I have been a Burlingame resident for many years. When I first moved here there were two free parking lots close to where I live. Now there are none and I have been paying $40/month for a merchant permit as resident for some time now. To find in July that I will be expected to pay $240/year more just adds insult to injury. I would gladly walk a few blocks for long-term parking or to be a part of the residential permit program. This has never been an option. The suggestions from city employees in the past have ranged from "lie about your address" to "ask someone you may know on those streets to give you a permit". None of this has been of help. I have paid my fair share of parking tickets and I know it's of my own free will I choose to live in Burlingame. However, I just wish there was something that could be done for hard working residents like myself for whom this additional expense creates even more of a hardship. Thank you for your time.

During the water pipe replacement the dead space between the entry lane end, and the exit start was filled with various warning signs, and or other pieces of equipment. While the actual construction on EI Camino was a nuisance, the obstructions in that space made exiting Burlingame Plaza much easier and safer. Without a barrier at that point some drivers get in the exit lane to the Plaza on EI Camino and then keep going through the dead space and into the entry lane. Thus if you are exiting the Plaza to EI Camino you have to stop and make sure that a car is not going to hit you, and at times drivers move in to that lane unexpectedly. This is a definite safety hazard. If Burlingame were to simply put up movable concrete barriers with appropriate markings in that space so that vehicles in the exit lane had to exit as marked, or were forced to the proper lane on EI Camino to continue that would result into an easier exit from the Plaza to EI Camino. This could easily, and relatively cheaply, be accomplished using concrete dividers that could be easily moved when necessary. Your consideration of this proposal would be appreciated. Regards, Randy VandenBrink 1412 Alvarado Ave. Burlingame, CA 94010
