Can you ask Bob if the nature of that tree is to get taller? If it will one day be taller, then this problem will ultimately fix itself. If, however, its habit is to stay about that height, then we are looking at fairly frequent pruning by the city, I would fear. Perhaps you could ask Bob what he thinks is a good long run solution too...?

I just wanted to update you all on the status of this concern.

Marty also mentioned this to me so I went and had a look, and attach two of my own photos (below). The easiest thing (it seems to me) would be to relocate the stop sign to the front of the tree, or else take the tree out (sad, but safer). Thanks! Cheers, Michael From: Rich Voon Sent: Monday, July 09, 2012 8:13 AM To: 'Michael' Subject: Safety issue Hey Michael, Sorry, I know this isn't your specific area, but was hoping you could forward my email to the right person or tell me who to contact. There is a stop sign on the SE corner of Broadway and Vancouver that is completely blocked by a tree. The stop sign is right at the intersection of the Roosevelt Elementary School and could potentially be a huge safety hazard. What prompted this email is that while I was at that intersection this past weekend, a car blew threw the stop sign without even slowing down. That's when I noticed the stop sign is completely obscured. I've attached a picture from Google Maps. Hope your summer is going well!

Please Provide Feedback Auto forwarded by a Rule Liz Thank you for your honest reply, My intent in writing a petition was to simply gain feedback from my friends regarding an idea. By NO means was it meant to be adversarial or divisive. Yes, once I received over 70 signers, of major contributors and volunteers in our community who liked the idea, I forwarded it to you all. No one picks up the phone anymore, Liz. Emails do not Interupt busy people in the middle of a hectic day, unwanted phone calls do. I didn't feel the need to listen to automated messages to share my thoughts with you and the others I have contacted. There is a reason why important people, like you, display your emails on websites- that is for people like me to share my concerns and offer feedback with regards to the safety of my children. Every time my kids cross the four lane Trousdale Crosswalk on their own, while I watch from my waiting car- I cringe and get very uneasy, to a point where I have jumped out in the past. I have said my peace, and have stopped actively working on my petition.

However, your petition is not an appropriate way to enact change. In fact it is rather divisive. You more than anyone should be aware that traffic concerns around our schools are of the utmost importance to the school board and the administration. You worked very closely with Pam, Maggie and Robert at the beginning of this school year to help resolve/work on the concerns at BIS and your work with us resulted in changes at BIS. I am not sure at you thought you would accomplish now with the very public petition and the continuous emails to members inside and outside of the school community but it seems a bit unnecessary. You could have picked up the phone and spoken to anyone one of a number of people in the District or the Board about your continued concerns - we are approachable and available and you have a track record of making progress when speaking directly to people. I think you are naive if you believe that simply changing the schedule at one school by 15 minutes will solve the problem of traffic at our schools. your energy would be better spent in helping us get a bond passed in November so that we can begin work on Hoover and open another elementary school in the District and realign the District so that we can spread the sIndents out across the District. Your efforts could be better served helping get the Burlingame CIty Council to fund another few crossing guards in and around our schools to help guide our students safely to campus. While I applaud your concerns for our students safety -your methods of enacting change are not appropriate.

Please Provide Feedback Dear Concerned Citizens, School District, City Council, Site Committes, Trustees and Students, Yes, unnecessary incidents and close calls happen often at BIS, also in and around the surrounding streets, crosswalks, manned and unmanned intersections! What happened in the past is in the past... I have witnessed many occurrences from my traffic duty experiences that make me cringe. However, it is the present and the future that we need to focus on... I am trying to head warning to what's to come, especially once Franklin eliminates the early/late bird schedule. If you think traffic and congestion is bad now, it's going to get worse. If you think your kids are safe walking to school, they may not. If you think I can solve this problem on my own? You're mistaken... We have asked parents to drop off early- We have asked parents to drop off a few blocks from school- We have asked parents to avoid crossing the Main BIS crosswalk- We have asked parents to follow the traffic guidelines- We have asked parents not to pull U -Turns on Quesada- We have asked parents not to cut thm the Staff lot- We have asked parents not to speed- We ask parents not to leave their cars unattended- We ask parents to park in designated parking spots- We ask parents not to infringe upon students in the crosswalks- We have asked parents to carpool- We have asked parents to walk to school with their kids- We have asked parents not to block the BIS exit- We have asked parents not to wait until the last minute to drop off their kids- We have asked parents to unload at the white loading zone curb- We have asked parents not to stop in Red,Blue or fire lanes. A whole lotta asking and NOT much progress! NONE of these potential solutions haue worked in the past, unfortunately - What we need IS to stagger the Bell Schedule and get proper Supervision! I believe this is the only way things will IMPROVE at BIS and the surrounding schools. I have conducted a Traffic Flow and Safety Study at BIS long enough to know that asking parents is admirable and many do choose to act when we ask. However, there are just too many cars to control, especially with the increasing traffic flow we are about to experience. The safety of our children depends upon major improvements and solutions, not just suggestions to parents (see above).

A cyclist going southbound just south of the Police Station was "taken out by a driver pulling away from a parking space" according to one witness I spoke to. California Or was closed in both directions for a few minutes. The driver was very apologetic and showed genuine remorse. That makes two bicycle injury incidents last week on California Drive, including the ane on Monday in the photo. This is on top of the road rage incident I reported last week involving an enraged pickup driver who saw fit to drive side by side with me and threaten me for taking the lane. He finished it off by swerving to the right into my path, to try to make me crash as a lesson. The optimist in me would like to think this is a statistical blip in an otherwise safe roadway. For perspective, below are statistics straight from City's documents. These are not my data or analyses. If anything was taken out of context or if there is more current data, please let me know. Given this data, sharrows are a goad first step but they should not be the ultimate solution. I'm also copying other cyclists so they know of the recent collisions and the next steps the City will be taking in the coming months. Manito Highest Speed Roads in Burlingame 1.
