NEXT REGULAR TRAFFIC SAFETY AND PARKING COMMISSION MEETING: Thursday, May 12th. 2016 TRAFFIC, SAFETY AND PARKING COMMISSION Unapproved Minutes Regular Meeting of Thursday, March 10, 2016 1. CALL TO ORDER. 7:03 p.m. 2. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG. 3. ROLL CALL. MEMBER PRESENT: Bush, Martos, Londer, Akers, Wettan MEMBERS ABSENT: 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion: To accept the minutes of February 11, 2016 with the following edit to item 6a: • Change Chair Longer to Chair Londer M/S/C: Akers/Bush; 5/0 5. PUBLIC COMMENTS —NON -AGENDA Manito Velasco requested an update on the Carolan Avenue Project. He stated that he made this request at the January 2016 TSPC meeting. Mr. Velasco would like to know the status of the design details and feels this information should be made available to the public. He also asked that the Commission place this project on the next TSPC agenda. 6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS a) Speed Limit Reduction Near Schools At the request of the Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission, City staff evaluated the possibility of reducing the speed limit near school zones to 15-20 miles per hour (mph). All streets adjacent to Burlingame schools are currently 25 mph enforceable through California Vehicle Code (CVC) 22352, prima facie limits, or the Basic Speed Law (CVC 22350). The City may implement reduced speeds around schools when school children are present by way of a speed survey or City resolution. Staff supports the options which 1 require drivers to go slower, especially on residential roadways, but the City cannot provide enforcement beyond what is currently being done. Staff recommended the formation of a sub -committee to further review the options to effectively reduce speed limits near schools—and enforce them. Chair Londer opened public comment. Manito Velasco shared his interest in what the Commission thinks of staff's proposal. He suggested the following areas as possible pilot areas for reducing speeds: Deveroux, Balboa, streets near Cabrillo, OLA, and Cortez. Mr. Velasco felt the City should encourage people to go the speeds in which the street designs allows for and feels the above mentioned locations should be less than 25 mph. After public comment, the Commission asked a number of clarifying questions. Commissioner Wettan voiced his concern that the circumstances around the San Jose study may be different than those of Burlingame. He supports the sub -committee but encouraged the Commission to consider a sub -committee that looks at overall speeding and traffic safety issues, rather than forming sub -committees for specific projects such as the sub -committee formed in response to Hoover School pedestrian safety. Vice -Chair Akers felt that the speed limit reductions of our sister cities have not been withdrawn is very telling and we should follow suit. He encouraged the City to move forward and to form a sub -committee as staff has recommended. Commissioner Bush favored the idea of a high level sub -committee, broader than what is outlined in the staff report. Commissioner Martos is in favor of making things safer for children in the area but did not feel a blanket speed reduction for all streets adjacent to schools would be favorable for all areas. He is in agreement with staff to form a sub -committee in order to take a closer look at each area. Based on the collection of traffic survey data, Commissioner Martos has requested data of incidents near school zones from Sergeant Ford. Sergeant Ford agreed to obtain the information and share it with the sub -committee. Chair Londer supported the recommendation to form a sub -committee. Motion: Appoint a sub -committee to evaluate school traffic and safety issues and assess what problems may exist and how the City might address them. M/S/C: Wettan/Bush; 4/0/1 (Akers not present) Chair Londer and Vice -Chair Akers were appointed to the sub -committee. 2 b) Downtown Parking Update Mr. Wong provided an oral presentation regarding survey and data observations regarding Downtown parking conditions. The goal of his presentation was to provide the Commission with baseline data/metrics, and the results of the latest Downtown parking survey efforts. No public comments. Commissioner Martos shared his concern with the parking lot capacity based on the survey data and questioned if the Commission should recommend the City Council consider the construction of a parking garage. Mr. Martos thanked staff for their good work and efforts collecting the data. Commissioner Bush posed several questions pertaining to alternative options to alleviate the parking issues such as a shuttle from Coyote Point and contracting with Caltrain for additional parking spaces. Mr. Bush felt there are other options to be considered before recommending a parking garage but he was in favor of a sub -committee that could explore alternative parking options. Mr. Chou commented regarding the possibility of obtaining additional parking spaces from Caltrain and indicated that Caltrain and Mike Harvey have an agreement in place currently to utilize Caltrain's parking for Mr. Harvey's vehicle inventory. Commissioner Wettan completed some surveying on his own during the Farmer's Market and felt the conversations he had with people was more valuable than the aggregate data. Mr. Wettan shared some of the comments from patrons and business owners such as the employee parking permit program does not help shift employee parking habits. What seemed to make a shift was a rate reduction to $1.00 for long-term daily parking. Based on his findings, Commissioner Wettan felt there is still capacity in the outer lots, and that a sub -committee should review additional options to shift the parking such as creating more $1.00 spaces for employee parking. Chair Londer indicated that Vice -Chair Akers had a concern with too many 10 hour parking spaces in the core lots. The Chair was in agreement with having too many long term spots in the core and to reduce rates in the outer lots—merchants should leave parking to their customers. Motion: Re-establish the parking sub -committee to study the parking issues in the area around Burlingame Avenue. Commissioners Wettan and Martos expressed their desire to stay on the parking sub- committee. M/S/C: Londer/Martos; 4/0/1 (Akers not present) 3 c) Broadway Parking Issues No staff report or presentation. The Commission discussed the parking conditions in the downtown Broadway area and felt they should address parking concerns by establishing a sub -committee to study parking related issues such as way finding. Motion: Establish a sub -committee to study parking and related issues in the Broadway Business District. Commissioners Wettan and Bush were appointed to the sub -committee. M/S/C: Londer/Martos; 4/0/1 (Akers not present) 7. INFORMATION ITEMS a) Engineering Division Reports • US101/Broadway Interchange Project — Completion of Stage 2 construction scheduled for March 14. Completion to include opening of new SB off -ramp, weather permitting. Concrete barrier on US 101 SB off -ramp has been removed to provide access to Rollins/Cadillac (February 19`h). Staff met with Caltrans' traffic consultant to discuss returning westbound Broadway at Carolan to the previous configuration; a single left -turn lane, and three through lanes to California Drive. Mr. Chou noted that deconstruction will take place in roughly one month. • Broadway Grade Separation PSR — Third and final public meeting to take place on March 31 at 6:30 pm.

There were no accidents at the intersection of EI Camino Real and Floribunda. Speed was the common cause of the accidents. 5 DUI saturation efforts on February 27 and March 5 resulted in two DUI arrests—one being intoxicated while riding a bicycle. Selective traffic enforcement on March 9 with neighboring law enforcement agencies resulted in the following citations: • 34 tickets for failing to obey traffic devise; • 19 speed violations; • 9 cell phone tickets; • 6 seat belt tickets; • 5 pedestrian right-of-way violations; • 3 driving with a suspended license; 1 unlicensed driver; and • 1 citation for having an open container and drinking while driving. On March 16, weather permitting; the Police Department will focus on pedestrian right- of-way enforcement. The Police Department received a number of complaints about speeding on Rivera during school hours. In response, the radar trailer and speed detection devices were placed on Rivera in conjunction with additional enforcement efforts. Staff for the Police Department attended Farmer's market this month and received good feedback. c) Farmer's Market No participation in Farmer's Market on March 30; Commission will revisit plans in April. d) TSPC Chair/Commissioner's Communications Chair Londer mentioned the three year pilot program for turn restriction on EI Camino/Floribunda was approved at the last City Council meeting. A representative from TSPC will be a stakeholder. No time table identified for start of pilot program. Per Commissioner Martos, the CAC met a few weeks ago and discussed Rollins Road and multi -use buildings at the north end of Burlingame. Many ideas were shared for building out Rollins Road and making things more accessible to bicyclists. Chair Londer mentioned there is a joint meeting with the Planning Commission and General Plan representatives on March 19, followed by a General Plan meeting on March 24. 3 8.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Chair selects a TSPC Commissioner to represent the TSPC at the Stakeholders Committee for the EI Camino Real Corridor. DISCUSSION At the March 7`h City Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Caltrans to implement the southbound left -turn restrictions at the intersection of EI Camino Real (ECR) and Floribunda Avenue; and, to initiate the community stakeholders' process to explore and develop recommendations to address various issues related to the ECR corridor. As part of the MOU, Caltrans agreed to install 'No Left -Turn' signage for southbound traffic at the intersection of ECR and Floribunda Avenue, and will conduct a Pilot Study to monitor the results of the signage for a period of 36 months. The stakeholders' process will consist of representatives from the City of Burlingame, Caltrans, and the Town of Hillsborough. The purpose of the stakeholders group will be to explore and develop mutually agreeable recommendations and/or potential proposals to comprehensively address the various traffic, pedestrian, infrastructure, safety, and natural resource issues on the ECR Corridor.

These improvements not only include the construction of the physical improvements, but will also consist of a pilot project to restrict parking and access along Easton Drive and Summit Drive in order to facilitate traffic. The pilot project will allow the City and the District flexibility to make adjustments as needed. BACKGROUND For the Fall of 2016, Hoover School will re -open to about 200 new students. As part of the re- opening, the Burlingame School District determined various routes which students would use in travelling to and from school. The City and the District then identified improvements to better accommodate pedestrians using these routes, with the City Council and Burlingame School District Board of Trustees approving the design and installation of certain improvements. Since the February TPSC meeting, the District and City have completed layouts for the new pedestrian ramps, traffic island, and crosswalks. The final design for these improvements is still on schedule for construction this Summer, prior to the Hoover School Reopening. The District and City continue to engage in discussions with the various stakeholders including the neighborhood property owners along Easton Drive and Summit Drive, and the Town of Hillsborough. The City and District have also made some changes with regards to a crosswalk location, the parking restriction limits, and added an access restriction. These changes were made to better handle the anticipated traffic and circulation through the neighborhood, as well as lessen the potential impacts to the neighborhood during the critical drop-off and pick-up periods. The City worked with the District to identify the period from 8:00 A.M. to 8:45 A.M., and from 1:30 P.M. to 3:15 P.M, Monday through Friday as the time periods for the turn restrictions onto Summit Drive. These will be the periods where most students and parents will interact with vehicular traffic. Most of the pedestrian ramps and crosswalks shown in the February meeting are still in the same locations, with one exception. The crosswalk previously at Easton Circle has been relocated 7 6.d - Hoover School Update April 14, 2016 approximately 100 -feet to the east. This was done so that the ramps associated with the crosswalk would be in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Ramps at previous location would not have been in compliance. Alternatively, staff did review relocating the ramps to the intersection at Benito Avenue, but due to the existing drainage inlets at the corner and the location of existing driveways, this was not feasible. City staff continues to support the parking and turn restrictions on Easton Drive and Summit Drive. The parking restriction would have included the entire 2800 block of Easton Drive, from Easton Circle to Summit Drive, and on the 2100 block of Summit Drive from Easton Drive to Hillside Circle. For the turn restrictions, right -turns onto Summit Drive from Easton Drive, or left -turns from Canyon Drive would be prohibited. These restrictions would only be in place Monday through Friday, during school drop-off and pick-up periods. At the February TSPC meeting, comments were provided by the residents along Easton Drive. They had concerns that implementing the "no parking" restriction for the entire 2800 block of Easton Drive would eliminate the on -street parking and would create an unmanageable parking impact. Most of the TSPC concurred with the residents as they felt the on -street parking options in the vicinity were already limited. The TSPC then requested that staff look at trying to preserve parking during the design process. In response to TSPC concerns, to maintain the on -street parking, the District's design team incorporated three spaces adjacent to the new mid -block crossing, while the City reduced the limits of the parking restriction. The new restriction along Easton Drive would be "no parking" along the north side of the street from the Easton Circle to the Bridge east of 2812 Easton Drive. Staff observations have not shown any vehicles parking along this portion of Easton Drive, due mostly to the narrow roadway width. By adding "no parking" signage on this section of Easton Drive, it will address any future parking issues. The City will recommend a similar restriction on the south side of the street to the Town of Hillsborough. To aid in vehicular access and circulation, turns onto Summit Drive from either southbound Canyon Road, or westbound Easton Drive are still proposed to be restricted. Staff is proposing an additional restriction to prohibit westbound vehicles along Easton Drive, starting at Easton Circle. This restriction was provided to aid in facilitating vehicles exiting the school. This access restriction, along with the turn restriction on Summit Drive will force the major flow of traffic to move in a counter -clockwise direction along Summit Drive and Easton Drive. This would simplify circulation by forcing the majority of vehicles to travel in one direction. These restrictions would also occur only Monday through Friday, during school drop-off and pick-up periods. All the parking and access restrictions discussed above are recommended to be implemented as a pilot project. With a pilot project, the City and District will have flexibility to make adjustments while monitoring the circulation and traffic when the school opens. Once the City; with concurrence with the District, have made the determination that the traffic patterns have stabilized, the City will return to the City Council to adopt an ordinance to make the restriction permanent.
