5. PUBLIC COMMENTS— NON -AGENDA
The following members of the public commented regarding the loss of parking on California
Drive between Rosedale Avenue and Dufferin Avenue as a result of the new peak period
parking restrictions as a safety measure for bicyclists.
Gus of 1108 Hamilton Lane
The residents living on Hamilton Lane (cul-de-sac) use California Drive to park surplus
vehicles and for guest parking. He indicated they received no notification of the red curb
painting on California Drive and loss of parking as a result. He indicated that Mr. Wong has
been very responsive to their concerns and that they value the safety of bicyclists, but they
are not content with the loss of parking.
Daniel of 1104 Hamilton Lane
Daniel indicated he received a tow away sign on his vehicle while parked on California Drive
and believes the 48-hour noticing requirement for no parking was not followed. He
1
encouraged staff to stop considering taking parking away, more specifically not to extend
the red curbing an additional 60 feet, and return the spaces that have already been
eliminated on California Drive.
Joe of 1105 Hamilton Lane
Joe thanked the Commission for hearing him and his neighbors. He is concerned about the
loss of parking as he feels is will lower their property values. In addition, living in a cul-de-
sac, they rely on the on -street parking along California Drive.
Curtis of 1101 Hamilton Lane
Curtis supports his neighbors regarding their concerns of the loss of parking on California
Drive. He is home the majority of the day and based on his observations, they have a very
heavy traffic problem after 5 p.m.; therefore they rely on the overflow parking along
California Drive
6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
a) Selection of TSPC Member to Represent at ECR Stakeholder Subcommittee Meetings
Mr. Wong clarified the subcommittee commitment would be for three years—for the
duration of the project. The meetings will potentially take place on a monthly basis but no
meeting details are available yet. The agreement will go to City Council in a few weeks
and more information should be available then.
Commissioner Wettan volunteered to serve on the committee, with Chair Londer as an
alternate.
7. INFORMATION ITEMS
a) Engineering Division Reports
• US1011Broadway Interchange Project – Stage 3 construction is underway and
approximately 1/4 complete. Soil engineering is taking place along the
southwestern end of the overpass in preparation of construction of the missing
portion of the new overpass, next to the new PG&E transmission tower. Utilities
relocation work has also begun on Bayshore Hwy in preparation of constructing the
new eastern landing of the overpass.
• California Drive Roundabout – Second community public meeting tentatively
scheduled for May 24 in the Lane Room. Presentation to include engineering
analysis of traffic efficiency and feasibility of a general roundabout design versus
traditional traffic signal configuration at California/Lorton/Bellevue intersection.
Chair Londer noted that there is a High Speed Rail meeting scheduled at the same
N
time. Mr. Wong indicated he would let Mr. Chou know about the conflict.
• TSPC Email Communications — Vice -Chair Akers indicated he is receiving his
City email. Chair Londer shared that it is a cumbersome process to access his
Burlingame email account and inquired if a City account can be linked to personal
email accounts. Mr. Wong noted the request and will look into it.
Three emails were received by Mr. Wong prior to the monthly meeting from
residents on Hamilton Lane regarding their displeasure of the loss of overflow
parking on California Drive.
Commissioner Wettan inquired about the noticing requirements for the parking
restrictions on California Drive to which Mr. Wong explained that the residents on
Hamilton were not noticed because it does not affect anyone's frontage. In this
case Hamilton Lane is located behind California Drive.
• City Hall Traffic Study — Second presentation scheduled for May 23 in the Lane
Room.
• Carolan Complete Streets Update — Archeological Study Report (ASR) for
Caltrans was approved at the end of March. A revised APE (Area of Potential
Effects) map was submitted to Caltrans Environmental in late April for approval.
Upon approval, final design plans documents (PS&E) to be submitted to Caltrans
Local Assistance for Caltrans District approval. Targeting June for submission and
September/October approval.

San Mateo's Peninsula Ave OC
Commissioner Wettan inquired about the email communications attachment and Mr.
Wong indicated that it would be included in next month's agenda packet.
Commissioner Bush inquired about the Broadway Interchange Project, more specifically
the wide right -turn from Rollins Road to Broadway and the safety concern of
pedestrians trying to cross the street. He doesn't think there is any signage and feels it
should be a temporary safety measure the Commission should consider. Commissioner
Wettan commented about the safety of pedestrians in the crosswalk at that location as
well. Chair Londer felt part of the problem is the elevation. Mr. Wong noted the
Commissioners comments and will check in with Mr. Chou regarding the latest project
meeting with Caltrans
b) Police Department Reports
Chair Londer complimented the Burlingame Police Department for all their efforts at the
GOP Convention. Per Sergeant Ford, the PD used a lot of their parking enforcement
officers to defer traffic away from the convention and the traffic unit for immediate traffic
control.
Over the last month there have been 32 accidents, 10 minor in nature, and one fatality.
The fatality occurred at westbound Floribunda and EI Camino Real where a garbage
truck struck a bicyclist. The incident is currently still under investigation and the PD are
still looking for witnesses. Witnesses are encouraged to contact Corporal Mike Martin.
Commissioner Martos later inquired about that particular intersection and Sergeant
James indicated the fatality was the only accident at Floribunda and EI Camino Real in
rl
the last month.
The STEP Program will take place on Wednesday, May 18 which is a saturated traffic
enforcement effort with approximately 20 motor officers.
As part of the PD's Office of Traffic Safety grant requirements, they have to conduct four
bike rodeos in certain cities. One will take place in Half Moon bay this Saturday, May 14.
The event helps to teach kids about bicycle safety and they also provide bike helmets to
children if necessary.
c) Farmer's Market
Representatives from the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission were unable to
participate in last month's Farmer's Market. Chair Londer and Commissioner Martos
committed to participate in the Farmer's Market on Sunday, May 15, from 9 –11 am.
d) TSPC Chair/Commissioner's Communications
Chair Londer met with the Mayor last week with the primary topic of discussion being
BPAC. Based on their meeting, it appears the BPAC may possibly be a community
group, similar to the Citizens Environmental Council.
Commissioner Martos talked about the Community Advisory Commission meeting for
the General Plan where the topic of EI Camino Real and California Drive improvements
was discussed. Traffic consultants provided several alternatives of EI Camino Real to
review, which included improvements such as a "road diet" (going from four lanes down
to two lanes), dedicated left -turn pockets, bus turn -outs, and sidewalk repairs. For
California Drive, a "road diet" was also suggested, along with a cycle track.
Commissioner Martos conveyed his concern with the cycle track due to the transition
from west to east at Broadway.
Per Chair Londer and Commissioner Martos there is a community workshop regarding
land use on Saturday, May 21, from 10 am – 1 pm at the Recreation Center. It will
provide opportunities to the general public to comment on different alternatives for
improvements in areas such as North Burlingame, Rollins Road, Bayfront, and
downtown—Broadway and Burlingame Avenue.
Vice Chair Akers commented about hearing additional concerns regarding the loss of
parking on California Drive from residents on Hamilton Lane outside of the evenings
Commission meeting. He feels the City does generally well on process but "fell down"
this time around based on the number of communications received. He is not certain the
decision was wrong but felt the process didn't work and we should consider revisiting
this at an appropriate time.
E
Commissioner Bush spoke to a neighbor near Washington Elementary School who
happens to work in local law enforcement regarding his traffic concerns around the
school. He shared some interesting ideas and insights regarding the traffic in that area.
Commissioner Bush will forward his contact information to Mr. Wong for follow up.
Commissioner Bush also had a conversation with past TSP Commissioner Noworolski
regarding parking measurements. Mr. Noworolski offered to put up parking monitoring
devises around the City to help collect additional parking data if the City allowed.
Commissioners Bush and Martos both felt it would be good to have real time parking
insights and how parking takes shape through the day and throughout the weeks.
8. COMMISSION & COMMITTEE REPORTS
a) Downtown Parking (Martos/Wettan)
No update; will discuss next steps soon.
b) Broadway Parking (Bush/Wettan)
Commissioner Wettan suggested that the downtown Broadway area might be a good
place to take former Commissioner Noworolski up on his offer to place parking
monitoring devices. One issue with Broadway parking is the number of restaurants and
wait staff. He also noted a well-known trick in Burlingame — meters go off at 6 pm so
people working in the evening pay one hour of parking for the entire night. Bush made a
general comment that it appeared there is a lot of overnight parking going on in City lots.
Commissioners Bush and Wettan have not yet followed up with John Kevranian of the
Broadway Business District.
c) BPAC (Akers/Londer)
The BPAC group was unable to meet this evening, May 12. Chair Londer mentioned
again that the BPAC may be structured similar to the Citizens Environmental Council but
nothing is set in stone.
d) School Speed Limits (Akers/Londer)
Emails have been exchanged but no real discussion has taken place according to
Commissioners Londer and Wettan. Commissioner Wettan shared that Planning
Commissioner DeMartini emailed him regarding school speed limit issues, more
specifically at Roosevelt. He let Commissioner DeMartini know there is a committee
looking at school speed limits and encouraged him to contact subcommittee members
Nick Akers or Jeff Londer.

Advisory
Committee
(BPAC) Update
June 9, 2016
Subject: Item 6.a — Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Update.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the TSPC receive an update regarding the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Advisory Committee (BPAC) and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND
The City's BPAC, an ad-hoc committee, was formed over 10 years ago as part of the
Transportation Development Act (TDA) grant application process. The primary purpose of this
committee was to provide input and support for potential grant -funded bicycle and pedestrian
improvement projects. Through the years, the committee also became a specific venue where
bicycle and pedestrian issues could be discussed and where ideas for future projects were
developed.
Over the past year, the committee has expanded its role to include input regarding various
capital improvement projects and has expressed a desire to introduce non grant -funded
projects. Because of the informal nature of its meetings, its effectiveness, and great
collaboration between staff and the BPAC, the City of Burlingame has been successful in
receiving grant funds for many bicycle and pedestrian projects. However, because the
committee does not currently have a formal structure and a charter defining its role and
responsibilities, there is confusion regarding the role of the BPAC, and staff has difficulty
managing the meetings. This has resulted in blurring of the original purpose for the BPAC, and
has increased staff's difficulty in managing agenda items, deliverables, and the implementation
of outcomes.
Due to these concerns, the Public Works Director requested that the engineering staff review,
develop, and establish guidelines to provide clarity and smooth operations for the BPAC. This is
similar to what other neighboring Peninsula agencies have recently implemented.

6.a - Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Update June 9, 2016
DISCUSSION
After consultation with current BPAC members, TSPC members, members of the public
engaged in bicycle -pedestrian matters, and members of the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition,
staff has crafted a draft BPAC charter that better defines the mission, expands upon the duties
of BPAC, establishes a structure and reporting mechanism, and states the roles and
responsibilities of the members (see attachment). In developing the charter, staff was cognizant
that members of the BPAC and TSPC as well as public participants wanted to keep the
committee less formal in order to encourage new participation and to promote a free exchange
of ideas and concerns. However, while staff understands this interest, the proposed BPAC
charter includes a more structured approach to the process to prevent discussions from getting
side-tracked from the established agenda, and to ensure that the BPAC is fulfilling its mission.
The proposed structure of the BPAC will increase from three to five members, with a chair
selected from among the members to facilitate the meetings. Staff believes that the five member
committee is a manageable size based on current workload and staffing resources. Although a
suggestion was made to increase the membership to seven, staff believes it will be more difficult
to manage the meetings and will require more resources should the membership increase to
seven. For informational purposes, staff has included a survey of other Peninsula cities with and
without BPACs as an attachment.
Under the proposal, the new five -member committee will include two TSPC commissioners and
three public members who are Burlingame residents. The Planning Commissioner position has
been eliminated. This change was done to reaffirm that the BPAC is a committee that will report
back to the TSPC. The three members of the public are to be selected by the City Manager, or
her designee. Although some community members requested that the committee include a
designated Planning Commissioner, staff believes that the proposed structure is preferable as it
will provide greater participation by public members not already affiliated with a City
commission. Moreover, City Commissioners can still attend the meetings and participate as
they would with any other public City meeting. The format of the meetings also will enhance
public participation in the BPAC, including during the 'Public Comment' section of the agenda.
Under the proposal, the BPAC would report back during TSPC meetings under the "Committee
and Sub -Committee Reports" section of the agenda with more detailed discussions to be
provided as part of staff reports.
Staff proposes that the committee meet on a bi-monthly basis, with dates and times set
by the Chair and staff. The committee will also have the ability to increase the meeting
frequency by holding additional meetings on an as -needed basis. The Committee meetings will
be subject to and comply with Brown Act rules, and will include proper agendas and public
noticing.
Staff recommends that changes to the structure of the committee, roles and responsibilities, and
the charter should be made only with the approval of the City Council.

6.a - Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Update June 9, 2016
At the April 18th City Council meeting, the Council was presented the draft charter. Comments
included reducing the membership to a single TSPC member, with the remaining membership
to be public members. There was shared interest from the Council that the BPAC be able to
continue a free exchange of ideas and concerns without the constraints of the Brown Act, but
understood that the group's current form required it to be subject to the Act.
Following the meeting, staff worked to develop other options as an alternative to formalizing a
BPAC. These options would need to include flexibility in membership, meeting frequency, but
more importantly they would not be subject to the Brown Act. After talking to other
stakeholders, two options additional were generated. The first involved using the structure from
the City's Citizen's Environmental Council (CEC). This structure provides a free-flowing
discussion without being bound by the Brown Act. The CEC has an open membership, with
directors and members who are represented on the City's TSPC, Planning Commission, Park
and Recreation Commission, Beautification Committee, and various PTAs. This group has a
diverse membership which was desired by many members of the current BPAC. Following the
structure of this "community-based BPAC" it would not be affiliated with the City, but an
independent group. A community-based BPAC would not have a restriction on the number of
members, nor how often they would meet. Staff members would be invited to group meetings to
provide expertise or provide updates on City projects. This effort would include staff from both
from Public Works and Planning departments.
The second option would be to have open discussions, with the public in attendance. These
meetings would similar to the public outreach meetings which occurs for some of the City's
larger capital improvement/planning projects. The process involves a notification with a venue,
date, time, and topic; this usually done via E -news and email. At that meeting staff could initiate
a discussion with a brief presentation, followed by questions, and finally obtaining comments
from the public regarding the specific project. Staff would in turn take the information gathered
at the meeting and incorporate it into the project, or work in collaboration with the TSPC Chair
and Vice -Chair to place it onto the TSPC agenda for further discussion.
Both of the above options would not be subject to the Brown Act, and both could report back to
the TSPC under Agenda Item 7a, "Engineer's Report", or 7.d, "TSPC Chair/Commissioner's
communications". The Commission could then vote to discuss any topics generated by the
community BPAC as a future agenda item. Additionally, either option would allow for the
independent meetings without City staff in attendance, as any public discussions would occur as
part of the TSPC agenda.
Staff is seeking comments from the TSPC regarding both the draft charter and the option of
creating a community-based BPAC similar to the CEC. Staff will take this input and bring it back
to the City Council for additional comments.
