Every morning, I drive southward towards Broadway to get to highway 101 to go to work. It is a busy intersection during school hours as parents drive their kids to school at Roosevelt Elementary. Recently, there has been tall vehicles parked on Broadway (northwest comer) that block my visibility to oncoming cars traveling eastbound on Broadway. I do not drive a tall SUV and I was almost struck twice in the last month. What compounded the situation were contractor trucks working on the newly built house on the corner that were parked on that comer. In addition, with the recent road work, all of Broadway was parked up when the residents could not park on Drake Ave. This morning, a large van (for the handicapped) was parked on that corner which caused me to inch out and stop suddenly when eastbound cars were streaming down Broadway. Would it be possible to paint the curb red on the northeast corner of Broadway so that vehicles park farther away from the corner of the street? That would help with visibility of the eastbound traffic.

It is the goal of this petition to modify the BIS bell schedule from: 8:30am - 3:OOpm TO 8:YSam - 2:45pm OR 8:45am to 3:15pm (eXCept Tuesdays) * Any staggering between (10-YSminutes) is also an option the School Board should consider. Please help make our schools safe! Thank you, BIS Traffic and Safety Initiative Petition: We the undersigned, call to action from the San Mateo County/Burlingame School Board to take action in Changing the Burlingame Intermediate School Bell Schedule from 8:30am-3:OOpm TO either: 8:15am-2:45pm (except Tuesdays)* OR 8:45am-3:15pm (except Tuesdays)* OR Any feasible staggered times with a (10-15 minute) offset between nearby schools. We agree that by changing the BIS bell schedule by 10-15 minutes, the overall traffic situations listed above will improve along with the safety of our children! UPDATE: June 9 The Burlingame School Board has acknowledged our unified stance with regards to the possibility of a new bell schedule. They are working to improve traffic flow and safety at BIS and the surrounding schools. The superintendent stated that all families will be receiving a letter before school starts, indicating the changes they have approved for 2012-2013. We can only hope our voices are heard and that change will come! Please continue sharing this petition with friends and other parents so this problem is not swept under the school districts rug over the summer! It should not take decades to solve these habitual traffic jams we face every day while "bussing our own kids to school!"
