6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
a) Hoover School Reopening (Oral Discussion)
Mr. Wong went through the PowerPoint presentation and highlighted the status of the
2
proposed improvements for Hoover School which is set to reopen on August 24, 2016.
He stated that new pedestrian ramps, crosswalks, a traffic island, stop controls and
Hillside Circle and Alvarado Avenue, and traffic and parking restriction signage during
peak drop-off and pick-up times (pilot program) have been completed. The remaining
improvements to complete prior to August 24 include additional restriping and signage,
pavement legends, curb extensions and remaining concrete work around the traffic
island fronting the school.
Chair Londer indicated he visited the Hoover School area in the afternoon prior to the
meeting and commented that it appeared everything is coming together.
Mr. Wong clarified for Commissioner Wettan that there were in fact two crosswalks on
Alvarado Avenue. The first crosswalk was for getting across the intersection and the
other was for using the Easton stairs. Commissioner Wettan suggested that the City look
into additional reflectors and/or trimming the tree that is partially obstructing a stop sign
on Hillside Drive.
Commissioner Wettan commented on the poor conditions of the walking path on Easton
Circle near the gate. Mr. Wong explained that the short stretch of sidewalk on Easton
Circle was not included in the proposed short-term improvements.
Sergeant Ford explained that starting the first week of school, traffic officers, parking
enforcement, and all reserves have adjusted their hours in order to saturate specific
areas to address parking, traffic flow, and/or safety problems. He added that the School
Resource Officer has also been working very closely with the School District. He also
indicated that the Police Department will also utilize social media to help continue
educating parents and residents.
Commissioner Bush confirmed with Mr. Wong that Engineering staff would be collecting
and reviewing pedestrian flow data in order to modify and/or make additional
improvements. Commissioner Bush also encouraged staff to survey parents and faculty
regarding the implemented improvements and any pertinent feedback about their
experience. He also asked if City staff or members of the TSPC would be attending any
School District meetings that would include the students’ parents after the reopening of
Hoover School. Mr. Wong indicated he would look into this and report back.
Commissioner Martos clarified with Sergeant Ford that that traffic enforcement officers
would start with issuing warnings and educating people rather than immediately issuing
citations. He also suggested to Sergeant Ford to include the parking restrictions on the
pedestrian and traffic flow maps. Commissioner Martos shared the same concern as
Commissioner Wettan in regards to the path on Easton Circle near the gates. He also
urged staff to have a discussion with the City Attorney sooner rather than later to review
the current conditions of the walking path and assess the risk to the City.
Additionally, Commissioner Martos brought up the stop sign concern on Canyon Road
3
that was brought up by a homeowner at a previous TSPC meeting. He said the stop sign
is located approximately 100 yards before a crosswalk and felt this may be a danger to
pedestrians. Mr. Wong explained that there is no curb or place to relocate the stop sign
and it’s in the most ideal location given the current road conditions. He also said moving
the stop sign would create additional sight problems due to the brick wall nearby.
In closing, Chair Martos thanked staff for their efforts related to the Hoover School
improvements.
b) School Speed Limits (Sub-Committee Report)
Chair Londer shared that he and Vice-Chair Akers discussed and recommend
implementing a school speed zone reduction to 15 MPH on Quesada Way. He indicated
this would be a prime location for a pilot program, as it would impact two schools—
Franklin Elementary and Burlingame Intermediate School (BIS). Chair Londer pointed
out that the factors that favor the speed reduction on Quesada Way are outlined in the
staff report.
Mr. Wong commented on the staff report and indicated that it would be preferred to start
this as a pilot program, as Chair Londer stated. He also shared discussions he has had
with the City of Los Altos regarding residents contesting speed reductions on multilane
roads—similar to Trousdale Drive. Lastly, Mr. Wong recommended staff reach out to the
School District to obtain their insight on possible locations for school speed reductions
before forwarding a recommendation to the City Council.
Commissioner Martos said he is in agreement with the current plan and location, but did
make note that he thought the stretch between Trousdale Drive and Davis Drive was a
little excessive (over 500 feet). He did suggest that the Commissioners start to think
about how to measure the success of the pilot program to determine if it should be
implemented permanently.
Mr. Wong suggested that the plan to poll the parents of Hoover School might present an
opportunity to “piggy-back” and gain feedback regarding the BIS/Franklin Elementary
School speed reduction pilot program.
Commissioner Bush inquired as to how the City might measure success of the pilot
program and suggested that impacts to bicyclists and pedestrian counts could be useful
indicators. He also asked about the timing of the pilot program, such as when to start
and how long it should run. Mr. Wong explained that other pilot programs the City has
conducted were typically for one year.
Commissioner Wettan shared the same concerns over the measurement of success and
how long to run the pilot program. He also suggested that a reduction in the number of
accidents might be a valuable metric, although difficult to prove. Commissioner Wettan
complimented Chair Londer and Vice-Chair Akers on their thoughtful and well-done
4
analysis.
Chair Londer closed by clarifying that no action would be taken at this time. He added
that staff will reach out to the School District regarding their feedback and
recommendation(s) about the suggested location of the pilot program; and, if they feel
any other location(s) might be a larger safety threat. The Sub-Committee will iron out
additional details such as metrics of success, start date, etc.; and the Commission will
resume this discussion at the next TSPC meeting.

c) Farmer’s Market
It was noted that the next Farmer’s Market is scheduled for August 14 and
Commissioner Martos commented that this would be a good opportunity to continue
surveying merchants and patrons. Mr. Wong agreed to send Commissioner Martos the
list of survey responses the City has already collected to date. Commissioner Martos
chose to work from 9 – 11 am and Chair Londer from 11 am – noon. Commissioner
Wettan may participate if his schedule permits.
d) TSPC Chair/Commissioner’s Communications
Chair Londer said that he attended the most recent Envision Burlingame meeting for
the General Plan Update with the main topics of discussion being historical preservation
and resources and sustainability (recycling requirements and green practices). He
indicated the next Envision Burlingame meeting is scheduled for the end of September
but the consultant and City staff will be presenting to the City Council in early
September.
Commissioner Bush attended the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition Summit. Some key
discussion topics included the revised California standards for bicycle facilities and
temporary/experimental bicycle facilities and the outcomes. In addition, Commissioner
Bush spoke to Alta Planning + Design regarding consideration of a more
comprehensive bicycle plan for Burlingame. He also spoke with a representative from
San Mateo County (SMC) regarding a pedestrian and bicycle collision study they
conducted and SMC would like to visit Burlingame to discuss their findings. Lastly,
Commissioner Bush indicated he has been in touch with some folks concerning the
future of the BPAC. He said he spoke with the store manager of Summit Bicycles to
inquire about attending the next quarterly Pen Velo meeting, as they have
approximately 300 members, regarding the potential path forward for BPAC.
Commissioner Martos inquired about filling the leadership role of the BPAC which led
into a short discussion where the Commission agreed that additional efforts can be
made to find someone to fill that key role such as a call out in the City
newsletter/Enews. Mr. Wong indicated he would look into outreach options to assist
with BPAC leadership and participation.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM NO:
Item 6.b – School
Speed Limit
MEETING DATE:
September 8,
2016
To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission
Date: September 8, 2016
From: School Speed Limit Subcommittee (Chair Londer and Vice Chair Akers)
Subject: Item 6.b – School Speed Limit.
RECOMMENDATION
The Subcommittee proposes that the Traffic Safety & Parking Commission (Commission)
recommend that the Burlingame City Council implement a 15 MPH school speed limit pilot
program consisting of a 15 MPH speed limit on Quesada Way in the vicinity of Burlingame
Intermediate School (BIS).
BACKGROUND
This is a continued discussion from August’s meeting.
In general with certain criteria, Section 22358.4 of the California Vehicle Code (AB 321 of 2007)
allows a City to implement a 15 miles per hour prima facie limit in a residential district, on a
highway with a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or slower, when approaching, at a
distance of less than 500 feet from, or passing, a school building or the grounds of a school
building, contiguous to a highway and posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed
limit of 15 miles per hour.
This 15 MPH speed limit may only be implemented on roadways with (a) a maximum of two
traffic lanes; (b) a maximum posted 30 miles per hour prima facie speed limit immediately prior
to and after the school zone.
Section 22358.4 does not expressly require a speed study prior to the implementation of a 15
MPH speed limit. It states only that the City must consider the requirements of Vehicle Code
section 627 before implementing a 15 MPH speed limit - not that it conduct a speed study
compliant with section 627. Indeed, the August 22, 2007, Senate Floor Analysis for AB 321
explains that the bill was intended to:
Allow a local government by ordinance to declare, without having to complete an engineering
and traffic study, a prima facie speed limit of 15 MPH in a school zone in a residence district in
its jurisdiction, or on a highway with a posted speed limit of 30 MPH or less, while children are
going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during the noon recess period.
Item 6.b – School Speed Limit September 8, 2016
2
The reduction of vehicle speed from 25 MPH to 15 MPH improves vehicle, pedestrian and
bicycle safety by (a) reducing stopping distances and (b) reducing the force of a collision if one
does occur.
DISCUSSION
Since the passage of AB 321 several California cities have passed ordinances implementing 15
MPH school zone speed limits. For example, the City of San Francisco implemented 15 MPH
speed limits at 181 separate schools in May 2012. The City of Berkeley set 15 MPH speed
limits at its schools in 2014.
The City of Burlingame has several school locations which fit the criteria at which a 15 MPH
zone could be established. We believe that a good place to start would be Quesada Way
between Trousdale Drive and Davis Drive. This street is home to two schools - BIS and
Franklin Elementary School - and it otherwise satisfies the requirements of the statute.
Other factors favoring a 15 MPH zone on Quesada Way include:
1) Many middle school students walk on their own or in groups to BIS, without
parents escorting them, increasing the risk of conflicts between autos and
pedestrians.
2) BIS has established bicycle parking on campus, promoting bicycling (which is a
good thing) but again increasing the risk of conflicts between autos and
bicyclists.
3) The street is a bicycle route, again increasing the risk of conflicts between
bicycles and autos.
4) The elevation changes on Quesada Way can limit visibility.
5) The schools and fields are home to several after-school and extracurricular
programs.
6) The proximity to Trousdale Drive, which serves as a thoroughfare, encourages
higher speeds on Quesada Way.
For the reasons stated above, the Subcommittee proposes that the Commission recommend
that the Council implement a 15 MPH speed limit on Quesada Way from Trousdale Drive to 500
feet from the southern boundary of BIS.
Burlingame Police has indicated that they can enforce the 15 MPH speed limit similar to
how they currently enforce the 25 MPH limit at school locations. Additionally, staff has
initiated contact with both the Vice-Principals at Burlingame Intermediate School and the
Burlingame School District to obtain any comments they have regarding the pilot
program.

Subject: Item 7.a - Engineering Division Reports/Public Works Update
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission receive a presentation by staff providing an update on
various Public Works – Engineering projects and activities.
BACKGROUND
• US101/Broadway Interchange Project – Stage 3 construction continues and is about
halfway completed. The construction of the final eastbound overpass section will be
completed in late October. The construction for the remainder of September includes
construction of retaining walls, finish grading and paving of the roadway approaches to
both sides of the overpass. Stage 4 work is planned for early winter, when portions of
Bayshore Highway will be reconstructed to raise the Bayshore/Airport intersection to its
planned elevation.
• California Drive Roundabout - Awaiting date for next public meeting to review
aesthetic treatments. Project plans are at 65% Horizontal Geometric Design
configuration. Staff is reviewing the basic horizontal roadway geometry to identify and
discard any potential flaws in basic assumptions at the 65% milestone. Elevation and
vertical alignments are currently being calculated, with final analysis being based on
confirmed horizontal layout. General aesthetic and landscape concepts are also being
gathered to be used as a beginning point for discussion at the 2nd public outreach
meeting. No date has been confirmed as yet, but October is being considered for as a
tentative month for a 2nd meeting.
• Carolan Complete Streets - The City has received final approval from Caltrans Cultural
Resources on the Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) and the Archaeological
Survey Report (ASR) for the project. City staff and the design team are now working to
complete the project plans and specifications for submittal to Caltrans in October for
