RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
SUPPORTING ENHANCED REGIONAL FUNDING
FOR MAINTENANCE OF LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame:
WHEREAS, the nine -county San Francisco Bay Area economy relies heavily on the
availability of a well-maintained regional transportation system: and
WHEREAS, well-maintained local streets and roads are important to the region's
economic health and to the quality of life for the residents, and
WHEREAS, well-maintained arterial and collector streets are vital to all modes of
transportation including the private automobile, goods movements, emergency vehicles, transit,
bicycles and pedestrians within the region; and
WHEREAS, funding for regional transportation system maintenance and rehabilitation is
limited; and
WHEREAS, preserving and protecting the public's investment in the existing local
streets and roads must remain a priority for transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, regular and timely street maintenance reduces long-term rehabilitation costs
and minimizes the need to reconstruct streets; and
WHEREAS, when local streets and roads are not well-maintained, the cost of repair can
increase dramatically; and
WHEREAS, the value of the existing local streets and roads far exceeds local
governments' capacity to replace them within any reasonable time frame;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED and RESOLVED that:
1. The City Council of the City of Burlingame supports the allocation of an enhanced
level of regional transportation funds to maintain and rehabilitate local streets and roads
including streets not currently on the Metropolitan Transportation System (MTS).
2. Maintaining local streets and roads should be a high priority for the allocation of
regional maintenance funds
. 3. Regional funding priorities for local streets and roads should be based on the local
jurisdictions' determination of maintenance and rehabilitation needs supported by a systematic
pavement condition evaluation program.
4. The City Council supports a balanced and equitable approach to funding local streets
and roads maintenance needs.
