• 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.

Chair Londer and Commissioner Bush indicated they would send their survey
templates to Mr. Wong in order to merge the two documents and finalize into one
template. The Commission agreed to bring this item back for discussion in April.
• Bike Share Feedback – Chair Bush suggested the Sustainability Coordinator
present bike share options to the TSPC.
7. INFORMATION ITEMS
