M/S/C: Londer/Wettan; 4/0/0 5. PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA No public comment. 6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS a) Community B/PAC Update (Informational Only) No update. b) Subcommittee Future Item Planning Chair Bush stated the purpose of this discussion item was to identify goals and action items related to the TSPC priorities in an effort to have concrete discussions in the future. 2 • Downtown Parking and Access – Commissioner Wettan suggested at least one more subcommittee meeting to obtain more feedback from Council subcommittee members and key staff prior to having a discussion at the May TSPC meeting. Following those meetings, he suggested a larger discussion follow in June with the community and major stakeholders. • Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update – Commissioner Wettan suggested the TSPC discuss the master planning efforts at a TSPC meeting after one or two community meetings. He suggested July as a good time to bring back to the TSPC. • School Traffic and Safety Issues – Commissioner Israelit felt troublesome intersections and addressing the Oak Grove crossing near Burlingame High School were two priority items to consider discussing in the near future. • Neighborhood Traffic Calming – No additional work identified at this time. • Citywide Transportation Alternatives – Chair Bush stated he would share an article he read with the Commission and staff regarding the impacts of ride sharing and driving replacements. Commissioner Londer felt it was worth pursuing the idea of Lyft and Uber subsidies as opposed to a dedicated shuttle. The Commission agreed not to bring this item back as a standalone item at this time. They felt transportation alternatives would be a component of the downtown parking and access efforts. • Electric Vehicles – Commissioner Londer suggested gathering data on the current charging stations would be helpful. The Commission agreed to table this item for now, at least until the currently planned charging stations are fully implemented. • Broadway Parking – Chair Bush mentioned Lots P and Q appear to be at maximum capacity on evenings and weekends. He also suggested they look into improving the flow of traffic from one lot to another and consider updates to the City’s parking map. Commissioner Israelit suggested looking into vehicle size requirements on Broadway as large (long) vehicles tend to obstruct the flow of traffic. The Commission agreed to conduct another parking survey and observations of the Broadway parking capacity but with a focus on the evenings—a 6 – 7 p.m. window. Chair Bush and Commissioner Israelit also pointed out the potential issues with overnight parking by nearby residents in the public lots near Broadway. Commissioner Wettan suggested talking with a few of the restaurant’s regarding the impacts that take-out customers may have on parking. The survey assignments were agreed upon as identified in the table below. Each day of the week is to be surveyed twice with the data gathering period to occur between now and the next TSPC meeting, excluding the week of spring break 3 (March 29 – April 7). Handicap parking spaces will not be included in the survey. The Chase and Wells Fargo Bank parking lots will be included in the survey.
