CURRENT BUSINESS 7.1 TSPC Areas of Emphasis for 2013 —Discussion 7.1.1 Municipal Code Review and Update 7.1.1.1 BMC Chapters 13.16-13.28 Discussion Discussion occurred regarding the codes in Chapters 13.16 — 13.28, with the following possibly needing further attention: 13. 16.030 Driving through funeral procession 13.16.040 Clinging to moving vehicle 13.16.060 Riding or driving on sidewalk 13.16.120 U-turn restrictions 13.18.010 City engineer to establish marked crosswalks - 13.18.020 When pedestrians must use crosswalks 13.24 Speed Limits — entire section Chair Akers asked that the Commissioners review Chapter 13.32 and to be prepared to provide comments next month. 7.1.2 Parking Policy Review No discussion. 7.1.3 Traffic Studies and Collision Data 7.1.3.1 Accident and Citation Data —Discussion Chair Akers had nothing new to report. Corporal Murphy said the Traffic Division is continuing to map injury accidents. 7.1.4 Pedestrian Corridors Mr. Chou reported that the NO PARKING restriction has been reinstated on the curb area adjacent to Mills -Peninsula Hospital along EI Camino Real, between Trousdale and the asphalt path north of Ray Drive. He added that this now puts the parking restriction back to the way it was prior to the hospital construction. 7.2 Outreach Events —Discussion Chair Akers and Commissioner Londer reported that they represented TSPC at Fresh Market on May 12th. They garnered a brief list of concerns and will forward this information to Mr. Chou. Commissioners Wettan and Noworolski stated that they would be representing TSPC at the July 14th Fresh Market. Mr. Chou reported that Engineering staff conducted a survey about a downtown parking structure during the past week. Mr. Chou explained that the results would be presented to the Commission at a future TSPC meeting. 7.3 Public Works Safety Brochures Mr. Chou presented drafts of the Speed Limits and Traffic Signals &Stop Signs brochures. It was agreed that these brochures would include additional graphics and the information on the back panels would be consistent with those of previously reviewed brochures. 7.4 Howard Avenue: Petition for 2 -Hr & No Parking (1600 block) —Discussion (This item was taken out of order and discussed by the Commission before Item 7.1) Mr. Chou presented a staff report recommending that the Commission determine support of the residents of the 1600 block of Howard Avenue to establish 2 -hour parking time limits and/or No Parking Anytime zones on their block of Howard Avenue. Mr. Chou further reported that, based on a submitted petition by the residents, there was strong support to limit the parking time along this block of Howard. He also stated that the only concern was over the request to also consider NO PARKING along the north side of the street. The Commission heard from the public. Two residents spoke in favor of NO PARKING on the north side and 2 -hour parking on the south side of the 1600 block of Howard Avenue. One resident opposed the request for NO PARKING in front of his residence and asked the Commission to just consider the 2 -hour limit for both sides of the street. Motion: To recommend implementation of 2 -hour parking on both sides of 1600 block of Howard Avenue. M/S/C: Wettan/Serrato; 5/0/0 Staff Reports 8.1 Traffic Engineer's Report 8.1.1 Requests/comments/responses to public traffic concerns (stop signs, crosswalks, speed control, parking) - 2 -Hr Parking on Capuchino Avenue Mr. Chou report ed that no action has been taken so far, as he has not heard anything additional from the residents and he needs to pursue in-depth contact. - Chapin Lane speeding concerns Mr. Chou reported that additional enforcement was conducted and that it was suspected that the reported speeding was the result of Hillsborough residents coming down towards EI Camino trying to avoid stop signs at Occidental Avenue, Mr. Chou also explained that Corporal Murphy would also have additional information to report in the Traffic Sergeant's Report section. - Paloma/Lincoln red curb request Mr. Chou reported that city striping and paint staff have installed the requested red curbs at this intersection. 8.1.2 Construction and Design projects - Burlingame Avenue Streetscape Project Mr. Chou reported that the 1200 block of Burlingame Avenue remained closed for the Streetscape Improvements Project; and, that this section was scheduled to be completed sometime in August. - 2013 Street Resurfacing Project Mr. Chou reported that the City was currently executing the agreement for the 2013 Street Resurfacing Project with O'Grady Paving. - Bike Route Improvement Project Mr. Chou reported that an agreement with Chrisp Company was currently being executed, with authorization to proceed following shortly. 8.1.3 School Traffic Issues - Hoover School site visit Mr. Chou reported that Assistant School Superintendent Robert Clark was more than willing to meet with Commissioners to take a guided tour and discuss traffic concerns.

Root 1133 Douglas Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Suggestions for Downtown Burlingame As a long time resident of Burlingame and a relatively new resident of downtown I have become very aware of the fact that downtown is a very intense area for pedestrian traffic and that automobile traffic and pedestrians don't always perfectly coexist. Many times, I think, traffic management decisions are made with the focus on automobiles. With the emphasis on vehicle traffic and parking, the pedestrian perspective can sometimes be lost. With the new streetscape becoming a reality and walkability a stated goal of the new downtown specific plan it's time for pedestrian convenience and safety to receive renewed scrutiny. As you might guess, I have some observations and suggestions: 15 -Miles Per Hour Limit on Burlingame Avenue 1. Many times my wife and I drive through Los Gatos from Santa Cruz using the Highway 17 left exit into town. The speed limit as you exit Highway 17 is posted at 25mph. Within two blocks, Santa Cruz Avenue, at the intersection of Main Street, is posted at 15mph. This street, in many respects similar to Burlingame Avenue, has lots of pedestrian traffic, parallel parking and crosswalks in the middle of the block. The 15mph limit has been in effect for many years seems to work very well and supports the message of pedestrian safety. I strongly believe a 15 mph limit for the new Burlingame Avenue should be considered. I'm attaching a Los Gatos photo. Good Crosswalks at Primrose & Donnelly and Primrose & Fox Plaza Lane 2. The crosswalks at Donnelly and Primrose need attention. Driver courtesy is probably worse here than most intersections downtown. Consideration of what can be done to put the emphasis on pedestrians is needed. There isn't a crosswalk at Primrose and Fox Plaza Lane. With the new Safeway and retail in this area I believe a crosswalk and signage here is needed. There are many J walkers that I'm sure won't change. Primrose and Chapin 3. The intersection of Chapin and Primrose is another problem intersection. The width of Chapin is part of the challenge. I'm not sure of the solution for more pedestrian safety but I think traffic control measures should be placing the emphasis on pedestrian convenience and safety first. Primrose and Floribunda 4. The intersection of Floribunda and Primrose continues to be a hazardous intersection. I continue to believe this wide, spacious intersection warrants a stop sign for Primrose. Short of that, I believe the City should look at this intersection to see what additional measures can be taken to improve pedestrian safety. My wife had a very close call a few weeks ago while in the crosswalk with a vehicle turning right from Primrose onto Floribunda. A red zone adjacent to the crosswalk would be very helpful. Primrose Circle 5. Most drivers are very courteous but speed is a problem, The Primrose circle in front of City Hall and the Library lends itself to fast driving so any sort of measures to slow things down would be good With the streetscape work underway this is a good time to evaluate pedestrian safety. Walkability certainly is part of the streetscape plan. Those sixteen -foot wide sidewalks will help set the stage. Closely evaluating the nearby pedestrian walkways and intersections can certainly be an extension of that work. 1 J p:��� � i ,,►: Maj ' \`� •1� r�� �! �1 . .� t �, <_ _. 1 COMMUNICATIONS -ITEM 9.3 PW/ENG-Chou, Auqustine From: Joanne.yun jy@gmail.com on behalf of Joanne Yun <yun@alum.mit.edu> Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2013 5:54 PM To: PW/ENG-Chou, Augustine Cc: TSPC@Burlingame.org; POLICE -Witt, Chuck; PARKS -Disco, Bob Subject: Re: Traffic situation on Adeline Drive between 1400 and 1500 block of Balboa Avenue Attachments: photo.JPG Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dear Burlingame Traffic Commission, I am writing again to request that you address the obscured STOP sign on the eastbound side of Adeline and Balboa.

The Burlingame Parks Department will be notified of this condition and a service request is being submitted to trim the tree limbs that are currently obstructing the eastbound Adeline stop sign.

You can still see the marks on the edges where the crosswalk once was and I believe it is dangerous not to have this crosswalk on Howard. The other day, I was approached by a senior citizen that was trying to get across Howard, at Channing. A few minutes earlier as she tried to cross, she had obscenities screamed at her as she attempted to cross the street at that corner. I heard her getting screamed at and we got into a discussion about the missing crosswalk. I had told her that I thought there was one on the next block and she pointed to where we were standing, at the corner of Channing and Howard and showed me the marks of the crosswalk that was now gone. After she pointed out that it had been covered with the repavement, I decided to see if we could get that back. She should not have to walk three extra blocks to cross Howard safely and I believe the crosswalk is needed and should be returned. Perhaps the removal was an oversight? Howard is a busy street and the only stop signs where one can cross safely are at Dwight and at Humbolt, That leaves quite a few blocks without having a safe access to cross the street. On this particular day, I helped the lady across the street but have to say, I was astounded when I heard the teenagers yelling at her previously. She told me this has happened before and she is afraid to cross the street because of it. Could you please look at returning the crosswalk at this corner so that those needing to cross inbetween Humbolt and Dwight, can have a safe access across the street. To be clear, I am not asking for a stop sign, just the return of the crosswalk that makes cars aware that people have priority in crossing the street.. If I need to send pictures or anything else for you to consider this, please let me know what is needed to get this on your agenda.
