PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA Former Councilmember John Root indicated that traffic on Douglas, including the rate of speed at which cars are traveling, has become a concern. He encouraged City staff to look in to the matter. Manito Velasco requested a visibility red zone at Mills and Highway Road due to safety concerns traveling westbound on Mills with the intent to turn right and travel northbound on Highway Road. He also requested a field meeting with a Commissioner and or City staff person to explain to his children why the intersection at Mills and Highway Road is acceptable as it currently is. Mr. Velasco then indicated the City’s procedures for installing crosswalks is confounding and suggested a written policy. Lastly, he indicated he inquired about a crosswalk at Paloma and Sanchez and has yet to receive a response from City staff. 6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS a) Community B/PAC Update (Informational Only) 2 Commissioner Wettan indicated the Community B/PAC met last week with the bulk of the meeting focused on California Drive and how to continue forward progress on the Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and map efforts. He pointed out a letter regarding concerns identified by the Community B/PAC was included in the TSPC agenda packets. Commissioner Wettan confirmed with Chair Martos that the TSPC will move forward with a joint work session with the Community B/PAC to discuss key topics such as the Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Commissioner Wettan commended Warren Goodrich for his efforts collecting video data at the intersection of California Drive north of Dufferin. He indicated that of the three hours of video captured, 33 left turns were made with very little oncoming traffic and 50 bicyclists traveled through the intersection. Manito Velasco provided public comment and expressed concerns with the plans for additional parking on Rosedale at the expense of adequate visibility. b) School Related Traffic Safety Issues Mr. Wong provided a presentation to the Commission and indicated this item is a continuation of previous discussions surrounding the authority to local jurisdictions to establish a 15 or 20 MPH speed zone around schools. He reminded the Commissioners that the City began a pilot program last year to introduce 15 MPH limits on Cabrillo and Cortez near Our Lady of Angels (OLA) and Quesada near Burlingame Intermediate School (BIS) and Franklin Elementary. Based on discussions with the School District and other key considerations, Commissioner’s Israelit and Londer (School Traffic Subcommittee) recommended to implement 15 MPH zones surrounding the remaining schools identified. Those schools are Roosevelt Elementary at Broadway and Vancouver, Lincoln Elementary at Balboa and Devereux, Burlingame High at Carolan and Oak Grove, McKinley Elementary at Paloma and Oak Grove, Washington Elementary at Howard and Anita, St. Catherine of Siena at Primrose and Bayswater, and Hoover Elementary on Easton. Commissioner Israelit stated for the record she slightly disagreed on a school speed limit reduction surrounding Mercy High at Adeline and Alvarado. Mr. Wong agreed to send the Commissioners a sample of the school speed signage at Commissioner Israelit’s request. The Commission discussed each of the remaining schools recommended by the Subcommittee for a school speed limit reduction; however, no action was taken. Mr. Wong indicated he would bring this item back to the TSPC with a map laying out the extent of each school speed zone reduction based on the Commissioner’s feedback. The Commissioners encouraged Mr. Wong to send B/PAC the current recommendations in order to allow them an opportunity to weigh in. 3 c) Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 4 Grant Mr. Wong provided a presentation to the TSPC regarding the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 4 Grant and indicated the School Area Pedestrian Enhancement Project has been identified for the grant submittal. He also indicated the City was selected for a grant via C/CAG for grant writing services, which will be utilized for this particular submission pending Board approval on June 14, 2018. Commissioner Wettan encouraged additional safety measures be considered for the crosswalk at Hillside Circle as part of the School Area Pedestrian Enhancement Project. Manito Velasco provided public comment and suggested the crosswalk at the intersection of Clarice and Quesada near BIS and the bicycle and walking path on the east side of El Camino Real between Rosedale and Oxford be reviewed for additional safety improvements. He also requested the consideration of bulb outs on Balboa at Hillside. Commissioner Wettan also requested that additional safety improvements be considered along Bernal near Ray and Devereux. In addition, he suggested staff to inquire whether or not bike cages and potential paving across from Ray Park would be an option under the grant funding parameters. 7.

Questions & Feedback 1 STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM NO: 6.c – Revise metered parking along Broadway MEETING DATE: September 13, 2018 To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: September 13, 2018 From: Andrew Wong, Senior Engineer Subject: Item 6.c – Proposal to Revise the Parking Rates and Duration Along Broadway. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission have a public discussion and provide their recommendation regarding a proposal to increase the parking duration along Broadway from El Camino Real to California Drive from one-hour to two-hours, and increase the parking rates from 30 minutes per quarter to 15 minutes per quarter and to be consistent with premium on-street parking in the downtown core. BACKGROUND: Burlingame has two main commercial districts; Burlingame Avenue Downtown and Broadway. Parking in both areas consist of on-street parking and public parking lots, with either meters or pay kiosks. Durations and rates for each of these parking facilities vary from 24 minutes to 10 hours, with rates from 7.5 minutes per quarter to $1.00 for all-day parking respectively. The Broadway Business Improvement District (Broadway BID) has requested increasing the parking duration along Broadway between El Camino Real to California Drive from 1-hour to 2- hours. Their request was based on input from their customers who commented that they did not have enough time patronizing the businesses on Broadway. This parking duration would be similar to the 2-hour parking limit along Burlingame Avenue. Traditionally short-term parking has been located closer to the commercial area for the convenience of its customers. Short-term parking typically has higher parking rates to generate vehicle turnover on these spaces. Long- term parking is typically located farther from the commercial co re, with lower rates to incentivize parking. DISCUSSION: The parking duration change would affect the existing 1-hour metered spaces along Broadway. The parking changes would not affect the 24-minute spaces or the metered parking along Chula Vista Avenue, Paloma Avenue, Laguna Avenue, and Capuchino Avenue. To discourage employee parking with the proposed parking duration change, staff recommends increasing the meter rate from 30 minutes per quarter to 15 minutes per quarter on these spaces; or $1.00 per hour. This rate would be similar to the first hour along Burlingame Avenue. In addition to Item 6.c – Proposal to Revise the Parking Rates September 13, 2018 2 discouraging employee parking, the rate increase would continue to promote parking turnover along Broadway. By maintaining the parking turnover, any potential impact to residential parking will be addressed. If the TSPC supports a change to the parking duration, it would require changes to the City’s Municipal Code (BMC). Section 13.36.030 (One-hour parking), 13.36.040 (Two-hour parking), and BMC 13.40.010 (Parking meter zones) would need to be revised. This segment of Broadway would be deleted from BMC 13.36.030 and added to BMC 13.36.040. In BMC 13.40.010, Broadway would need to be deleted as a one-hour parking zone with a rate of 50 cents for one hour, and added as a two-hour zone with a rate of $2.00 for two hours. Staff is seeking input from the TSPC and public regarding the proposed changes. Staff recommends that if the parking duration is increased, the hourly rate should be increased as it will promote parking turnover and will be a disincentive for employees who may consider parking along Broadway. Based on the above, the TPSC may introduce a motion to support the above proposal and forward a recommendation to the City Council. Exhibit:  Staff Presentation PROPOSAL TO REVISE THE PARKING RATES AND DURATION ALONG BROADWAY Traffic Safety and Parking Commission September 13, 2018 Goals Provide community and TSPC with presentation of the proposal for changes to the metered parking along Broadway. Obtain community feedback Engage in open discussion Based on the feedback and discussion, determine if a recommendation can be forwarded to the City Council. Background Broadway Business Improvement District (Broadway BID) has requested increasing the parking duration along Broadway between El Camino Real to California Drive from 1-hour to 2-hours; Based on input from patrons who commented that they did not have enough time when parking on Broadway; With duration change, staff recommends increasing the parking meter rate from 30 minutes per quarter to 15 minutes per quarter ($2.00 for two-hours); Rate increase would promote turnover, act as a disincentive for employee parking, and reduce impacts to the immediate residential neighborhood; Either of the parking changes would trigger revisions to the City’s Municipal Code (BMC). BMC 13.36.030 (One-hour parking) BMC 13.36.040 (Two -hour parking) BMC 13.40.010 (Parking meter zones) Discussion Either of the parking changes would trigger revisions to the City’s Municipal Code (BMC). BMC 13.36.030 (One-hour parking): Broadway to be removed BMC 13.36.040 (Two -hour parking): Broadway to be added BMC 13.40.010 (Parking meter zones): Broadway to be removed as a one- hour zone and added as a two-hour zone; with the associated rate change or the inclusion of a new rate for a two-hour zone. Discussion Goals Review the presentation Obtain community feedback For tonight‘s meeting notices were sent out to adjacent businesses along Broadway and the side streets, as well as the Broadway BID. Engage in open discussion Based on the feedback and discussion, determine if a recommendation can be forwarded to the City Council. Recommendation should include changes to the BMC Questions & Feedback 1 STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM NO: 7.a – Engineering Division Reports MEETING DATE: September 13, 2018 To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: September 13, 2018 From: Andrew Wong, Senior Engineer – (650) 558-7230 Subject: Item 7.a - Engineering Division Reports/Public Works Update RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission receive a presentation by staff providing an update on various Public Works – Engineering projects and activities.
