dead on Sundays.

I'd like to see fewer vacancies along Broadway—there are some spaces that have been vacant now for what
10/14/2014 7:56 AM
seems like over a decade (especially storefronts). Is the rent really that high or are there too many restrictions or
ordinances in place to allow businesses to operate out of them? Also, more leniency toward restaurants so they
aren't "tethered" to particular spaces if they want to expand or move to a larger space, to allow them to keep their
food permits separate from the space they occupy, should they wish to do move. It would also be nice to see the
businesses along the side streets somehow get more attention to let people know they're even there.

209 Higher -end restaurant's with wine bar, will attract corporate/business meals No more cell carrier stores
Independent retail clothing shops; unfortunately several have closed
210 Additional grocery stare, a full service hardware store and another general good store.
211 1. The look of the shops and restaurants (way too dated) 2. The variety of shops 3. I'd like to see a more cohesive
look versus seeing an ugly 1970s building next to pretty spanish style building.
212 More places to sit on the sidewalk, especially when eating ice cream. I like the outdoor seating on Bud Ave. A big
family -friendly restaurant like a pub with a back garden. Slightly more modern restaurants (all price ranges) A
higher -end hair salon. A park with picnic tables and a gathering area and maybe a kids playground. I know it's
hard to actually remove buildings for this, but this would be nice, especially right on Broadway Ave. with a short
fence. Nando's peri -ped chicken restaurant (they are expanding in the US).
213 Better signage for drivers about location of parking lots Cleaner sidewalks A bakery. Is there a zoning or
permitting situation about number of kitchens or something keeping this from happening?
214 More vegetarian food choices, Sproutz Ritz 5 and 10 cent store, Hardware Store
215 - better stores (retail and restaurants; better chain stores similar to Burlingame Ave; missing brand name /
popular anchor tenant that attracts business (besides Starbucks)) - better traffic control (sometimes hard to see
pedestrians crossing), traffic moves very slow, which is a little strange coming off freeway exit -
216 height restrictions on buildings. It would be great to knock down existing building to build residential over retail.
Retail suites are to small for any type of retail that the locals really want. we need bigger retail suits for larger
restaurants. no more bars but restaurants that have liqueur would be nice.
217 Karate or An after school type activity like kumon or taekwondo
218 1 like the upgrade that was recently done with benches and easy to walk intersections Encourage building
owners to enhance their fascades (architecture[ decorative detailing added or artful painting, for example) and
make signage easier to see/read/view.

223 1) close off the base of Broadway at California Dr to through traffic from the freeway. There is too much traffic up

market

downtown.
1. Free parking / more parking 2. Grade separation from Cal train 3. Less through traffic
1. Easier Access for Bicycles - dangerous to cross at camino, especially at ECR turn right onto Broadway.
dangerous to ride down Broadway with kids in street, few places to easily park bicycles. Need to clear
obstructions around comers, so that drivers can easily see people waiting to cross. 2. "Open" up street,
businesses. I.e.like the seating area next to II Piccolo. The corner seating is too close to busy traffic. patio in front
of Starbucks. Encourage more open windows like II Piccolo, fewer dark(ened) windows like Behans or even
Village Hast. 3. More food/drink, fewer nail salons
Remove some hair and nail parli Put in a hardware store Make Laguna Street one way from Lincoln toward
Broadway
Better food/take-out Looks junky/old More life
Hardware Store High -End Clothing Juice Place: T -Pumps, Yummy Yogurt
1. More diversity of retailers, like bringing back the hardware store and adding some galleries or craft stores. 2.
Better traffic reduction or monitoring of people cruising the strip at night. Sometimes when I'm thereat night there
seems to be a different element that shows up that likes to drive faster and make frequent trips up and down the
street. 3. Larger sidewalks and updated landscaping.
More variety of good, moderately -priced restaurants
Poor lighting - looking back from EI Camino, the entire street looked so dark it is scary. The poor lighting also
makes it hard to see pedestrians darting out from the cars.
1. Better restaurants. 2. More bike friendly. 3. Less emphasis on gas stations & financial institutions.
Restaurants
The traffic flow has been terrible for years (will be corrected) See fewer empty storefronts The quality of many of
the stores is low (marginal); businesses with apparel have short life
Would love a frozen yogurt place (Burlingame Avenue has several) Reasonable priced quality boutique/small
clothing shop More street seating amenities Creperie, Indian Curry, smoothie
Would like to see more retail shops of Potpourri quality; more clothing stores that are non thrift or consignment,
hardware store,grocery store, book store.

1. Limit the same type of merchants; i.e. seven nail salons, 4 used clothing stores 2. Boutique and charming style
shops; i.e. bakery, butcher, restaurants with contemporary food - not just ethnic 3. Curb appeal - stone/tile
sidewalks, bump outs for restaurants with hedges and plants so you do not feel like you are dining with cars,
flowers that are maintained and replanted
sidewalks are narrow but here's limited space to improve that better traffic and parking control (or enforcement),
cars driving too fast or going wrong way down one way streets

Walgreens is nice and I would not necessarily like to see if gone, but do not add any more big -box stores... Keep
the small feel (so we can continue to have the Pet Parade and fun things like that- its why people live in

I'd like a more modern updated mom and pop shops. Love the Wine store. A Cheese store next door would be
10/5/2014 11:37 AM
great! So would a wine bar. Magda Luna is great. Fresh sustainable food. A sustainable breakfast place would be
great! Middle Eastern places are good. Get rid of Subway. The smell coming out of there is sick. LOVE the
EarthBeam corner. Less nail salons. Better restaurants... too many Asian restaurants. Boutiques are not good. I
always say that Broadway can be a specialty street with the right vendors. Mentally stable people would be great
too, Not mentioning names but! I have thought about opening my own business on Broadway one day when I
leave the corporate world.:)

More diverse and quality dining establishments More emphasis on popular dining and retail More cohesiveness
10/5/2014 10:29 AM
and balance among the tenants. Full Service Dining—> Retail Office Space —> Lunch/Limited Service Food
Establishments More Retail and Dining Traffic--> More Parking
286
Maybe some new restaurants, or a nice neighborhood bar. And, a full service grocery store. Install stop signs at
10/5/2014 9:01 AM
all intersections. That would be a great safety improvement for pedestrians and it would allow cars to make safe
turns onto Broadway from side streets.

10/2/2014 10:53 PM
I like to support many do seem to lack creativity or innovation or that something special to draw me there often. I
would also worry that if it got too popular it would be hard to park or drive through to get to the freeway or home
from the freeway.

HAVE TO THINK FURTHER ABOUT THAT.
dean up building fronts, awnings. They look like they haven't been painted/repaired in decades don't build ugly
strip mail cheap construction places like corner of Broadway and Laguna make it more bike friendly - guide the
commuters who aren't going to stop to other streets and make it safer for people to walk/bike down street try a
street closure oncelmonth juloct for farmers market, entertainment, etc. - could even feature school fundraiser
events, etc.
More unique businesses such as Pot Pourri. More restaurants.
More resturants less empty buildings
More restaurant selection Just fix the block up a little more
Needs better restaurants and stores! The food is terrible (with the exception of magda Luna which is awesome!)
would also love to see better shops and boutiques
Needs to be re -done like Burlingame Avenue. Needs more retail shops. Retail shops on Broadway or
uninteresting.
Additional restaurants with valet parking Fewer nail salons Structures parking garage
Fewer random stores _
More parking—not sure where that would be though
more interesting shops & restuarants
Occupants in all stores A Bakery A bookstore
more restaurants, bakery, juice bars, yogurt shops. More parking, maybe a multi level parking structure. Reopen
the caltram station. Allow karate studios, educational centers, art teaching studios. Kinko's Fedex.
1) More exceptional restaurants and eating/drink venues.. NOT MORE food chains (ie Subway) 2) Face lift
similar to Burlingame Ave, but still maintain old town feel 3) Farmers market once a week
Street scalping, outdoor dining/coffee
Variety of merchants needed — useful stores like a hardware store, stationery store. A book store would be nice.
A family restaurant like Crepevine or a great salad place would be a nice addition. Some of the stores don't feel
like they really have much foot traffic and don't bring much life to the neighborhood. Would be great ff could figure
out how to make the street more of a place where people would walk around rather than just park and go into a
store and then leave.
More restaurants More practical kind of shops - hardware store, ups store
1.There are still way too many nail and hair salons- lacking alternate retail options. 2.Many storefronts are dated
and bland (the awful green carpet in the bank, the sports memorabilia corner business, the dry cleaner shop,
even the floral shop looks tacky -I've never gone to any of these businesses- Very little charm factor on the street -
one outdoor pot had ugly fake flowers in it -why bother? Could be factor in the multiple vacancies. 3.Outdoor
sealing options-parklets as in SF would be great to see -there are enough parking options to remove some from
Broadway street at each end. Would enhance community and chane. 4.Would like to see the empty store spaces
filled- a book store, apparel, better restaurants -
GREAT SELECTION OF CASUAL RESTAURANTS MORE PARKING FREE PARKING CLEANING
SIDEWALKS LOWER SPEED LIMIT PARKING STRUCTURE BAKERY KIDS EDUCATIONAL TUTORING
KARATE STUDIO NO MORE NAIL SALONS
More/different eating choices, particularly dinner. Useful retail stores, stores that someone would actually
frequent.
330 Get rid of gas station on corner of EI Camino, get better quality restaurants, build a packing garage
331 Some of the large empty spaces would make nice artist workspaces, and would tie into first Friday, like in San
Mateo. A nicer dell than the one there. A community bookstore a la Kepler's in Menlo Park. A better use of the
space down at both ends of the block --the gas stations on both ends are not inviting and the area around the
hacks, and the freeway entrance are a confusing mess.
332 1. Remove the moratorium on food establishmentsl!I 2. Several storefronts have become non -inviting _either
looking rundown or dirty & In some cases both Example: Prestons Candy 3. Increased cleaning of streets &
sidewalks 4. 1 would like a real Bakery on Broadway

335
1. REMOVE THE MORATORIUM ON RESTAURANTS1111 Broadway has a very limited selection of restaurants -
9/29/2014 8:52 PM
allow more to come in. For example, it would benefit greatly from a true bakery, a higher end wine bar, etc. 2.
ENFORCE the permit parking - residents have paid $50 per year for permits but it is not regularly being enforced.
336
traffic seems dangerous as a pedestrian, too many pan handlers, seems run down and needs a face lift.
9/29/2014 8:23 PM
337
Remove all the little stores that sell junk and put nice stores like Burlingame Ave Some of the buildings looked
9/29/2014 6:53 PM

- I'd love to see a sports bar/restaurant there as well as a bakery or other food offerings in addition to the current
9/29/2014 3:09 PM
selection. - There are a number of locations open, it would be great to have them filled with viable options to bring
a bit ore vitality to the location. - The storefronts are older, please continue to complement them with plans and
trees. It doesn't have to look exactly like Burlingame avenue, investing in these give it a more welcomingliinviting
feel.

9/29/2014 11:13 AM

348
Better physical appearance. It is not a place you want to stroll around on. Why close the street to traffic and treat
9/29/2014 10:40 AM
the street as a plaza with outdoor seating, lighting, good variety of restaurants, coffee shops, book store, etc.
Make people want to come there as a destination rather than just have a place in mind and then leave.
349
More space to sit outdoors; more parking (but not on Broadway, nearby), bike racks;

350
There are no destination locations that are supplemented with the opportunity to walk around and shop at other

one store and leave.

Encourage a more dynamic mix of stores. Better restaurants, kids activities, some destination retail more like
9/29/2014 8:49 AM
Burlingame Ave, fashionable boutiques, etc. Look at Castro St in Mountain View and how they turned the street
into an outdoor space with seating on the sidewalks. When we walk down the street, we speculate about the odd
zoning/city laws that must keep this eclectic mix of stores in business. Not eclectic in a good way— how many
random odds+ends and dated clothing stores do you need in a street? We've lived a short walk away for years,
we love Burlingame Ave, but we've only ever found reason to go into haf -a-dozen stores on Broadway.

356 This is such a tough question.... I'd love more clothing and shopping stores but the rents are so high I don't know 9/29/2014 7:21 AM
how a small shop can stay afloat unless they charge super high prices which I wouldn't be able to afford .... I loved
Ellie and was sorry to see them go - I'd love a jamba juice or other place for healthy variety of food/drink I'd like
the lights on the trees to work and and I'd like the businesses to work together rather than some of the weirdness
that happens among merchants I feel if some of the shops and windows were refreshed it would make a big
difference - Toy/candy shop needs a refresh - Glad to see Kim's is updating 'spa elysse' great improvements in
there business -
357 Empty storefronts being filled—there are four or five empty stores right now. It seems that Broadway could use 9/28/2014 11:00 PM
taller trees. I recognize that's there's not much sidewalk space for these. Not much can be done about the
oversized vehicles parked in such a way that it's hard to get around them—[ drive a commercial van, and I
sometimes have to wait for opposing traffic to clear to get around a parked vehicle.

shops into the empty spaces Give it the love you give to Burlingame Avenue!
Everything. New and better restaurants, better options for shopping for adults and children. Clothing/ shoes,
books, house wears.
more green/colorful landscaping
I am sad to see so many vacant storefronts. Some of the storefronts feel a bit neglected, old. Others are inviting
and warm. I think 11 Piccolo and Earthbeam are welcoming and add warmth to the street, and Broadway Grill has
given life to their section of the street.
The city needs to pay more attention to Broadway. Maintenance on the street, such as cleaning the streets, has
really decreased. It needs more neighborhood stores like a bakery, butcher and place to buy nice cards. There
should be more restaurants. The ones we have are great but more would be nice to add to the choices. There
should be more community events like the Pet Parade.
Freshen the exterior of buildings, sidewalks and parking. I would like to see less comercial trucks.
1. More unique clothing stores 2. Family friendly, pub type restaurant & bar 3. More parking
1streerscape 2. parking 3. upraded buidlings

More areas for outdoor dining.
obviously would love to have some storefronts filled- not with mani pedi shops, lit up walk ways as people cross
side to side to remind motorists to stop, how can we make safer crossings for all-
- give it a more distinct identity, for instance - "the place with vibrant family restaurants" - less through traffic -
divert some ofthe 101 traffic to increase pedestrian use - less turnover of some lease properties/stores - more
anchor businesses or restaurants

1. Get rid of the offices on the corner of laguna and broadway. 2. Add good stores like perhaps a bakery or ups
store, craft store for kids.
More restaurants/eateries.
Places to sit outside and enjoy, more places that encourage people to safely hang out. Maybe a small town park
or parklets even.
More upscale shopping or restaurants. The downtown area lacks a vibe.
More available metered parking, even a parking structure adjacent to Broadway. Brighter streetlamps on
Broadway and in metered parking lots .... do not feel safe walking in parking lots at night. Somehow slow down
traffic on Broadway - too many inconsiderate drivers. Perhaps a STOP sign or two property placed may help.
Something to attract me to the area. Discount coupons... Like a Broadway 10% off night
free parking
Dead space that has not been vacated literally for years — really appalling Dramatic difference in look/feel relative
to Burlingame Ave. — would be good to see similar upgrade in atheistic Terrible number of nail salons, etc. —
would really appreciate support that brought more restaurants and interesting retail stores to the area.
Bakery, Meat Market, Hardware store.
1. Less vacancy 2. ???
Clean the building's facades Add parking facilities 9/26/2014 4:55 PM
some anchor stores to help small retailers draw more customers, abakery, free 2 -hour parking 9/26/2014 4:46 PM
Need for a nice home/gift store that is in the medium-high end category (not too, too expensive). Some of the 9/2612014 4.11 PM
store fronts need a face lift. There is some fabulous architecture and it's hidden with ugly store fronts The building
that houses Magdalena, etc. is a HUGE eye sore. Farmer's market? I think they used to have a mid -week. Maybe
would need more marketing.
1 -Create an artisinal feel - like old parts - good bakery, butcher, cheese shop, flower shop, dessert, cafes. There
is nothing like this in neighboring towns. This would be a huge asset to Burlingame. 2 -Update the aesthetics -
more trees/plant. It looks very run dawn and seedy 3 -Take away that ugly, out of date, seedy "Broadway" sign. It
makes our beautiful town look cheap. 4- Need much higher end restaurants that people want to go to meet
friends for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks. Need higher some restaurants with fun, higher end feel - like the city.
With some outdoor dining/patios.
1. Higher quality restaurants 2. Fewer nail salons 3. Better parking
Better quality restaurants, more retail shopping, more progressive and clean.
Better selection of restaurants that families can go to on a regular basis. More comfortable seating, fair prices,
entertainment, some outside seating with cleaner streets.
The "look" of the street could certainly be updated, similar to Burlingame Ave. The street has many good
businesses, but atmosphere is more run-down rather than vibranticlean/fresh.
More parking, more food establishment choices , Free parking, more events, slow down traffic, disgusting
sidewalks, maintain parking lots, open train station for weekday service. Have free 1 hour parking for slow days a
week.
Better restaurants - would LOVE to be able to walk down for nice dinner. We eat on Burlingame Ave or in San
Mateo at least a couple of times a week. Too many not -very -nice nail and hair salons. Wouldn't mind decent ones
- go to the Ave for this. I've walked in and back out of nail places here as they don't look clean!
Easier parking, cleaner.
Clean up the buildings, better parking, better restaurants, better clothing shops . to like to see more of a mix of
chain and privately owned
1) We could REALLY use a restaurant/beer & wine place that is more upscale than Behan's & Village Host, but
less fancy than Rocca & Broadway Grill. In other words, a place to go get a beer or glass of wine, food, the family
could eat there, but a fun atmosphere for couples too. Something similar to Grapevine, or Urban Bistro, but
perhaps more like a craft brew -pub with some good food choices. 2) We need a frozen yogurt place, with later
hours. For everyone to enjoy. 3) 1 don't see how clothing stores or lighting stores are ever going to make it on
Broadway.

91262014 10:54 AM
there is a lot of push back to retailers who would like to have presence on Broadway. Strange that there is a
hesitation to allow chains come in yet there is a Subway and Starbucks? Not that I mind. I would personally like
to see more such establishments.. The small businesses are charming but there needs to be more of a reason to
shop Broadway on a regular basis. how about a larger grocery store? How are there so many empty storefronts
and ones I found random (sports memorabilia? lighting?) It would be really great to see Broadway get a major
face lift. I live so close and wish there was more to do when I strolled down he street

Unfortunately, the _quality_ of the restaurants on Broadway generally leave something to be desired - need a few
options that appeal to the younger crowd. - Would love an art house movie theater in town (if commercially viable,
not interested in a publicly subsidized one) - there aren't really any good options between Stonestown down to
Palo Alto! - Additional office space to drive traffic during weekdays, Off -the -Grid moved closer to drive
shopping/retail traffic on Thursdays.

-Better Restaurants, more retail shops, more charts. I think you can keep it quaint but it should represent
9/25/2014 9:45 PM
Burlingame in a more meaningful way. Burlingame Ave and Broadway feel like the are in two different cities. I am
not sure why we cannot get it updated like the recent Burlingame Ave product.
434
Broadway has become, in my view, Burlingame's equivalent of a decomposing beached whale that nobody
9/2512014 9:42 PM
knows what to do with. The buildings are outdated with deferred maintenance, run-down storefronts, and high
vacancy. I think Broadway concedes the big -box, big name shops that Burlingame Ave has. I envision Broadway
to have a similar feel like Chestnut Street (SF) or Union Street (again like the one in SF). Small, funky little
restaurants offering unique and fresh new variety of food, and boutiques with charming and interesting
storefronts. We're being over run with MASSAGE PARLORS AND FOOT MASSAGE PLACES. What is up with
that???? Why is the train station still vacant? Get a nice restaurant in the train depot and bring some foot traffic to
the area. what are the opportunity costs missed by continuing to leave it vacant? Several years now since Brio
left and it is STILL vacant. The hotels across the highway are brimming with travelers who'd rather not eat hotel
food, are looking for a nice place to eat, to meet and visit, to listen to some good live jazz. give them a reason to
walk over that beautiful new overpass and hang out on Broadway. Broadway Grill, Burlingame Market have
created some interest and foot traffic in the neighborhood. Village Host and Preston's also have the night idea too
by bringing in a loyal following of locals. they're neighborhood staples. Capitalize on this. Presently, this is street
has no energy or vibrancy. its an amalgamation of stores and storefronts with out any soul. It's not sure what its
trying to be. RESTORE the storefronts. the surrounding area is crawling with kids now yet there's nowhere for
families to go. Restore the storefronts. Return Broadway to its 40's and 50's charm. Focus on unique, flower
- shops, small art galleries, restaurants and entertainment that encourages the local foot traffic (including the
- thousands of hotel rooms across the highway) to enjoy a memorable cup of coffee, a lunch, a cozy dinner with
friends or a delicious desert with your little ones.

Appearance... it is "dirty." The entrance from 101 has so much potential to draw hotel patrons, yet it is ugly and
9/25/2014 8:57 PM
the purple gas station is horrible. Lots of trashy storesivenues which I will not go into. Example is the resale store
at the top, nurmerous dirty nail salons, Lars which harbor lots of drunks on weekends and nights, and the random
storefronts like the one across from Village Host. Restaurant quality is horrible compared to BUrling: me Avenue.
The only restaurant we will visit is Village Host. What about Trader Joe's ? What about Bames and Noble? What
about something like Cafe Sorter in Menlo Park? What about an open air restaurant like those on IJNiveristy in
Palo Alto?
441
(1) Retain stores that are less dated, more relevant to slightly younger shoppers (2) A wine bar that serves great
9/25/2014 8:54 PM
wines, light appetizers (the Press Club, District in SF might be good comparables) (3) A really good bakery, like
Satura Cakes in Los Altos—heck, seed they might be interested in opening a new location in Burlingame

Do Their Own Special Street Food Services (free tastings and special "street' versions of their dishes along with
music and fun for kids, etc. Parking Issue solved via offering free parking in Broadway Train Station lot and have
-
Burlingame Police Direct Traffic/Cross Pedestrians Safely Across California Ave. 2) Integration of Food Truck
Night on Broadway Ave to Help Rather Than Hinder Those Local Businesses (and invite Street Based
Businesses to put their "street food' versions of their menu items up against the Trucks (Bricks vs. Trucks Street
Food Face -Off) 3) Hold Seasonal Events on Broadway (St. Patrick's Day Celebration; Oktoberfest Halloween
Fright Festival; Winter Holiday Celebration; 4th of July Patriot's Pride, etc.) 4) MoreNisable Bike Racks to
Encourage Biking to Broadway (Bike to Broadway campaign on special nights?)

Some of the small shops I'm not sure how they stay in business, yet there are a few that are great. The sidewalks
9/25/2014 7:49 PM
could be maintained better and overall Broadway could use a facelift. The challenging part is I don't think you can
shut it down like Burlingame ave and expect the businesses to do well. There's not enough draw there yet to
keep people coming if there's an inconvenience. People enjoy family restaurants, work dinners and happy
hours... Perfect location close to the airport and hotels where visitors could frequent. There's not a fitness center
so that's great. Awnings could be upgraded, maybe the city comes in and does a good cleaning. There should be
a fun night on Broadway where restaurants can serve food and drinks and the businesses can interact. There
needs to be a good draw so maybe some live music but definitely food and cocktails.

fresh local food and Broadway could thrive if it attracted this. The mobile food trucks are showing us that there is
a demand for this. Fresh baked goods. Peel's coffee, Meat market, fish market. Look up Portland, copy that. You
have wealthy people all over the area just dying to spend in Burlingame.
463
It should be CLEAN. It is very grimy looking. Instead of the abomination that has been created on Burlingame
9125/2014 6:45 PM
Avenue and the ugly -looking Safeway complex, PLEASE hire someone who has done a decent -looking
downtown street like Main Street in Los Altos or Santa Cruz Avenue in Menlo Park or downtown Mountain View.
Hopefully whoever designed downtown Burlingame was someone's relative or paid off someone in the City
Counsel because there is no other explanation for the poor planning (eliminating parking spaces, doing the work
in three section instead of the whole street at the same time) and ugly design -work.

The turnover of restaurants and owners means we do not know what to count on for merchants. It seems it needs
9/25/2014 2:50 PM
to be more economically viable to keep consistent merchants and move up market a bit. Having more
commercial office space should improve the draw for merchants, which would mean offering more for local
residents. We need to cater to people, not cars. Economic vibrancy requires a mix of residents + businesses +
merchants.

gross) and a higher end clothing store (not like the cheapy place that was at the corner of Broadway and
Capuchino), which could be a chain store or a boutique (think J Crew, Trina Turk, or Alys Grace). Would love to
see a major facelift on Broadway, which would certainly drive more pedestrian traffic and business to it! I also
work from home and would love to have small (affordable) office space (if Broadway was a little nicer and had
more options for food, shopping, etc.).

1- restaurant that appeals to younger people (not necessarily upscale or overly trendy, but Burlingame Ave is

early on the weekends! 3- another coffee house

gathering places to go to with family or meet up with friend- e.g., La Boulange, or Alana's, Cafe Roma.
Something you might walk to as a family or with a trend. 3. Also, nice hip adult gathering places, to grab a drink
or meal w with a friend, or group of people, where you don't have to get a formal meal and it doesn't feel just like
an old fashioned "bar', . e.g., 31 st Union or Delfinos 4 -Good book store - with seatingicoffee shop. 5 -Dessert

revitalization of empty store fronts
9/25/2014 9:29 AM
527
1. More quality, sit down restaurants. Particularly I'd like to see at least one with good California cuisine - the
91252014 9:26 AM
quality of food at Broadway Bar and Grille is not good. Would also like to see other food dining options like a
larger chain with good quality- AG Ferrari Foods or Oren's Hummus (currently in Palo Alto and Mountain View).
Also, charming sit down cafes that have good ambiance and character - I do not feel what is currently there offers
this. Better quality food is sorely needed.. 2. There are some seedy stores - i.e. clothing stores that have "trampy"
looking clothing - don't want to see more of those go in on the street. 3. 1 think the landscaping is incredibly drab
and somewhat decrepit looking. It needs to be spruced up. It feels "dirty".

528
- Complete facelift - if it could be upgraded to something like Burlingame Ave., that would be great. - Get rid of a
9/25/2014 9:21 AM
lot of the junky stores, office space, miscellaneous gift shops, etc. - Add more sidewalk space - again, something
like Burlingame Ave would be very nice.
529
The stores are old, funky, not reliable hours. And the parking is terrible With the Burlingame Ave restoration, why
9/25/2014 9:07 AM
would anyone go to Broadway? The city has a great opportunity to revitalize this ave and bring in more revenue
and create jobs. What are we waiting for?

Freedom! I am opposed to limits on what kind of stores Broadway can or cannot add. I am opposed to any limits
9/24/2014 10:44 AM
on eating establishment permits. Burlingame should remove the restrictions in order to let the market decide for
itself how best to utilize Broadway. If the city government is going to place restrictions on what can and cannot go
there, then the government is to blame for the unappealing nature of the street. I believe more we1!c2pitalized
businesses will be attracted to the possibilities of Broadway if you removed all the restrictions currently in place.
Put extremely large signs in to point people to parking, and put another sign in close to Broadway -EI Camino
which matches the sign close to the railroad tracks, to bookend it.
558
Aesthetics: the general look/feel of the place are not as inviting as the Burlingame Avenue area. To be clear, I do
9/24/2014 10:10 AM
not want another Burlingame Avenue type area, but something with a different and more appealing character.

581 Too many second hand clothing shops. Would love better quality rest ---rants (I only go to Taste, Magna Luna,
and Figaro... don't like any other restaurant); not much the planning dept can do about restaurant quality. Perhaps
a preference for restaurants that offer organic meatlother choices? A juice place like Deja Vu on Burlingame
Ave? Perhaps a high quality chocolate place like Cocoabella (in San Francisco)? Maybe a regular space for Off
the God trucks to be on Broadway Avenue? A number of restaurants barely have any customers and I don't know
how they stay in business; doesn't help Broadway tax base. Maybe something special for kids in the area; we
have a 4 -year-old and there are lots of kids in the area. Sorry... more than 3 things
582 Better parking, but I know this is hard to address.
583 I'd love a good bakery, better restaurants, almost any local businesses that can thrive here. I'm concerned about

We are ardent supporters of Broadway. I would like to see more food focused, artisanal, "quality" offerings from
9/22/2014 6:59 PM
places on Broadway. The fact that the places on Broadway protested Off the Grid because it affected their
business is a huge joke to all the residents in the neighborhood. Bad businesses had no business on Thursdays
anyway. Their spite drove OTG to Tuesdays (much less convenient for the residents) and they STILL have no
business. We are looking forward to the upcoming Pilates studio and hope it drives people to Broadway. We
frequent and give lots of support to those businesses on Broadway that produce good product.

Whatever you do, do NOT go with parallel parking like Burlingame Ave. Nobody knows how to do this anymore

store/newsstand/comic book store? a creative space for kids like Scribble Me Happy, or Fire Me Up? A theater?
A hardware store?)
623
We need more restaurants and nice bars. I would like to see the streets closed once in a while and allow the
9/22/2014 10:46 AM
restaurants to serve food outside. I would like to see the Broadway Deli closed since they are never open to
actually serve the neighborhood. I would also like restaurant owners/landlords to invest in their locations. Things
like the hardware store being used for storage for another business on the street detract from the neighborhood.

1) More entertainment (bars) and restaurants, It starts to feel empty as night sets in, but not to the point that it

The parking can fill up during busy times, and we have often found ourselves walking blocks carrying small
9.'22/2014 9:06 AM
children. I know there are already many parking lots and not a lot of empty areas, so I don't know if there is an
easy solution. Also I often think that there are areas that are less well maintained on the street. It is nice to have
older established community based businesses, but some don't keep up their properties or seem to clean at all. I
also often find myself unwilling to stay in certain areas due to the number of people smoking while standing
outside businesses. I have been eating in restaurants and had my meal ruined by smoke coming in from outside.

Not worrying about driving is a huge encouragement to get a cocktail or a beer. Also, more sidewalk space might
encourage outside dining.

the two gas stations next to the Broadway sign looks unwelcoming The freeway exit looks ugly, Can use some

green trees and plants. More parking spaces
653
Better traffic flow. If a parking lot is full you have to drive around the block to get to the next lot. I'm sure that adds
922/2014 7:12 AM
traffic to the residential streets that they don't need or want. Traffic flow across the railroad tracks takes too long.
When making a tum from a side street onto Broadway, it's difficult to see traffic coming—parked cars limit viability.
654
parking can be difficult. Some trucksivans that park on Broadway stick out too far in the street and make it hard
9/2212014 6.34 AM
for 2 cars to pass. There are getting to be to many 'gently used" clothing stores. It was nice when we had Elle
_ Boutique - another clothing stare of that kind would be good.

- Most of the store fronts/facades seem dated - everything feels a little old and run down. Many store fronts could
9/21/2014 10:43 PM
use some "freshening up" (e.g., the Starbucks renovation was a nice improvement). - Would be great to see more
upscale shops and more "hip" restaurants- places that would draw people to the street, like Burlingame Ave
does. I know people who live in Burlingame and Hillsborough who have never been to Broadway. - While we
appreciate the culinary diversity on Broadway, the quality is inconsistent (some places are good and many are
not.)

Too many stores are needless I dont need all the clothes stores that budingame ave has, but more, higher
9/2112014 8:57 PM
quality family friendly restaurants and healthy quick service restaurants are needed. And everything looks
dilapidated. It needs a facelift. Lastly, the traffic can snarl on broadway between the freeway and california. Can
these be widened or somehow improved?
674
Added to the above mix is needed a couple of good clothing stores, a gift shop, perhaps a shoe store. As the
9/21/2014 8:50 PM
street is right now, it is not efficient to go to Broadway. One goes there if it's the only place to pick up a particular
thing. Broadway seems to try to develops piecemeal.... stores go out of business because there are no supporting
businesses that make a trip to the area worthwhile. A plan where several interesting shops are established at the
same time would be the seed that would be the incentive to attract more individual shops. Lots of interesting
shops would be an incentive to come and stroll/check out what's an Broadway! That's not the case now!

There's a great, small-town cute atmosphere too the District; BUT it also feels slightly... abandoned. I'm not sure
9/21/2014 6:42 PM
how to describe it. As though it used to be a hot, thriving place but has grown old and is now more sleepy and
forgotten. Driving down Broadway is a nightmare, one I avoid whenever possible. The intersection of California &
Broadway is particularly bad, though I'm not sure what I'd change to make it better specifically. Would love to see
the Caltrain station reopened, but I recognize that's not likely to happen. _

I would like for Broadway to be mare vibrant and have an allure that's more comparable to Burlingame Ave. I
think focusing an outside areas, like terraces and benches (other than the concrete half circles that are there
now) might help with this as well. Also maintenance might be an issue. Stores with better quality products would
be much appreciated and maybe more stores with things people actually need, I'm thinking about a book store for
instance or a stationery.
Better restaurants, better parking
More parking
A fresh look A different look than Burlingame Ave. Keep angled parking, and build A new parking structure.
it seems to me that the Broadway district is behind the curve. I would like to see it updated more like burlingame
ave.
Having better restaurants and shopping would draw a better crowd and make the area more attractive. I'd love to
see unique boutiques that were squeezed out of Burlingame ave have a home on broadway.
Jamba juice Burrito place
I would love to see better restaurants and a meat market so we don't have to drive to Papes. I would love more
places that offered music. I would like to see less nail places on Broadway and please, please, please make them
take down the neon signs on bath the nail places and the Broadway Grill.
Add more restaurants -similar to pizzeria delfina on burlingame ave. more upscale but still family friendly. Add
more shopping to ensure the commercial district is more lively. Shopping will ensure there is more foot traffic and
make it a fun place for me and my family

790 1) Restaurants and of low quality and variety. We would love to have good Indian food, Thai food, a good pizza
restaurant (which Village pizza is not), some low end pasta (e.g. pasta pomodoro would be awesome), good
pica, maybe a seafood place like Pacific Catch, etc - Really the only places we currently go to on Broadway are:
Starbucks (most common), Walgreens (next most common) and Wells Fargo. Occasionally we go to Presides
and very occasionally to Broadway Grill (though our friends don't like it much, which makes us go less frequently)
or Taste in Medditeranean or Magdaluna (fine burritos but super weak salsa bar, terrible tortilla chips and kind of
expensive - we usually end up ddving to La Cornets) 2) Stores are also kind of tired and not great variety. For
example, our kids (5th and 7th grade) like to be dropped off at Burlingame Ave and even Trousdale shopping ctr,
but not really ever walk to Broadway 3) In general more mid-level, family friendly destinations. Our kids are 5th
and 7th grade, as mentioned, and there is not much for them around Broadway other than Starbucks. But there
isn't much for younger kids either. A playground nearby, maybe a library, really anything that would be interesting
for kids would be great. 4) Not sure if you can change this one, so I didn't want to waste it in my top 3, but
obviously having the main route to 101 on/off ramp being right through Broadway negatively impacts Broadway
ever being a great walking, shopping and eating area
791 N/a
792 Some dean -up,
793 Generally the area seems run-down. A better variety of higher -end restaurants would be appreciated (and
frequented).
794 Wine bars, hip restaurants, juice bar, lululemon or athletic apparel, nice massage and spa, definitely great food
and drink place so it draws more people
795 Parking , of course, with access third stores from back to front or some alleys to access Broadway without walking
around the block.
796 added: hardware, stationer, book/periodical seller
797 One or two family restaurants with higher quality food (something equivalent to a pizzeria delfma), a few nicer
boutiques, better overall maintenance of the street (for example, the Bank of America ATM area is filthy and
gross!). Small gym or workout facility similar to Dethrone Basecamp or a yoga studio would also be nice
798 better restaurants, stores and ambience
799 Better parking, nicer walking experience, more inviting shops and restermants, better parking, less one way
streets, second story offcefting space (acts as built in customers) better lighting, more open feet. (Think
Santanna row in San Jose)
800 Would like to see more hangout spaces on the street— room, for example, like on burlingame ave that has chairs
and tables in front of restaurants and nice sitting areas. More greenery as well. I like the food tmcks now at
Caltrain parking area. That brings people and a fun atmosphere. Perhaps more activity could take place in that
parking lot. For example, a tai chi group class could be held there, free music events with chairs set up, or a
small stage for shakespear events, or a highschool play group, a bochie ball portable court, or a chess
tournament held there, even a spot one day a week where street artists could set up. I'd like to see activity of
some sort, perhaps a day for street artists, or something like that even right on Broadway. It would be nice to
have somewhere artists could hang out and paint or sketch and even sell right on Broadway. A theatre that puts
on plays would be great to add on Broadway. Or even a dinner theatre. Perhaps that empty building that was a
restaurant right on the caltrain line could be made into a dinner theater. But it would have to be reasonably priced,
not highend. The important thing is not to tum Broadway into Burlingame Avenue, but a smaller unique space that
hits the interests and finances of a lower financial clientelle that what Buringame caters to, Broadway doesn't
want to compete with Burlingame Avenue but be its own unique "people's" spot..
801 Less junky shops of clothing and knick knacks. There are many different types of restaurants but the actual
quality of most needs to improve. I think an anchor like a Trader Joss or Ferrari Foods would be great.
802 More clothing stores, more activities for children
803 More parking
804 More restaurants and they need to open later.
805 better selection of retail
806 Better restaurants, more hip

808 More contemporary and less run-down stores.
809 Maybe more "greening" of pathways leading from parking lots south of Broadway to Broadway. A park or parklet
somewhere nearby. Maybe a little sprucing up of some buildings (new paint and such) but not at the expense of
the small town, non -cookie cutter feel of Broadway.
810 Still too many empty storefronts; opening of Caltrain station; bring in a good bakery, and a good butcher shop;

Ifs kinda of ugly compared to Burlingame Ave
Do NOT want to add wider sidewalks. The parking lots behind the businesses are just fine. I can't think of
anything that is earth shattering that needs to be changed. Maybe free parking, i.e. no meters, like Millbrae.
1. Make it safer for pedestrians. 2. Cheaper parking meters. 3. Don't replace parking meters with those that don't
accept coins.
A better Mexican restaurant, sidewalks steam cleaned more often
More destination shopping
Currently there Is nothing over there I feel compelled to drive to. There would need to be good restaurants,
shopping or services that I cannot get on Burlingame Ave.
A good shoe store. Since this is the first street outsiders see entering Burlingame money to upgrade and
enhance should have been spent there instead of Burlingame Avenue. But keep it quaint- not just another
Burlingame Avenue.
I find the Broadway commercial district to look a little sad and tired. Although there are many nice establishments,
I don't like to see all the empty space/store fronts. I particularly miss Ellie boutique. There are stores that appear
to be very cluttered with merchandise, and not of good quality. I love to support small businesses, so I'd like to
see more on Broadway. Perhaps some container plants and flowers would help to beautify and add charm to the
street as well.
No comment
Wine bar More restaurants
Too many manicure shops Most restaurants with a few exceptions are mediocre There are still too many empty
storefronts
1. no parking meter 2. no vacancies 3.
A wider range of stores.
Better and more restaurants Better shopping - mostly second hand and oddities Removal of all the useless shops
that no one goes into and replace with better shopping. There is a deli that has never been opened, an antique
store that's never open.
More american food choices.
A trendy restaurant or two like pizza Delfina. You could also do more art galleries or craft shops. Nice to get an
Artisanal beer place and tap room. Burlingame should be planning to woo the techies and folks moving south
from San Francisco.
827 Could use a couple more special draws.
828 The look of the area needs some beautifying, and a lot of the shops sell odd, or unusual, merchandise - there's
nothing to go there for, except for the restaurants. The area feels very old fashioned, dated.
829 Parking improvements Replace 2nd hand clothing and furniture stores with restaurants or brand name
merchandise stores Renovate tired old buildings and store fronts

1.) it is pretty dumpy looking. I love the Broadway district but it has a sad and were look to it - many of the
9/20/2014 8:18 AM
buildings look run down. 2.) bring in more restaurants, and potentially some more upscale restaurants. there are
some wonderful places there (Magda Luna is amazing, the Medeterainian place next door is great, starbucks,
and Village host), but there are also a lot of places that just don't seem to appeal to many people - we often
wonder how they stay in business. 3.) Maybe have a "focus" for a portion of the businesses on the street- a
"green and healthy' focus. So merchants that support green efforts (goodwill is actually a good example of that),
and healthy eateries. Add some Vegan and Vegetarian restaurants (beyond One Se Raw). Broadway could be
know as the "healthy" vibrant place to go.

858 Modernization, better parking
859 dirty side walks, street parking, new walgreens
860 More variety of quality restaurants, quality or well -know clothing stores, Trader Joss
861 1) The space and sidewalks in general feel tight and crowded. How to change that? In front of Magda Luna and
Taste of Mediterranean, two very good and popular restaurants, there is a metal bar that blocks easy access from
the sidewalk to the restaurant entrances. Can that be removed? 2) Shops such as the Grafeo (spelling?) Leather
and the Avon, slip of a store, present a cluttered environment with their wares hanging out on the sidewalk. (The
Broadway grocery store displays their fruits and vegetables in a neat, colorful and attractive way which offers a
friendly, welcoming neighborhood feel.3) add more flowers, tree stapes. Beautify the space, make it easier to
see the shops. The space feels crowded and cluttered like Clement street in SF. The store fronts often passed by
without notice because they are bland or unattractive like Rainbow Nails.
862 Public transit. Caltrain especially during the week! More social activities.
863 The aesthetics and making it look more current like what was done on Burlingame Ave. The entrance to
Broadway from 101 looks pretty dated. Also the landscaping near the overpass looks so neglected and doesn't
seem to reflect Burlingame's character and affluence. Keeping Broadway clean, including emptying the trash
cans which are often overflowing.
864 Allow Broadway to become a district of useful needs: hair salons, barber shop,: A Dollar Store Coffee shop that
serves breakfast and lunches: Meat Market with poultry, fish .... shoe cobbler...
865 The sidewalks are Filthy! Sometimes my daughter and I will walk to Preston's for ice cream, and we will sit and eat
on the concrete benches at Broadway and Laguna. It is really disgusting to sit there and look at the dirt while we
eat. Preston's is really popular with families and it would be nice if the sealing areas on Broadway were cleaned
on a regular basis. I am a stay-at-home mother and take my daughter out for walks every day. It is difficult for
pedestrians to cross Broadway because the cars don't stop - even when I try to cross the street with a stroller. I
would like to have at least one intersection in the middle of the Broadway Commercial District with a 4 -way stop
so pedestrians can safely cross. I would add a 4 -way stop on Carmelite too; the cars go really fast down that
street which makes it difficult for pedestrians. I love the Broadway arch that extends across the street, but aside
from that the intersection of Broadway and California is not attractive and I would like to see some aesthetic
improvements to highlight this important gateway to our city. It will be difficult with the gas stations there, but I
think it is worth exploring.
866 Better restaurants and bars More retail shops (higher quality) Outdoor seating
867 Needs to be spruced up with new, exciting places to eat and shop Seems run down; can it be spruced up like
Burlingame Ave? Hold more events there to draw attention to the vendors
868 More outdoor seating Discourage through traffic for 101 access Safer bicycle access Better garbage
removal/updated recycling bin
869 1 love the feeling of our old town. Please dont change it to much.
870 Less vacant commercial prop. Would like to see Broadway closed to traffic Sunday mornings and the Farmer' s
market on middle of road there. I would go and have breakfast or lunch there while shopping.
871 Grocery store -- a Trader Joes would be amazing!
872 Movie theatre Hardware store Train station
873 Local merchants are a benefit to this area, but it needs revitalization. It has not vibe or energy. Need to fill the
storefronts with local merchants.
874 Empty spots, stores close early. Needs infusion of life!
875 1) Fewer cheap pedicure/manicure places. 2) Nicer building facades/ awnings 3) Bigger and more trees &
plantings.
876 Difficult to say. It lacks dynamism and economic vitality, but... How to transfer these words in actions?
877 More quality restaurants.

More good restaurants (not just high end) More parking( in the future)7
It seems dead and mn down Better restaurants - more family friendly and inviting
Hardware store Athletic clothing and shoe store Bakery
Having slightly wider sidewalks would be nice
More services, quick meals,
1. Have the city officials care about Broadway like they do Burlingame ave. Seems the city has neglecter
Broadway 2. More lighting at night, wider sidewalks
like Broadway the way it is for the most part. More restaurants/entertainment.
Better sidewalks
Not overly inviting. Doesn't have the feel of someplace to hang out. Seems closed off from the rest of Burlingame
Pedestrian Plaza, Better Public Transportation, outdoor business spaces.
The difficulty I find parking on Broadway is that no one will let you out unless they want your parking slot. Drivers
on Broadway are just plan rude and the shop owners are all nice. a sad situation. The shop I would most like to
have added to Broadway is a bakery. I would like more police presence on Broadway just long enough for drivers
to realize scofflaws will not be tolerated in beautiful Burlingame.
Adjacent park space A legitimate brunch -oriented restaurant Weekday Caltrain access Legitimate "destination"
stores on entrance corners (3 of 4 are currently unsightly gas stations - people can get their gas elsewhere)
Legitimate sports bar type restaurant (a la Fauliline in Sunnyvale or Rogue in Menlo) General facelift of sidewalk
areas
More San Francisco quality restaurants and shopping
would like more street fairs on broadway
Local pharmacy, not chain. Loss of Broadway pharmacy was a big negative. Hardware store
Right now though the entire street seems tired and out of date.
Bakery More outside seating at restaurants Beautification of the street in general
A good taquena. That the eastbound traffic signal be fixed. Currently when you are turning left (north) onto
California Ave., you are supposed to yield to oncoming traffic. But your light turns yellow, then red while
oncoming traffic stays green. Your natural assumption is that oncoming traffic is also seeing the yellow/red and
so should stop, and that you need to clear the intersection immediately as cross traffic is about to begin. But the
oncoming traffic keeps coming because it's still green for them. It's very dangerous. I've nearly been in an
accident and I've witnessed a couple other near misses.
I would like the construction there to be completed so patrons can have easier access to parking and
stores/restaurants.
Butcher shop
sideways parking --dangerous with the cars pulling c:�: into you all the time more shops for gifts or clothes youth
clothing would be great (teen, not baby)
The consistency of "niceness in appearance of the buildings and the street could be improved
Its actually kind of nice the way it is.
I wish they could get some tenants in and keep them. I feel there is a lot of turnover. It looks less appealing
generally when there is a lot of empty store fronts. I also wish they could update the buildings to make them look
a letter better, newer. Some places now look kind of run down, outdated. It would be nice if there was some
consistency to the look. I would also like to see them bring in another bar, something more upscale since right
now there is just the pub.
Too many hair salons better restaurants update the facade — modernize it. It looks drab and downscale. Needs
paint and new signage
Indoor -outdoor venues, better enforcement of traffic, continue holiday decorations

The empty stores and offices occupied. We def need a sushi restaurant on the ave, also all employees of
9/19/2014 8:15 PM
businesses on Broadway need to park away from the ave at some remote lot. I live just off Paloma. There is a
particular restaurant down the street that their employees take up way too many spots on Paloma.
927
Clean up street/landscaping. Clean up storefront architecture. Remodel/improve the awful architecture of the

There are many empty stores (that stay that way for months, even years). The overall feel/facade of Broadway
9/19/2014 8:13 PM
needs an update. It feels like the forgotten sibling; in comparison to Burlingame Ave. It needs to be more
contemporary (including the Broadway sign).

943 Leave it alone it is fine.
944 I have none at this time.
945 Many of the other restaurants seem outdated and not very appealing (sometimes bed of the menu, ambiance, or
both). The general appeal of the blocks isn't very nice. It is not very cohesive aesthetically from one block to the
next and there is definitely a lack of good retail stores! Oh and it could really use a great open (meaning
inside/outside) Brunch place or at the very least a place to grab bagels and coffee!
946 Really need Caltrain to resume weekday stops in order to make it a viable district. It just doesn't seem to make
sense that its a weekend -only destination. Given the choice, on the lunch hour during the week, it is much more
time -saving to have a quick lunch on Broadway where the parking is cheaper and more plentiful during that time
of the day. Also the restaurants need to stop fighting the food trucks; they are here because people want more
variety without having to fight for a parking spot near Burlingame Ave.
947 The original Broadway was more appealing. The new "direction" makes me not want to shop on Broadway as
much.
948 More modem stores, all of budingame is lacking parking, more spaces
949 More restaurants _
950 1)Old business and vacant lots with little value. 2) terrible traffic getting on/off 101. 3)we need a park or
playground for kids. Area needs to be more kid friendly.
951 Increase food / restaurant offerings.
952 The worst part of Broadway is the traffic flow because it's a main through way to 101 and it often gets totally
backed up by the light at California and the train crossing. The problems are compounded when people block
traffic to wait for a parking spaces and/or make left turns. Occasionally there are backups that even block the EI
Camino intersection. It would be nice to see a bit more attention/funds contributed to maintaining the landscaping
- while there are planters the plants are mostly dead or nearly dead!
953 Better quality stores or for it to be known as aplace to go for XYZ. If it's a dining destination, new, and more
contemporary, restaurants, bars and cafes. Broadway needs revitalization, and for the store fronts to be linked
aesthetically. Certain areas like the front of Wells Fargo and the strip of stores that houses Magdalunas are ugly
(though Magdalunas is a fabulous place to eat!). Existing restaurants should be encouraged to'freshen up' both
their decor and their menus. Parallel parking would make the sidewalk and street appear more open and
spacious.

X911912014 6:11 PM
are we at a tipping point? Decent hardware store Restaurants are about the right number but only a few are worth
returning to. Folks like Prestons but it is dated and in my view and my last visit the ice cream looked melted and
unappealing. Can we move one of the yogurt joints over from the Ave? A pub that did not smell, a place to stop
for a drink. Brio had a nice barto hang out at.

- less junk shops better and more parking for the handicapped restrict commercial trucks during daytime/early

1) Curb appeal needs to improve. Some things seem easy—if the store is unused, encourage the front windows
9/19/2014 5:38 PM
be covered over. Plant some trees. Perhaps more difficult to get done, the signs with store names need to be
better looking, many are old and weather-beaten, And obviously, a complete cosmetic re -do like was done on
Budingame Ave would be amazing 2) Access to 101 should not be directly through Burlingame Ave. It is too busy
and congested a street to accommodate a vibrant duster or shops and restaurants 3) More restaurants
989
1 would like to see more "Mom and Pop" stores, like a stationery store. I would like to see the old Hardware store

1) Limit the number of nail salons! If one goes out of business, do not allow another one to replace it. There are
9/19/2014 5:32 PM
simply too many given the limited number of commercial spaces. 2) Improve the landscaping around the trees
and stares. Earthbeam has done a wonderful job in that regard. 3) Consider re-establishing the Farmers Market
on Capuchino. Off the Grid has done a greatjob of getting residents out and about.

BROADWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SURVEY
Need a larger grocery store that can serve the community and patrons doing business in the area.
Consider making the street pedestrian only; add parking structures; widen sidewalks like Burlingame Avenue
Stop the commercial stores..... Who needs a Pilates studio on the corner? All the property owners need to stop
raising rents and stop driving out the smaller stores!!
The street is a major thorough fare into Burlingame. As soon as you get off the freeway all you see is car
dealerships and the gad awful rusty 'Broadway' sign. The street looks shabby, old, ran down. It needs a face lift.
It is such a major intersection of the town and it's just not attractive period.
Less Traffic More parking space More main theme and decoration , especially the sign of "welcome to Broadway
" is out dated
More diverse stores easier parking fewer empty store fronts
More parking
More bars and restaurants. A hardware store would be nice. Another general store in addition to Walgreens
would be nice.
1, Fewer Nail salons 2. Do not close the Capucino Post Office 3. More than one florist shop
Better shops. Better quality restaurants. Broadway at California Dr. - an absolute nightmare, total pain to cross.
Backs -up very easily, trains, etc, ...and YES, I know you have plans to build a new overpass. But not completed
until 201699? 1 think I read this ... this should be done within 12 months in my mind In

- There are some strange, cheap -looking locally -owned boutiques/shops. This would be OK if there were more
9/19/2014 4.32 PM
mainstream, higher -end locally -owned shops, but we don't seem too have many of those on Broadway. A few of
the boutiques are cringe -worthy. There was a store called Ellie (I think) that closed. It had a higher -and look than
most of the remaining boutiques, so that was a shame. The "Broadway Avenue" sign that overhangs the
Broadway/Califomia intersection needs to be replaced with something attractive, as it is an eyesore. I understand
the sign has history, but that is far outweighed by how junky it looks. Much like curb appeal for a home, updating
the Avenue's entrance could create a much more appealing experience. Improving that one element could
improve the entire feel of the Avenue, distinguishing the walking/shopping section of Broadway Avenue from the

Many of the stores are outdated and don't offer products that appeal to our younger family. We do walk to
9/19/2014 4:32 PM
Broadwalk for coffee at II Picolo or occasionally for lunch, but there are few other stores that keep us shopping
there. I would love to see some independent, trendier stores.

In general, I would like to see the Broadway Commercial District replicate the Burlingame Avenue District in
9/19/2014 4:29 PM
every way but on a smaller scale. Parking structures at the existing parking lots on Chula Vista and Capuchin
would be beneficial.
1060
One or two more nice (or at least sit -dawn type) restaurants, rather than mostly quick service restaurants.

1062 Dont like the angle parking Hard to see the stores Too many 1 way streets, so hard to circle around
1063 A little more attention to our street maintenance and the beauty of Broadway. People often comment that
Broadway is the stepchild to Burlingame Ave. That street seems to get the most attention.
1064 Retail
1065 Parking is always a problem and it changes our choice of where to go to eat Disturbed that I received a ticket for
parking over a white line when every other vehicle was parked over the lines also including the cop car. Some
spaces cut at weird angle. I think that is now resolved, at least on Burlingame Ave but it's annoying; just trying to
make revenue. Come on Would like a chipolle
1066 No more smoke or alcohol shops. We liked the hardware when it was there We would also use a co center

stationary, or office supply store!
While there is variety, it's pretty low quality. The only places of value to me and my family are the bank, village
host, Starbucks, Broadway Prime and Earth beam. The storefronts are poorly maintained, most signs/awnings
are old, window displays look dusty and unkept, and (aside from Rocca and Broadway Prime) the restaurants are
terrible. If Broadway Merchants wants to maintain a more'mom and pop store' feel to Broadway, they need to
look to Ban Carlos' Laurel Avenue and the quality establishments they attract and standards they maintain.
The whole area needs a serious facelift and greater uniformity among storefronts. It would be beneficial to the
street if traffic related to 101 were actively routed away from the street (if there is a way) to reduce auto traffic.
Excess auto traffic is the number one problem in my opinion
More senior discounts, downtown parking and pedestrian only days, affordable supermarkets that include local,
organic, and ethnic gourmet foods.
Less vacancies
Heavy traffic during commute, weekend hours Some specialty store seem tired, past their prime More trees, a
taqueda
More variety in stores, some kind of an anchor restaurant that would be a major draw, can't think of a third thing!
...More parking
Additional food options - a true taqueria, dessert speciality shop, deli More retails options Additional open hours

The lower end of Broadway, toward California Ave, feels sadder than the upper and. Why is that? There's 9/19/2014 4:20 PM
certainly a 1950s -1960s era building on the south side currently housing the best Mexican restaurant on the
peninsula, Magda Luna, and a great Middle Eastern restaurant (both locally owned), but that building is an
eyesore. It completely cuts off the flow and I couldn't be more happy that those two restaurants are making it
work. Not too useful for your survey, I understand, but it does point to the lack of design oversight and aesthetics
in the area.
1076 _ cleaner
1077 more parking spaces
1078 Better restaurants. The restaurants now are dated and not appealing. Better traffic flaw. More family oriented.
1079 New restaurants, widen sidewalks and switch to parallel parking (like Burlingame Avenue), sidewalk seating
1080 Additional restaurant options. Larger scale office space would be useful as well.
1081 Updated store fronts Nicer stores Wider sidewalks
1082 Remove cars and create a pedestrian mall Free parking Smarter traffic control at California entrance
1083 Wider selection of stores, more casual food options.
1084 fewer empty stores

1086 The whole place needs to be upgraded - the pavements, the parking, the stores. It all feels very old and not well
maintained.

Foot traffic is now so great its an hazard. Pedestrians overcrowd the sidewalks and walk right out in front of cars
9/19/2014 4:15 PM
which are in motion. I've seen vehicles legally begin to make turns and pedestrians (although in crosswalk) don't
allow them to complete the tum and just walk out in front of them; the near -misses are scary.
1089
- better restaurant options better flow of cross streets and broadway. can be confusing what is one way which

1. A common gathering area for residents to meet. 2. 1 think Burlingame Avenue should have been closed off (no
9/19,2014 4:09 PM
car access) and used Howard as the main thorough fare (to compliment the Safeway area). While Broadway
could do the same, it is harder because it is an artery to the freeway. 3. Keeping the streets clean.
1101
How about some sitting areas like in Paris. Tables with checkers/chess boards How about trying some recycled
9/19/2014 4:08 PM
materials in benches and art, something to get someones attention. Something to make someone stop and look.
Maybe some wall art. How about a book exchange? Maybe an over the top little free library?
http://Iittlefreelibrary.org/ How about trim the trees, give them shape. And while I am thinking of it, the signage is
not very goad, if your in a car the U-turn signs are random. Hay, maybe a drinking fountain, now that's something
you don't see everyday. How about a certain days allow sidewalk signs for the shops. Clone a side street and
allow a restaurant to have a "street dinner' kinda like Belden place in the city. Was that more then three?
1102
Updated (more hip) stores. Updated fagade/planters for trees (Broadway seems like a dinosaur to me) Wider

It is out dated. The store fronts are not inviting. Not walkable. Such a huge miss since so many people live so
9119/2014 4:05 PM
close by. With all the great neighborhood areas (San Carlos, Downtown Burlingame Ave) I don't understand why
Broadway is so old and dated.

1.Parking for residents whom live on Broadway is neatly impossible, with out having to park many blocks away.
9/19120144:04 PM
Permit parking for residents... 2. Regulations of no bicycles on sidewalks enforced, on Broadway. People still do
this frequently. 3. Regulations on how large of a vehicle may park on Broadway. Often, large trucks park here,
stick out into the street snarling traffic.

Broadway small and local and affordable so we can promote local people to open businesses in this area.

Parking, more commercial variety (book store, microbrewery, indoor/outdoor cafe with room for kids to run

1133
Eliminate the packing meters. Actually, I might suggest removing traffic along Broadway completely or on
9/19!2014 3:59 PM
sections and have people park on adjacent areas and drive around the area when trying to get to other
destinations. This would promote it more as a social destination and walking location.

1. 1 like the shopping, but would appreciate more variety, especially upscale options (only slightly more so —
9/19/2014 2:04 PM
something better than the many thrift stores, but not necessarily high-end national chains) or appealing to a wider
range of age groups, such as teens. 2. Wider sidewalks might encourage people to "hang out" mare. Especially if
there were more options for outdoor cafes. 3. Gourmet specialty food shopping such as farmer's market, butcher,
bakery, cheese shop would all get me to the neighborhood more.
1171
During the warm months, Burlingame Ave should be shut down and restaurants should be invited to put tables in

Remember not to cater to people who frequent the Ave.- remember that a little over 50% of residents are renters

which tells you what people are looking for is cost effective but not cheap! I like the hometown feel of Broadway

crossing.

1 have lived within walking distance of Broadway since 1977. overall, the street has such a nice, neighborhood,
10/18/2014 9.51 AM
- local character. there are a few great local businesses, a lack of name brand retail, which is good. however, that
eclectic mix of uses that existed in 1980, has deteriorated over the years: it has been increasingly difficult for
businesses to keep their doors open. there is not enough feet traffic for retail to be successful, unless it is a
destination oriented retail use. (a shop that you already know about and go them specifically for that) I don't
believe the parking to be the major problem, I think it's more an issue of there needing to be exciting stores, or
things that will bring people to the street. once there, there are not enough other uses to make you want to walk
the street. there could be more street-ariented activity, like it piccolo's outdoor seating, rocca's outdoor tables,
the mexican restaurant's tables. then there is that architecturally horrible strip retail building where the mexican
restaurant is located- where the gas station used to be years ago. this street historically was service-oriented. it
has lost that variety that It once had. unbelievably, I once counted 22 restaurants between at Camino and
califomia drive. it doesn't seem like it- most of these I would never go to. but amazing that there are so many. I
think the issue is not necessarily needing more food, it's needing BETTER restaurants. that's not possible to
legislate, but it is important to encourage it good retail usually only works when there's good foot traffic.
Broadway has always been car -oriented, because of the access to 101. there should be an encouragement to get
more pedestrian uses- encourage foot traffic, make places for people to be. the "beautification" project from some
years ago didn't really do anything to encourage that. I'm not against more restaurants- that seems to have been
an issue, but there really needs to be an encouragement for a variety of retail uses. less nail salons, less
financial, etc. I miss the local hardware store and the old broadway market. the old mom & pop is gone, but the
city can encourage and help promote that same sense of localness that still exists with some of the businesses.
there is a possibility to really promote the local nature of Broadway- the "natural" downtown.

restaurants, and beauty salons.

Broadway has so much potential. Many of us feel that Burlingame is the place to go to shop—somewhat like
10/162014 7:13 PM
mall; but Broadway is where we go to "live"; go to weeknight dinners, grab a pint at Behans, take the kids to buy
ice cream, etc. It's the "folksy main street" feeling many are looking for—a place to go with family and friends that
is more laid back.
63
Offer incentives for building owners to keep rents lower to attract businesses. Make food and wine permitting
10/16/2014 7:10 PM
easier for new restaurants to come to any broadway commercial space (not just previous restaurants)
64
If we are able to improve the quality of merchants on Broadway, how will we ensure that they thrive and stay?

Broadway is hat home town feeling I have here !!!

it is strange how many businesses fail to thrive. Many locations have been vacant for a very long time. One
10116/20141:33 PM

While I appreciate the list of options for hair and nail places, it also feels like there are almost too many of them or
10/14/2014 7:56 AM
anytime we see a new business open up, its almost always a new hair or nail place (or a "spa" that also perform
one or both these same funo8ons). There was one such business that recently closed and part of me wonders if
it had anything to do with a possible "glut" of such businesses in this area? Another issue I have is that I would
love to see the Broadway area remain affordable—periodically, I've seen complaints because it's "not Burlingame
Avenue" or doesn't cater toward a highei crowd (again, like Budingame Avenue), yet the reality that rarely
seems to get brought up or mentioned is that there is a significant number of us living in Burlingame who are not
well-off or are on the poor side or may live off a fixed income (as is often the case with the eldedy/senior citizens,
but certainly not limited to them) and while most of us shop in the Broadway area because it's more convenient or
in closer proximity to where we live (and because we just prefer it as there are many wonderful businesses along
it we want to support!), it's sometimes also because even those living near Burlingame Avenue living in such
financial circumstances simply can't afford to eat or shop there anymore (with the ironic exception of some chains
along there). If that changes with the Broadway area, we may be forced to have to take our business elsewhere
to another city given that as much as we may want to support our local businesses, if they become too expensive
or start catering toward a wealthier crowd to where we get anted out, we may not have any other choice. As it is,
there's something of an ongoing joke about Burlingame Avenue and that—about how not only can we forget about
it (either largely due to the pricing or just some of the stores there and their targeted clientele), but how it actually
seems to be catering more toward the Hillsborough crowd (and to heck with the rest of us not as well-off living in
Burlingame). I don't want to see the same thing happen to the Broadway area! Some of us have. many fond
memories of shopping and eating in the Broadway Commercial District going back to childhood and of the
businesses that were and sometimes still are there and have been for many years or decades. While I very much
want to see greater occupancy of currently vacant or long vacant spaces (and that includes the Caltrain Station)
and a greater variety of businesses along Broadway, it shouldn't have to be at the expense of those of us less
fortunate—in other words, I'd prefer not to see it become as gentrified as what we're seeing in cites like San
Francisco, but continue to retain what makes the Broadway area so special and makes it actually feel like a
neighborhood commercial district should (one that many newer developments are ironically trying to emulate).

like Downtown San Mateo: Seemingly one big food -court. More like Burlingame Avenue, or Downtowns San
Carlos and Los Altos: Non -shopping mall stores offering diverse services; ambience is lively and welcoming at
any time of the day!
95
In general, it would be great to upscale, attract business and higher end clientele in order to bring in stable
1 011 012 01 4 10:40 PM
revenue, while still maintaining a small town feel for families. (Less chains, more unique and diverse). Also keep
great lighting and add benches, to encourage kids and families to spend more time beyond quickly picking up a
prescription or dry cleaning.
96
The Broadway shopping area looks neglected and dated. I like the charm of an older town, but this in not the right
10/10/2014 1:16 PM
kind.
97
It's hard to find the right balance between quaint and appealing. Unfortunately, a lot of the quaint businesses are
1 0/1 012014 12:23 PM
- old, family-owned ones that are dated, messy, not maintained (Preston's notwithstanding). Would be great to
have a commercial building that attracts tech startups who don't want to be in SOMA, but without the train service
during the week I'm not sure how well that would work. There is definitely a need between SOMA and PA for such
spaces.
98
This city is fortunate to have two sides of the coin with Broadway and Burlingame; one brings in revenue from the
10/10/2014 12:06 PM
corporate chains and shoppers and one provides revenue from local business owners and a real sense of
community and continuity. We lost a lot of business when the train station closed on weekdays and we need the
support of the City to encourage people to use Broadway businesses.

1. Should really make this a commutty "hub" for families with easy walking and biking access to get there.
10/9/2014 135 PM
Actually, there needs to be a better bike trail, dedicated bike path, all the way from West of ECR to Bayside.
Doesn't need to be straight dawn Broadway, maybe use Lincoln/Grove or another side street, with easy side -path
to Broadway. 2. Love the energy at Off the Grid Tuesday, with people hanging out. Need that energy, aspect
(hanging out) on Broadway on the weekends and other times. Create reasons for people go there, and be
comfortable while there. 3. You really need to expand your "restaurant" category. i.e. prestons, it piccolo,
starbucks, village host, behans, rocs, etc. are not all the same food/snack/drink type places. Working families on
weekdays are not likely to go to traditional restaurants every week, especially M -Th. But we are likely to get
Takeout, or something fast, i.e. Panda Express or Pizza My Heart. Part of the reason OTG is successful
Tuesday nights. And even if I am doing takeoutipickup, it encourages me to go to a location where I might cross
paths with others and interact. Plus, 12-18 kids are more likely to frequent those places. Just image ff Preston's
had more than 2 tiny benches. Your question about "eating out in a restaurant" is way too narrow. I consider
picking up donuts at Royal Donut, sandwich from Bonne Sante, or pizza from Village Host also "eating out" even
if I'm taking it home, but I answered your question from a narrower/stricter "eating out there". Need more casual
Magdalena, Taste of Mediterranean, and also 'bigger' than they currently are. and fewer Broadway Grill or
Rocca. Those are dead holes on the street except for Fri/Sat dinner.

136 Broadway is old and tired, not young and vibrant like nearby families. Limit redundant merchants so the ones that

are here thrive. Many storefronts have been vacant for years and should be realistic about their leases. Some
buildings need paint and repairs.
137 I've lived off Broadway for 28 years and seen it grow quite a bit in that time. Good neighborhoods, convenient to
10/7/2014 10:10 AM
shops,101 and the airport, As it's grown the area has become more congested with traffic, parking issues, noise
and garbage thrown in your front yard. Recent parking changes on my block has forced residents to buy a permit
- to park in front of their own homes (if you can find a spot). I realize this is the price you pay to live close to
shopping but it sometimes seems like the City is more interested in pleasing the business owners than the
residents.
138 Broadway is the labor side of town and the ave is the glitter side of town
139 Broadway is great for the local community please do not make it commercial office space - keep the small
businesses and a fun place to hang out and bump into neighbors. thank you
140 1 live 2 blocks off Broadway and walk there frequently.
141 most restaurants are low quality bar is low class and brings trouble
142 Sometimes parking is OK but in the evening for dining it is difficult and forces me to eat elsewhere. The cost of
meters has risen a lot for fewer minutes of parking time. Parking is convenient WHEN parking is available. Since
I hear parking doesn't bring in big money why are we charging so much. It was so nice at the holidays to be gifted
with free parking for the season.
143 perhaps the city could hire a person to water plants, pick up trash, do odd errands for store owners, etc,; Perhaps
2-3 x a week.
144 Glad to See Pilate Prowork coming.
145 Broadway cannot expect to compete with Burlingame Ave or other downtown areas in its current tattered state.
We don't need an apple store but we do need a reason for more people to visit Broadway.
146 Do something about motorists turning left from north bound EI Camino to west bound Broadway. Better signage
or separate green lights for each direction at the intersection.
147 Get rid of those handle bars in front ort Magdaluna & Taste In
148 Broadway is in dire need of a facelift
149 Parking lots need paving & cleaning. Trash needs to be picked up and sidewalks cleaned really cleaned.
150 More young people friendly - bars, entertainment, clothing stores, etc
151 - We need to improve the quality
152 The sidewalks are very dirty.
153 1 wish it had the vibe and sophistication of Burlingame ave
154 It would be very nice to see this pact of the downtown improved in d meaningful way.
155 1 live walking distance to Burlingame Ave so ti's hard to want to go to Broadway for anything
156 - 1 WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR RESTAURANTS. MORE EVENTS ON
BROADWAY LIKE STREET FAIRE, WINE WALK, HALLOWEEN PARADE AND WHATEVER BRINGS PEOPLE
TO BROADWAY. I would also like to see what the chamber of commerce does for Broadway. they should show
the city the breakdown of money they have spent on broadway marketing the downtown. The chamber takes
public money and only spends on chamber members. The Burlingame trolley which is subsidized by many
groups should have one directory for the driver to give away to passengers. The budingame ave has one and if
broadway make one also, which directory will the passengers look at. Have a several page directory with both
downtowns. The chamber only cares about Burlingame Ave. The broadway alley ways are filthy. I believe the
sidewalk should be pressure washed twice a month. Broadway is very dark at nights. the broadway acorn light
post should have beautiful planters. trim trees in commercial area once a year so the store front and business
signs are not blocked. place better parking directional signs. The street corners should have more colorful
Flowers.

BROADWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SURVEY
The potential for Broadway is huge. Would love to see the city create the opportunity for competition to come in
on the restaurant front and create a warn friendly safe environment for all the families in the area to come and
enjoy (as well as spend their money)
Honestly, some parts of Broadway feel very run down and kind of sad looking, with old faded signs, etc. Looking
forward to a good dialogue and more investment in the district.
BRING KINKO'S TO BROADWAY
Not related to Broadway, but the City needs to get serious about increasing availability of parking in/around
Budingame Ave.
Broadway district looks rundown, which is not representative of Burlingame.
Integrate areas around California Ave into the plan, to make it more walkable on the approach to Broadway.
In support 8 in fairness to every restaurant on Broadway, I would like the the food trucks removed from the
Broadway. Broadway needs a multilevel parking structure.
I've grown up in Burlingame and always loved Broadway.
Na
Businesses on Broadway are more about protecting what they have then trying to improve and offer more. It's
more about roadblocks then fostering a local grassroots environment. Burlingame Ave seems more commercial
and large companies. Broadway should be attracting stores like Five Monkeys and other local shops
more/better marketing might help
168 - Glad to hear you're interested in improving this area.
169 1 find the environment generally dirty and depressing. The sidewalks are filthy, paint is peeling many places, the
awning is shredded at the former hardware. The landscape is not well maintained. There are many dead plants
and or empty planters. Shops like Starbucks and the fruit market always are well maintained. The street looks
festive with the lights on the trees and when special events call for the district flags and holiday banners.
Broadway Grill is another business with a friendly and well maintained atmosphere.
170 Huge untapped opportunity to make it better!
171 1 love Broadway and the feel of the street - I'm not sure what the right mix of shops are but I am very passionate
about Broadway being a useful street for us to frequent - I like the street scape and the trees are growing - it is
going to be so shaded and beautiful -
172 1 see Broadway as depending on more mom-and-pop types of businesses, as opposed to Burlingame Avenue,
where trendy clothes stores and eateries are franchises. These Broadway businesses are not being replaced
when the original owners retire or get priced out. Stores like the candy stores are on the old-fashioned side, and
may disappear when the current owners decide to retire. It's harder for Broadway to be dynamic when !Vs living
more in the past.
173 Broadway is a main artery for Burlingame and right now its an eye sore We LOVE the idea of Broadway and
walk to it weekly- however we just go to either Starbucks (which now looks great!) or in the summer, Prestons for
Ice Cream.. And for Chase and the post office. We would really love to be able to dine in a good restaurant and
need some good shopping!
174 : If you are going to keep the food trucks, they should be made to pay their fai, share, including paying for traffic
control officers and cleaning up.
175 Broadway has been treated like a stepchild historically, financially and by City planners.
176 1 wish it were like Burlingame Avenue. Then I would walk there from my home. We just drive to Burlingame
avenue to eat and shop. Broadway has the potential to thrive if we let it. Old restaurants and stores that are not
doing well have to go. There needs to be more marquee stores. Give people a reason to come. And create
parking for the increased traffic.
177 Please do not spend a lot of money on that project.keep it simple but nice.please do not copy Burlingame
ave,way overdone
178 It's already hard to tum to Broadway from Carolan ave because of railroad crossing. Electrification and adding
more Caltrain traffic will make this tum even worse. Many storefronts look outdated.

Great initiative. Broadway is an important asset. Currently, it feels a bit tired. It could become a truly vibrant
9/27/2014 12:17 AM
business entertainment district for those seeking an alternative to the more precious Burlingame Avenue. In
particular, it's restaurant, coffee shops and bar offerings could help turn it into a very lively attraction, with
intersting stores and non- traditional venues surrounding it It would need a more distinct identity other than the
"mom and pop shop alternative to Burlingame Avenue". We have three young children, live between Burlingame
Av and Broadway, and over the years we hope and look forward to patronizing a vibrant business community
around Broadway.
180
With the advent of the food trucks, I now NEVER go to Broadway on Tuesday afternoons/evenings because there
9/26/2014 9:07 PM
is NO available parking - it stinks, especially since our city receives very little benefits, monetary and otherwise,
for the great inconvenience it causes residents and local eateries. I have to wonder if there was some sort of
"under-the-table" shenanigans ($$$$$) involved!! :-(((((
181
1 live closer to Burlingame Ave. I like the restaurants on Broadway better, but choose convenience. I mostly go for
9/26/2014 8:11 PM
the thrift and consignment shops. Other than AI's Cafe!

Broadway has been overshadowed by Budingame Avenue and it is time that some energy, resources, and

Make sure no 7-11 stores, no more liquor stores
9/26/2014 3:13 PM

Broadway is a success waiting to happen. It just needs a bit more commitment from quality vendors and a bit of a
9/26/2014 2:36 PM
modernization effort.
188
Broadway seems really down-market with failing business and junky stores. I'm sure it could be the successful,
9/26/2014 1:33 PM
thriving area the community would love.
189
Would love to see some upgrades to the sidewalk, similar to Burlingame Ave.
9/261201412:30 PM
190
Remember, there was Broadway beautification several years ago, bump outs, new planters. i don't expect the big
9/26/2014 12:09 PM
stores to be on Broadway, but it's nice to have local services. why do so businesses fail on Broadway? are the
rents too high? or is the market working? are the landlords gouging businesses forcing failure? or just bad
planning by the business, or bad luck?
191
The speeding traffic is a huge problem. Folks won't even let parkers back out. Someone was struck a few Sat.
9/26/2014 11:14 AM
ago in the morning crossing Broadway. Too many cars going way too fast.
192
Enforce the "NO U-TURNS" ordinance. Find appropriate tenants for the vacant areas.
9/26/2014 11:01 AM
193
Why the moatorium on restaurants. Seems a little one sided compared to Burlingame ave. also the same. Applies
9/26/2014 10:57 AM
to the street upgrades and now the wise city council offers more upgrades to the same part of town
194
The new gym is going to create congestion with bad double parkers, etc. Will be important to make sure this new
9/26/2014 10:54 AM
business advises their clients appropriately and parking enforcement is out in full force. That said. I am excited to
see something mainstream come onto Broadway. Creates more reason to walk down the street.
195
So glad to see this survey!

love the grocery stores, restaurants and bank being there. And the coffee cafes. We go to II Piccolo every day-
9126/2014 9:10 AM
it's our destination when we walk the dog. Love having b -fast there.
197
The sidewalks are filthy, especially at those comer seating areas. Why doesnt The City clean those regularly? I
9/2612014 8:59 AM
see a fellow spraying Burlingame Avenue's sidewalks in the morning... why is Broadway always treated
differently.
198
1 love having Broadway as a small, community -oriented commercial district. However, 1 do think it's quite
9/26/2014 8:04 AM
- important for Burlingame that downtown to maintain the critical mass of traffic to be a vibrant commercial district. I
- wonder whether there's enough demand for a second large downtown. I'd rather have 1 large and 1 minor
commercial area, vs. 2 medium-sized ones that both fall below critical mass.

It'd be great to see the Broadway area be more vibrant, but I have to admit I don't have any specific suggestions
9/25;2014 8:29 PM
on how to do this, other than more restaurant and store options of interest to the local neighborhood residents (vs.
going to Burlingame Avenue).
208
Wife and I used to live near Old Town Alexandria. It was also less "corporate" and it seemed to work. Nice place
9/25/2014 8:08 PM
to walk. Maybe somehow distinguish Broadway from Burlingame Ave?
209
Time to show Broadway based businesses that they are vital to our community and to utilize the versatility that
9/25/20148:07 PM
Broadway has to offer to bring our community together in new and meaningful ways
210
Please give this street a facelift. It's stuck in 1971, and with all the money in Burlingame it's ridiculous and makes
9/2512014 7:51 PM
those that are making the decisions in the city look lazy or incompetent
211
Broadway needs some love. The residents love it and everyone I know wants to frequent it more but they are
9/25/2014 7:49 PM
saying the same thing as I am. Get some good destination places there, help clean it up and freshen it up and
host some fun events w food, cocktails and entertainment. You will see the city residents rally, I'm sure of that
212
If it was built up similar to burlingame avenue I would go there far more often
9/25/2014 7:11 PM
213
Tenants and owners need to work together instead of causing trouble
9/25/2014 7:07 PM
214
Burlingame Ave has the high end stuff. WE want the cool stuff. I know that it is hard to start that vibe from scratch
9/25/2014 6:55 PM
but someone who is creative can do it. Shut down the road once in a while invite people to come down and put
the food trucks on Broadway. Have people mingle, talk. Put a craft beer garden behind a restaurant. There are
many friday nights that we want to walk to Broadway and eat and spend. Most of the eating places are just so
dated and behind the times. Look at Bon Sante, they put in the effort to make a honest product and people flock
to it.
215
Just don't make it look like Burlingame Avenue and hire someone with some talent instead of just connections.
9/2512014 6:45 PM
216
Change the traffic pattern so it's not a thoroughfare to 101
9/25/2014 6:33 PM
217
Seems ridiculous that there is no free parking for the street. San Carlos knows what they're doing. I'll go out of my
9/252014 6:32 PM
way to go there not because parking is free but because I know I won't get a steep ticket if my meter express 30
seconds before I get back to my car.
218
Our family has lived in Burlingame since 1961. 1 did raise my family in Redwood City, when I ret'd about 9 years
9/25/2014 6:01 PM
ago (after my folks passed) I could not believe the change in Burlingamel What happened to the "small town"
feeling?
219
It's my neighborhood shopping district and I'd love to see a more updated feel to it.
9/25/2014 5:11 PM
220
SAN CARLOS' Laurel Street corridor should be the model for Broadway very few national chains, but much
9/2512014 3:38 PM
higher end boutiques, restaurants and shops. The age and quality of the local shops on Broadway keep it from
being a destination shopping/dining area even for local residents.
221
While we live very close to Broadway, we find we spend most of our time when shopping / eating an Burlingame
9/25/2014 3:08 PM
Avenue. There are just more compelling places on Budingame Avenue. I think of Broadway as mostly a bunch of
Mom and Pop stores, with not much to generate interest / traffic. It is sort of like the chicken and the egg in that
most retailers would rather be on Burlingame Avenue because that is where the action is. Maybe if there was a
Poet's store in addition to the Starbucks, that could be a centerpiece for traffic, which could end up attracting
more compelling retail. Losing the restaurants at the Broadway Train Station was a big loss — that is kind of cool
spot there.

Burlingame needs co -working spaces. So many people work from home on start-ups or independent work, and
9/25/2014 2:50 PM
would benefit from temporary office spaces. Burlingame planning needs to work with citizens to resolve whether
we are an edge city, an urban area, or a rural area. It makes a different. My sense is most older residents think
this is a rural area — lots of big cars, park wherever you want, drive to the box stores. That is not sustainable in
my opinion.
223
Please do not have special events — they serve only a special interest and penalize the majority.
9/2512014 2:42 PM
224
- Please update this street. 1 drive by it every single day to go to Bgame Ave and San Mateo because they have a
9/2512014 2:33 PM
- much nicer feeling and better shops.
225
- 1 love having local options and try to patronize local establishments. I miss having Dolan's hardware store (similar
9/25/2014 1:27 PM
in scale to Ace hardware on Lorton avenue).
226
1 love broadway, but the street needs a face lift. Many awnings are tom and the side walks are a bit narrow.
9/2512014 12:40 PM
227
We love Broadway but it just feels tired, dated and dirty. It's also lined with traffic at key times which makes it
9/25/2014 12:13 PM
dangerous to pedestrian, children, dogs etc. No one stops for crosswalks.
228
1 think there is so much potential for Broadway and it is within walking distance for many of us with children
9/25/2014 11:33 AM
which is great. Please help revive this great streetf! r)
229
Broadway is no Burlingame Ave. I'm tired of vacant storefronts. Also, we don't need more massage/naillhair
9/25/2014 11:09 AM
shops on Broadway! It's an odd assortment of shops that I often walk by but never go into.

1 think Broadway has some good stores and services but too much of the same kind of stores. While its nice to
9/2512014 9:34 AM
have small ethnic restaurants, nail salons, second hand clothes, we have a lot of the same kinds of stores and
not enough of other stores/eateries that would round it out. It would be nice to add things that would allow people
to shop/roam and make it more of a basic shopping place (good produce - like Deans, books, dessert, interesting
drinks like TPumps) as well as restaurants (e.g., La Boulange, 31st Union, Delfinos, etc.) that allow it to be more
of a gathering place for families and groups (people meeting up for meetings, going out for friends birthdays,
having nice lunch with a friend), etc.
233
For those that live in the North side of Burlingame, would be nice to be able to walk to the Broadway downtown
9125/2014 9:26 AM
and have higher quality like we do on Burlingame Ave.
234
1 would be very supportive of some changes to this street. This has been a long time coining...

Instead of the police waiting for cars to run red lights on California and Broadway, it would be nice to see foot
9/25/2014 8:26 AM

237
1 like having Starbucks and Wells Fargo on Broadway. It would be nice if we had a yougurt shop or a jamba juice.
9/25/2014 8:13 AM
238
Please invest in broadway-seems so unfair that it gets no love, when burlingame ave is so much bigger and so
9/25/2014 7:26 AM
much better funded.
239
One would not think Broadway ave and Burlingame ave reside in the same town. It doesn't look as nice nor does
9125/2014 7:17 AM
it have the same caliber of tenants. It's much more enjoyable on Burlingame ave, and has been for years, even
before the renovations. We need to attract retailers to broadway.

There is untapped potential for Broadway to become more thriving
9/25/2014 7:11 AM

Broadway feels like the forgotten downtown. It has it's own local feel that I would love to see preserved while

245
Look at California Ave in Palo Alto. It was always the step sister to the much fancier University Ave. The street
9/24/2014 11:27 PM

be a good parallel case study.

Parking and plantings are good the way the were done only a short time ago. A more aesthetic sidewalk paving
9/23/2014 3:39 PM
would enhance the pedestrian environment. Broadway is unique the way that it is, and should not be redone to
the extent Burlingame Avenue was redone (which is beautiful but not for Broadway.)
261
: So glad this is being considered! It seems like broadway district is a gem in the rough that the community could
9/23/2014 3:33 PM
do much more with!

- Nothing on the street currently entices me there. If I stay local I go to Burlingame ave for the variety of stores.

9/23/201412:03 PM
Broadway.

Burlingame has spent a lot of money beautifying Burlingame Ave and making it more appealing to big name
9/23/2014 10:31 AM
retailers. It's about time Burlingame paid more attention to Broadway.
266
keep it nice and clean, more parking facilitation around the area would be greatly helpful.
9/23/2014 9:32 AM
267
have restaurants keep outside seating from spreading across the sidewalk encroaching pedestrian traffic.
9/22/2014 11:05 PM
268
The type of people that frequent broadway are substantially different than those on Burlingame ave. Though in
9/22/2014 10:07 PM
the same city, it's a very different culture. Broadway is more of a neighborhood where people walk through as
part of their day -today activities. Whereas Burlingame Ave is sought out as more of a destination.
269
It would be nice to see a few nicer clothing stores
9/22/2014 9:20 PM
270
Maybe some sort of giving -back event for kids in the Broadway area to do community service? Maybe a book
9/22/2014 9:03 PM
drive and kids give their favorite books they've outgrown to other children who need books? Something that is
community building.
271
Please dont let the chains come in.

Broadway is the ugly stepsister. Please do something about it because the real estate in Burlingame is far too
9/22/2014 6:59 PM
valuable and has much too much potential to let it stagnate the way it has.
274
We need to get some kind of confiruation nearing off the freeway that doesn't cause so much time wasted at the
9/22,12014 5:47 PM
railroad crossing and the many signals. If Millbrae can get it done, why can't Burlingame?

Make any changes supportive of pedestrians and cyclists more than of cars.
9/22/2014 5:43 PM
276
1 would also like to see the City invest in infrastructure improvements to make I easier to bike and walk between
9/22/2014 5:38 PM
the Ave and Broadway.
277
Broadway need to keeps the sidewalks clean. The look of Broadway does not attract new customers or
9/22!2014 5:36 PM
merchants. The street does not need to be redone it just needs to be kept clean and the shops that are empty
filled. if the owner of the property does not want to rent them out the city need to have conversation with the
owner and create a solution.
278
Do NOT make it parallel parking - I can usually find a space at least on 2nd try - parallel parking just LIMITS
9/22/2014 4:56 PM
- parking for no good reason. Also, sequence of red/green lights at end of Broadway should be correlated to those
traveling West from the overpass — try this at 5 p.m. - the red light on CA Drive stops all traffic and it is
dangerous! Only 2 cars can wait at CA Drive and the rest have to stop mid -road ... any more than 2 cars at CA
Drive means the 3rd car has its "butt" too close to the RR tracks - and the train is wider than the tracts! This
situation is begging for a disastrous accident!
279
Broadway is a great walkable resource for our community. I love that it's not just high end boutiques. I love the
9/22/2014 4:24 PM
diversity of small restaurants and shops. Let's make it even better!
280
The freeway approach to Broadway is unsightly and not in keeping with the rest of Burlingame.
9/2212014 4:16 PM
281
Given the value of homes nearby, I'm not sure why there are so many vacancies on Broadway. Need more retail
9/22/2014 3:17 PM
and less offices on the strip.
282
The anchor store for me is the Goodwill but their parking and street access is terrible. Every time I think about
9/22/2014 3:12 PM
going to Broadway I remember the confusing one-way streets, difficult street parking, and heavy traffic during
peak hours, and decide against going.

Sidewalk maintenance getting to Broadway from side streets could be a bit better. The lifts from root damage are
9/22/2014 12:59 PM
pretty prominent in some areas and make it hard for stroller, etc.
285
Do not tear up Broadway like you did Burlingame Ave. If people want to experience "new," let them go to
9/22/2014 11:21 AM
Burlingame Ave. There is nothing wrong with Broadway the way it is today. Please stop wasting taxpayer money
286
1 like the way that Burlingame Avenue is fancier shopping venue while Broadway is more down-to-earth daily
9/22/2014 11:01 AM
shopping place.
287
It would be interesting to understand what the overall vision is for Burlingame vs Broadway. It feels like
9/22/2014 10:53 AM
Burlingame is the larger, box -store shopping area and also targeting both locals & visitors with ample parking and
nice restaurants.
288
We live on the block. Create things to do with our kids in the neighborhood besides eat ice cream and go to
9/22/2014 10:50 AM
pica.
289
Please have City Council remove the moratorium - not sure why one even exists. Aplace like design/build
9/22/2014 10:46 AM
shelter doesn't seem to add to the vitality of the street- perhaps uses like that could go in another district or on
the 2nd floor.
290
1 think of broadway as an "Intermediate" neighborhood. I do most of my day to day shopping in Millbrae or on
9/22/2014 9:54 AM
very northern part of Burlingame. Prices are more reasonable and access is better. I have some favorite places
on Broadway in Burlingame that I visit regularly (which are either not available in Millbrae, or are a step above
Millbrae). Burlingame Ave is reserved for higher -end events - it is a little mare pricey and harder to get to - I need
a good reason to go there.
291
1 was very sad to see the magnolia trees cut down years ago and replaced. I hope the trees will be allowed to
9/22/2014 9:45 AM
mature and not be cut down again.
292
Don't fall for the "we need more parking" argument. Broadway needs customer and customers can be delivered
9/22/2014 9:45 AM
in lots of ways, including via a strong residential and workplace fabric.
293
Parking should be parallel as I have seen many almost collisions as people back out of spots. Very dangerous
9/22/2014 9:41 AM
area and parking re -figuration should strongly be considered to improve safety.
294
Please keep it mom & pop!

295 Broadway feels dingy and old. It should never try to be Burlingame Ave but it could use a major facelift and I bet
budingame residents will start visiting both Burlingame ave and Broadway on sunny weekends to spend money
and create more tax revenue. Widen the sidewalk, make it look beautiful to stroll on, add "parklets" like they have
in San Francisco, add crosswalk lights, make it one way from el camino towards califomia so that people from
the freeway aren't racing down broadway and endangering kids crossing the street. Attract some hip restaurants
and pubs. A lot of young tech workers live in the area or commute past it and they'd definitely spend their money
here at unique food establishments.
296 Broadway district seems "run down" / much older vs. Burlingame Ave. We generally just go to Burlingame Ave.
as there is a better selection of restaurants and stores. Find a way to uniquely differentiate Broadway to continue
to attract visitors
297 1 love the proximity of these locally based businesses, I do feel the street needs to be cleaner though.
298 A verity of strong business would be helpful, not for astedics, but for the people who use Broadway. Make it their
"place to go" first.
299 Really, how many nail salons does a town need? A quick search of google says that there are at least 22 nail
salons in Burlingame. At least half are on Broadway.
300 How can we attract more new businesses like the Pilates studio?
301 - 1 never go to Broadway to eat in a restaurant or shop for clothes or gifts, mostly just run errands
302 Maybe to put some plants like the ones on the Gap parking lot. Don't need much water and look nice with the little
stones.

it's really congested with traffic. awful driving and not safe for pedestrian. don't do anything to worsen that. In fact,
thing should be done to alleviate that.
I think that if broadway were nicer, easton home values would rise. We bought in burlingame hills because we
concluded there was no need to pay more for a smaller house in easton because there wasnt anything we really
needed to be able to walk to on broadway.
Broadway feels a little neglected. I like it's small town feel, but it has a strange mix of tenants and no real family
friendly restaurants. Truthfully, the only stores that I visit on Broadway on a regular basis are Starbucks and
Walgreens (and occasionally Kim's Perfect Nails). headway has a lot of potential but needs attentionl
We love the local feel of b -way ave. B -game ave is very commercial, which is great too, but its good that the two
main drags in the city have very different feels.
I like Earthbeam, All that Glitters, II Piccolo and Weimax because the owners are always around. And there are
more stores with the owners who I don't know.
No.
1. Reduce the random non-functioning businesses 2. Make it a more quainter more attractive venue to attract
more foot traffic from Burlingame and the neighboring communities. Make it more of a destination. Make it more
of a dinning destination for Burlingame with quaint cafes, breakfast places, restaurants, bars, book stores,
upscale food stores. Example like the Rockridge area or the gourmet ghetto in Berkeley.
I miss the mom and pop shops that thrive. Small restaurants that are good, not just surviving. Entertainment is
key.
311 Its pretty sad compared to Burlingame Ave.
312 If the train were to stop on Broadway, businesses might improve.
313 Excited about the Pilates.
314 Some shops lag in keeping up appearance, giving a "worn out" look to the shopping area.
315 clean it up and more people will come. Even vacants store fronts need to be cleaned up by their owners in order
to attract merchants
316 I'm happy to see someone is asking these questions. Hopefully we can clean up broadway, get some stores in
the many vacant storefronts.
317 Thanks for soliciting community comments. Glad that Broadway is getting much needed facelift'.

318 We have enough nail salons Need a decrease in traffic of commercial vehicles Make it as inviting as Burlingame
ave
319 1 don't know if the commerical district is just Broadway or adjacent streets
320 It would be great to have Broadway Ave be a'destination' for people and the community.
321 1 like how slot of stores cater to dogs as well. It looks like a friend, lay back neighborhood to go to that you can
take your pet with you.
322 - There is great potential to bring Broadway up to date. It seems like a quaint relic that has lost it's luster. Also, with
the longstanding vacancies, there is opportunity to make broadway a more bustling business district.

gaining good tenants. Way too many vacancies. Broadway needs to be revitalized aroundsome of the quality
places that are currently there.
Because we live really close to Burlingame avenue, we always go there... only because we love WALKING to it
and not getting into our car. I hope Broadway doesn't turn into another Burlingame Avenue though. I love that it
has small independent businesses and if I lived closer to it I would use it more.
DON'T TAKE AWAY PARKING SPACES. Keep the parallel parking, don't make the same mistake that was
made on Burlingame Ave
The area presents itself as older and in need of refurbishment, not active and thriving.
Keep Broadway from looking like Burlingame Avenue. Not a carbon copy.
Question number 5 should have a N/A option because we don't have a car and we've never parked on
Broadway. We do have a car on occasion and use Broadway to get to the freeway which is kind of hairy due to all
the cars parked on the street. It would be better if the cars where able to parallel park, cause cars have to back
Into traffic right now.
Redwood City has been able to lift up parts of their sagging downtown area. Let's hope Burlingame can do the
same!
If Bway had the feel of budingame avenue it would attract many more patrons.
perhaps an initiative by the building commission to incentivize building owners to upgrade their buildings both
cosmetically and for food quality. Perhaps an incentive to bring in new restaurants, bigger sidewalks like the ave.
Need to update the look of the street a little while maintaining character
Easier way to bike - bike lane please and or more pleasant pedestrian experience
We love Broadway and are so glad to live nearby. Meets all our needs in every way. My husband and I both are
responding to this email survey, although only #11 indicates male Or female.
we are satisfied how Broadway is diversified
Love the street as is. Too bad that some shops can't make it. I hope the Ace hardware store on Park Rd. makes it
but it would be nice to have one on Broadway, too.
require that all properties have trees and green areas to improve the "green lung" (better auquality. Do not allow
anymore to build houses where the ground floor is a car port -will lead to collapse in an earthquake and does not
fit to Burlingame character. Plenty of office buildings are at the Bayshore/waterfront. Introduce rent control.
Lived just west of broadway for 20 years and raised family here. Walk down for coffee often and enjoy an
occasional meal at room or village host but sadly go the ave as a destination for better food and shopping
choices
Broadway is an opportunity to make something great in Burlingame. I would love to see it succeed more

San Carlos is an example of a thriving small community. The parking is free. Broadway Burlingame seems old,
9/20/2014 6:00 PM
dated, dowdy. I never think about going there.
Use RHAA James Ingles, he will Know what to suggest.

I would be thrilled to see Broadway get the same upgrade that Burlingame Ave did. It would be great for residents
9/20/2014 3:54 PM
and bring in lots of new business
Broadway has improved over the years, but could use some improvement, 9/20/2014 3:40 PM
Broadway could be very quaint, something like downtown Carmel. It needs to be cleaned up and store front 9/20/2014 3:35 PM
owners should take pride of the front of the stores. I went to Ireland and they have something called tidy cities. It
was very clean and lots of flowers.
351 Would love to see Broadway reenergized as a local hub of the neighborhoods in Burlingame. Local stores and
restaurants as opposed to the chains on Burlingame Ave.
352 We would love to see Broadway invigorated. We live in Easton Addition and almost always have to drive to
Burlingame Ave or even San Mateo to go out to lunch or dinner. We would love to have a good variety and
quality of stores and restaurants on Broadway, which we can walk to.
353 If the city council asked people in Burlingame if they want more time and attention given to Broadway it would be
a unanimous YES! Broadway is such a charming area and the current business owners need to up their game
and change things up a bit to entice more pot and business. We also need to draw better restaurants, wine bars
and fun places for people to hang out and make it more vibrant
354 so much better than it used to be. I think it has been improving.
355 Broadway can keep its yesteryear charm but add more upscale shops and restaurants like Menlo Park. It should
eliminate some of the lower quality retail stores and limit the number of nail Salons actually on Broadway St itself.
356 This area feels old and stodgy
357 Please don't turn Broadway into another Burlingame Ave.! It should maintain its own character. Re: #5—
sometimes difficult to park on Broadway but parking almost always available in one of the lots.
358 No need for parking garage; lower rents for floor space encourage higher occupancy
359 none
360 Please do something to enhance broadway. It is such a last opportunity. It could thrive if the right businesses
came in. Very excited about the pilates studio opening. Will attract more people but they need places to go.
361 Police need to crack down on the U-tums.
362 Tum the caltrain parking lot into downtown parking.
363 1 go to the bank, chase, the consignment store, the gas station, Walgreens, subway and other restaurants, and
the cigar shop - I would love more reasons to go to the broadway commercial center.
364 Make sidewalks wider and safer for children on scooters, bicydes, strollers
365 I'm sure the Burlingame Avenue renovation is probably out of reach, but the aesthetic of Broadway Is pretty
dumpy. Chase bank's neon is aesthetically offensive and totally inappropriate for the context— they need to kill
those lights.
366 Thanks for the opportunity to respond to your needs.
367 It appears Burlingame Ave. received all the attention & funding. It's time to give Broadway that same level of
enthusiasm & support. It's a eyesore for Burlingame & especially for the surrounding community.
368 I've recently noticed some incidents with people in the area that really make me wonder if I need to be concerned
for my (and my kids) safety on Broadway. I think there may be some section 8 housing near California (?), but
there definitely seems to be a crowd that I've noticed lately that doesn't feel like your typical budingame family
residents.

Do not make Broadway parallel parking like Burlingame Avenue. Do not get "big chains' on Broadway" to follow

Burlingame Avenue's example. Broadway is not attractive. (exception: Earthbeam) It needs beautification.

Broadway a refined and beautiful neighborhood business district. There is a great variety of restaurants which we

Glad you are addressing Broadway. I've always felt it was the ugly "stepsister' to Burlingame Ave, but it is for us

People like Broadway be it isn't Burlingame Ave. But clearly it needs a few real anchors that will attract people

who don't live in the immediate vicinity. If I didn't live walking distance away (which I am glad I don't) I would

9/19/2014 9:32 PM

Keep it local to the extent possible. The change to Burlingame Ave. is excellent but does not need to be
9/19/2014 9:28 PM

My family tends to go out much more frequently on Burlingame ave instead because it is so much more

If office spaced is zoned, I suggest it be restricted to the 2nd level or above so the ground floor space remains
9/19/2014 8:53 PM
interesting for the many pedestrians. Very important for walkability.
402
Resurface Broadway between Califomia Drive and ECR. The street looks old, needs to look new and fresh to

1 love the independent nature of Broadway vs Burlingame Ave. but it would be nice to have the sidewalks and
9/192014 8:14 PM
storefronts cleaned up. It looks shabby but there are some wonderful restaurants/shops that would benefit from
some city involvement.
406
Store Fronts need to be more appealing/colorful Empty stores not a good sign for other vendors

Traffic on and around Broadway is a nightmare many times during the day! Trying to tum out of the side streets
9/19/2014 6:57 PM
onto Broadway can be dangerous because its very difficult to see oncoming traffic. Pedestrians and traffic
crossing Broadway onto the side streets contribute to congestion at peak periods. Put flashing lights on the
crosswalk by Walgreens for increased safety and awareness. With the new interchange Broadway could become
little more than a high-speed thoroughfare.
416
I'm excited about Pilates Pro Works coming to Broadway. I think that wit help the overall look of the street and will
9/19/2014 6:55 PM
get more of the local Moms to Broadway. Just need other things to cater to them/me so we stick around and shop
and do errands.

Broadway seems to be the little stepsister of Burl.Ave. Some businesses are pretty tacky, aesthitically speaking.
9/19/2014 6:43 PM
Paint a lovely mural on blank wall at NE comer of EI Camino, adjacent to the gas station.
I would love for a restaurant or coffee house to go into the old Brio Restaurant site.

This downtown has potential to be significant and complement to Burlingame Ave. Vie need to give it a boost and
9/19/2014 6:25 PM
utilize that real estate better.
Would love to see it liven up! I think there is some great potential to improve the existing businesses and attract 9/19/2014 6:19 PM
other businesses that can uplift it even more.

422 The "fairy lights" on the trees along the street are a nice touch.
423 The area is dated and needs a major overhaul. Too funny stores that fail. The mall south of chevron is terrible
and that ugly horse needs to gm NO MORE ASIAN RESTAURANTS!
424 keep it simple, keep it historical Burlingame! Don't screw it up like you did Burlingame Avenue!
425 I'm proud of our downtown area.

Burlingame Ave. seems to be more the shopping district, while Broadway seems to be the service-oriented
district (i.e. nail salons, shoe repair). It would be good for both districts to have a mix of shopping and services.
You should add services to the reasons for visiting Broadway.
Love the Burlingame Produce Market!
Maintain lower meter rates
Usually go to Burlingame Ave. area to shop and eat.
I love the feel of Broadway and it always seems vibrant during the day even though there are so many empty
stores.
My wife and I moved to Burlingame (by Peninsula Ave. ) about 10 months ago - we like the Burlingame Avenue
district a lot but the Broadway district is a real gem - it has a great small town feel to it, and some really great
restaurants and shops. Parking can be tricky sometimes, but accessibility is not a huge issue. We typically drive
on week days due to time conshainst, but prefer to access it via bikehmin on weekends
I own 2 apartment buildings near Broadway. The tenants love walking to Broadway, but I think find it lacking in
many ways.
I live on Burlingame Ave and walk everywhere. Broadway doesn't have anything that compels me to drive over.
There is a spate of illegal U-tums mid -block on Broadway that Burlingame choses to ignore.
Restaurants that attracts the younger generation often forgets that this is a family community . When they drink
they are scattered every where and there behavior is hard not to hear and notice .
Broadway is the gateway to Burlingame. Needs updates and City's encouragement to attract non -corporate
stores. Enough already on Burlingame Ave and it's completely changed the face of that section of town.
The purchasing of the beautiful old Post Office building for the purpose of more commercial stores is ludicrous!!!
What are our councilmen thinking? Shame on you. I will certainly be more careful next election!!
I really hope that Broadway gets a renovation and some life breathed into it. Its so conveniently located. Its a
shame there are not more places that I frequent on it. The selection and variety is lacking considering how many
blocks the street takes up. I love that it is there and wish it didn't get ignored when it comes to it's upkeep.
Burlingame Ave got a face lift?
at least one intersection with flashing pedestrian crossing signal lights
I hardly go there, parking is so difficult, streets are so narrow.
The Commercial District is great
Parking can be a pain, at peak hours.
No
Broadway is ugly. It is the gateway to our beautiful city and it is a terrible first impression. It needs a facelift. Its
tacky.
446 Way too many nail and hair salons
447 Burlingame is lacking in the arts. Broadway could be a quaint local art writer - gallery, artist studio space, acting
troupe space and little theater, dance/music venue jaz7/chamber music
448 I've always felt that the Bgame Ave district was nicer, but since the construction project the difference btwn
broadway and Bgame ave is even starker. Broadway frankly looks rundown. It seems like broadway has more
restaurant options than Bgame Ave. Maybe focus on making it an attractive and eclectic restaurant district and it
might actually become a destination.

Almost no reason to go there - except Starbucks and I live in Easton addition and would rather drive to avenue -
9/19/2014 4:45 PM
more restaraunts - stores that actually have items to sell- vacancies make it look like a dump
450
While I think the Burlingame Ave project came out nicely, parking is a nightmare there. Please don't let that
9/19/2014 4:44 PM
happen on Broadway.
451
Parking parking parking While the angle parking is easier for most people to perform, parallel Parking would
9/19/2014 4:41 PM
make the street slightly wider.

I've lived in Burlingame long enough to accept the street as it is.
9/19/2014 4:41 PM
453
- Please dont close broadway like you did to Burlingame Ave. Burlingame Ave has taken forever and then you end
9/19/2014 4:41 PM
up with less parking. The poor businesses who have to keep their doors open despite the heavy work happening
outside their door. Sorry to see Crossa!nt Cafe and The Melt close due to the roadworks. Sidewalk looks so dirty
and we have to pay to have someone power wash it.
454
Love the new look! _

1 love Broadway; I have only lived in Burlingame for 3+ years and we call it the Old School block when we
9/19/2014 4:35 PM
describe it to anyone. It has what you need but it looks like grandma decorated it. Please give it a bit of a facelift.
456
The shops have a dirty, run down feel. It feels downscale compared to the Avenue.
9/19/2014 4:34 PM
457
Consider providing city matching funds for landowners updating their facades (updates which meet certain
9/19/2014 4:32 PM
criteria to retain the character of the street).
458
this could be a great street just needs some forward thinking and TLC
9/19/2014 4:32 PM
459
Your survey did not include services (like hair and nails) which I also use on Broadway.
9/19/2014 4:31 PM

Keep reasonable parking facilities.
9/19/2014 4:30 PM
461
Please don't bring in high-end shops and make it super commercial big business focus like Burlingame Ave. Its
9/1912014 4:28 PM
nice to have a variety of different areas, so the more down-to-earth, local downtown feel of Broadway is a nice
contrast to Budingame Ave, where many people come from outside of Burlingame and shop.
462
No more smoke or alcohol shops. We liked the hardware when it was there. We would also use a copy center or
9/19/2014 4:25 PM
office supply store!
463
Since the beginning of the construction on Burlingame Avenue I've frequented Broadway about 3X as much.
9/19/2014 4:21 PM
Now, I don't know why I'd go back.

Regarding the question below about contacting me about Broadway- that's fine but do NOT add me to any city
9/19/2014 4.21 PM

Broadway is a major thoroughfare but it's run-down and several restaurants are struggling. I'd love to see it
9/19/2014 4:19 PM
updated like Burlingame Avenue.
466
It would be great to see Broadway get the kind of attention that Burlingame Ave did. A face lift is needed.
9/19/2014 4:18 PM
467
This district is fumbling and without the cache of the Ave. It requires an innovative re -design (not just paving and
9/19/2014 4:17 PM
landscaping)
468
Usually there to pick up smaller things/items or go to hank/postoffice.

Not that I can think of.
9/19/2014 4:09 PM

Be more creative with the street: how about some art, it's Broadway, make it festive. Clean up the past office, at
9/19/2014 4:08 PM
least trim the bushes.

Broadway if I need to.

Great place to eat if you can find parking before your reservation expires
9/19/2014 4:02 PM

1 am filling this out on my mothers behalf. It doesn't need to look like the avenue, keep it small and simple and an
9/19/2014 4:01 PM
old town feel, do not modernize it. My mom has lived here since 1965.
483
There needs to be a serious re -design of street traffic on Broadway
9/19/2014 4:01 PM
484
Go big or go home - too many small outlets; need to combine properties and make bigger to attract wider range
9/19/2014 3:59 PM
of offerings/brands.
485
The city need to keep the sidewalks cleaner. There is always stuck gum, dirt, and unidentified things on the side
9/19/2014 3:57 PM
walks. Burlingame Ave, doesn't have this problem but the sidewalks are sometimes disgusting on Broadway.
486
Burlingame is in real trouble. Complete lack of leadership. All the attention is always on Burlingame Ave - which
9/19/2014 3:57 PM
now accurately reflects the "superior" attitude of some of the City Council. All fluff- no substance. Thankfully, I
moved from Burlingame to a neighboring "town" (same zip). I do like to do frequent Broadway businesses and
restaurants.
487
The dway downtown is very shabby Need upscale restaurants and shops! It's disgraceful for a town such as
9/19/2014 3:55 PM
cur's!

9/19/2014 3:51 PM

What the hell is going on with the roadwork on Carolan? What are they doing and when will it be finished? And
9/19/2014 3:46 PM
can someone PLEASE work on the timing of the traffic lights! The worst on the planet,
492
Update some of broadway. Its a bit too old. I grew up in Burlingame, and Broadway should evolve a bit more
9/19/2014 3:37 PM
with the times.
493
Has anyone ever counted the number of nail and hair salons? Good heavens! If they stay in business I guess we
9/19/2014 3:28 PM
needthem,

The whole street is depressing and nearly blighted, inconsistent with budingame's image.
9/19/2014 3:16 PM

1 always prefer to be in b avenue because there are gifty shops/clothing and even if not shopping it's nice to walk
9/19/2014 2:42 PM
around and window shop. Seem to have more inviting cafes and restaurants. I know broadway has a lot if
restaurants but something about the space is not very inviting. Also, there is a little park right off of b eve, to which
we like to bring our kids. Maybe having a park near or on broadway would be nice
496
1 love living near Broadway. I wish there were a few things there (a book store, a take-out place, a stationery
9/19/2014 2:30 PM
store, etc.). I get a feeling that the City feels that it is the "tuor sister" to Burlingame Avenue. I think that is a same.
There is no reasons that more can't been done to allow for two vibrant areas in town.
497
Why doesn't Caltrain have a stop at Broadway? There are numerous residents close by and all those hotel
