Adjournment Next Regular Meeting: Thursday, February 20, 1997 Commissioners Dinner: Friday, March 14, 1997 Exhibit A Park and Recreation Commission Burlingame,Ca 94010 January 16, 1997 Dear Sirs, As residents of Burlingame we would like to have you introduce to the City Council the following proposal. We would like to see Burlingame become a more recreational oriented town. We want to create a Master Plan for our Park system, that will provide the necessary facilities for all of our constituents. our system of parks will be easily accessible by walking, bicycle, or automobile. Currently, Burlingame has a critical shortage of playing fields available. Soccer teams are given one third of a field to practice on, for one hour a week. The fields located on the eastern side of highway 101 are inaccessable to bicyclists and pedestrians. In other words, the kids have to be transported to every practice. There are over eight acres of prime land owned by the state that are located along the Bayshore that would be perfect for a new park. The three million dollar bike path that was installed a few years ago remains inaccessible to the residents of Burlingame. Highway 101 is the great divider. The old city dumps will not be able to plant for several �— years and it seems like the plans for fields is changing day to day. The Airport is expanding its wings, and this means more congestion everywhere. In the early eighties a Master Plan was created for the Bayside properties. Due to the massive expansion program of the airport and the general population growth of the area this plan should be revised. The eight acre parcel I mentioned is slated on the old plan for hotel development, and public proprietaries.. This should be amended to Public proprietaries or recreational use only. This is one of the last great open spaces Burlingame has. A group should be formed to study and suggest the best approach for the inception and creation of a Master Plan for all of our Recreational and Landscape needs. This group can send a representative to meetings of groups that already exist and are working on the county and regional level. This way there will be no duplication of work, and Burlingame will be an integral part of the regional plan.. A professional planning company, and an engineering firm will then to be hired to study the best alternative routes for the bike paths and parks allignments, and together can come up with the construction details necessary to build. The Association of Bay Area Governments ABAG is in the beginning stages of a Public Access Study, determining the eventual positioning of the Bay Trail. The new Burlingame Group will meet with the ABAG Bay Trail people to make sure things run smoothly, through Burlingame.. 9 Time is running out. Soon there will be no open spaces left. We must seize this opportunity and do it right! Let's make Burlingame a healthy place to live. lft� I have attached the Mission Statement of the Bicycle Federation of America. This is a planning and research group that has done similar projects all across the nation for cities large and small. Sincerely yours, Exhibit B THE RICYCbE FEDERATION OF AMERICA Working to create bicycle -friendly and walkable communities through... Planning, Research and program Development Professional Development and Technical Assistance Adv :y THE BICYCLE FEDERATION OF AMERICA The Bicycle Federation of America, Inc. (BFA) is a national, nonprofit [501(C)(3)] corporation established in 1977 to promote the increased safe use of bicycles for all purposes. In 1989, the BFA expanded its mission to include similar action in support of pedestrian safety and walking. Today, the BFA is working to create bicycle -friendly and walkable communities. The BFA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and operates from offices located in Washington, DC (headquarters); Middlebury, Vermont; Missoula, Montana and Burnet, Texas. The BFA staff includes experts on managing bicycle and pedestrian programs, creating and managing advocacy groups, planning bicycle and pedestrian facilities, developing safety education materials and programs, promoting bicycle helmet use and providing training on all aspects of bicycle and pedestrian program implementation. The Bicycle Federation of America is the only national organization devoted exclusively to advocating the needs of both bicyclists and pedestrians. The BFA isfnot a membivatershipfountions, organization; all income is derived from fees for services, grants and the sale of BFA publications and other products. PLANNING, RESEARCH, AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT The BFA routinely provides consulting services to federal agencies, state DOTS, MPOs and local governments as well as private corporations and other consultants. BFA specialties include re rch, policy development, public outreach, route selection and design, long range bicycle ana.,,Pedestrian plans, planning and design guidelines for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, training programs for agency transportation planners and engineers, and organizing and managing conferences. Recently, the BFA participated in planning projects for: Lubbock and San Antonio, Texas; Charleston, South Carolina; Birmingham, Alabama; Puget Sound Regional Council (Seattle), Washington; New Jersey DOT; Pennsylvania DOT and Louisiana DOTD. Other projects involved research and program development for FHWA, NHTSA, North Carolina DOT and others. Publications resulting from this work include Selecting Roadway Design Treatments to Accommodate Bicycles (FHWA), National Bicycling and Walking Study Case Studies (FHWA), and The Basics of Bicycling, an elementary school bicycle safety education program developed by the BFA for NCDOT. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE To help develop greater expertise in bicycling and walking programs, the BFA developed training courses in Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Planning and Design and Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Under the ISTEA. The BFA tailors these and a variety of other training courses to meet specific needs and requirements of public agencies. Monday December 30, 1996 America Online:JOhnlWebb - Page 1 Currently, the BFA manages the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Clearinghouse for the USDOT. As sr^h, the BFA is a center for information on all aspects of bicycle and pedestrian programs. The BFA also manages the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals, a program to enhance the effectiveness of bicycle and pedestrian transportation specialists and improve the Ste a of bicycle and pedestrian planning and engineering. Othbr BFA programs to facilitate professional development and technical assistance include: *Pro Bike News, the BFA's monthly newsletter, covers new developments in programs and research, upcoming conferences and events, new publications and materials, and recent and pending legislation. *Bicycle Forum, the BFA's quarterly journal provides in-depth coverage of bicycle and pedestrian facility design, programs and research. *Pro Bike / Pro Walk conferences are international symposiums organized and conducted by the BFA during even -numbered years to provide continuing education, advanced training and skills development for professionals and advocates. ADVOCACY As a part of its mission, the BFA assists public agencies and national associations in the development of transportation legislation, policies and programs to enhance and expand the opportunities for bicycling and walking. The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Advocacy Campaign is the BFA's principal advocacy project. Goals of the campaign include actively involving bicyclists and pedestrians in the implementation of ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991), and creating bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations at state and local levels. Funded largely by grants from private foundations, campaign activities include training for advocates ar gency staff, organizing and conducting regional advocacy Ps, and ng "tavis" for advocates such as recruitment brochures, bicycle and pedestrian action kits, and planning manuals that emphasize public participation. PEDESTRIAN FEDERATION OF AMERICA In 1989 the BFA established a new operating divisionothe Pedestrian Federation of America (PFA). The goal of the PFA is to provide the kind of advocacy and support for pedestrian safety and access issues that the BFA has so successfully given to bicycling. The PFA effort gives the BFA a solid basis for advocacy and technical assistance in the emerging area known as "non -motorized transportation."

(Coauthors: Assembly Members Agnos, Baker, Bates, Willie Brown, Campbell, Cortese, Duplissea, Eastin, Filante, Hannigan, Hansen, Harris, Isenberg, Klehs, Quackenbush, Speier, and Vasconcellos.) The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Chapter 11 (commencing with Section 5850) is added to Division 5 of the Public Resources Code, to read: Chapter 11. SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA BIKEWAY SYSTEM 5850 The Association of Bay Area Governments shall develop and adopt a plan and implementation program, including a financing plan, for a continuous recreational corridor which will extend around the perimeter of San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. The plan shall include a specific route of a bicycling and hiking trail, the relationship of the route to existing park and recreational facilities, and links to existing and proposed public transportation facilities. The plan shall do all of the following: (a) Provide that designated environmentally sensitive areas, including wildlife habitats and wetlands, shall not be adversely affected by the trail. (b) Provide for appropriate buffer zones along those portions of the bikeway system adjacent to designated environmentally sensitive areas. (c) Provide that the land and funds used for trail construction and planning are not considered mitigation for wetlands losses. (d) Provide alternative routes to avoid impingement on environmentally sensitive areas. (e) Provide that no motorized vehicles, except to the extent necessary for emergency services, be allowed on the trail. The association shall submit the plan to the Legislature not later than January 1,1989. 5851. The Association of Bay Area Governments shall establish a policy committee, which includes members of appropriate environmental organizations, to oversee development and implementation of the trail. A cooperative working relationship shall be established with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, state and federal agencies, and all other cities, counties, and districts, including school districts, which are affected by the proposed trail. The association shall establish an advisory committee representing groups concerned with environmental and ecological protection of the bay and groups representing bicycling and other relevant recreational activities. SEC. 2. Section 99234 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to read: 99234: (a) Claims for facilities provided for the exclusive use of pedestrians and bicycles or for bicycle safety education programs shall be filed according to the rules and regulations adopted by the transportation planning agency. (b) The money shall be allocated for the construction, including related engineering expenses, of those facilities pursuant to procedures or criteria established by the transportation planning agency for the area within its jurisdiction, or for bicycle safety education programs. (c) The money maybe allocated for the maintenance of bicycling trails which are closed to motorized traffic pursuant to procedures or criteria established by the transportation planning agency for the area within its jurisdiction. T{- n,,. T-0 SB 100 (d) The money may be allocated without respect to Section 99231 and shall not be included in determining the apportionments to a city of county for purposes of Sections 99233.7 to 99233.9, inclusive. (e) Facilities provided for the use of bicycles may include projects that serve the needs of commuting bicyclists, including, but not limited to, new trails serving major transportation corridors, secure bicycle parking at employment centers, park and ride lots, and transit terminals where other funds are unavailable. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a planning agency established in Title 7.1 (commencing with Section 66500) of the Government Code may allocate the money to the Association of Bay Area Governments for activities required by Chapter 11 Hcommencing with Section 5850) of Division 5 of the Public Resources Code.

SEC. 4. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are: In order to permit the development of a continuous recreational corridor around the perimeter of San Francisco and San Pablo Bays and to thereby provide urgently needed recreational facilities at the earliest possible time, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately. Burlingame City Council January 21, 1997 Dear Sirs, When Juan Bautista de Anza first viewed the San Francisco Bay in 1776, he referred to it as " A wonder of nature which might well be called The Harbor of all harbors". It took close to two -hundred years after Anza's description of the Bay, before the people of the Bay Area took measures to protect what they knew was their greatest treasure, the S.F. Bay and surrounding wetlands. Enhancing opportunities for public access to the bay shore of San Francisco Bay became a State priority in 1965 with the passage of the McAteer-Petris Act. Establishment of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) signaled state recognition of the Bay's importance and a governmental commitment to enhancing opportunities for Public access to this extraordinary natural resource. Progress in this respect has been startling. In 1965, only four miles of the Bay shoreline was open to the public. After only 20 years, this figure had grown to more than 100 miles, due to the combined efforts of the BCDC and initiatives by local, regional, state and federal agencies which created new shoreline recreational opportunities throughout the Bay Area. The City of Burlingame is currently in a pivotal position. As the authority on land use and zoning the City maintains control of the permit process for land use within its boundaries. Due to a series of interactions between certain landholders, the city of Burlingame and the State of California, eight acres of prime, Bayfront future parkland lies stagnant and unused by the State of California. The State is in the process of putting a pricetag on this land. They eventually want to lease the land to a hotel chain. The land is the last great parcel along the shoreline that is big enough for a park. This park would be spectacular in many ways. It would serve as a picnic grounds, a workout center, a water sports center, it would have two large playing fields, for sports and games. The Showboat could double as a clubhouse meeting house, restaurant snackbar etc.. With landscaping and grading changes this will be one of the most beautiful parks in the world. There are other large spaces that are big enough to develop for hotels. These other locations have views of the water, and in a couple of instances are directly on the water. Some are located closer to the Airport and some are located closer to 101. Ownership of these properties has to be researched. If Burlingame owns them, a trade might be considered by the State Lands Commission. Parking at the North and South ends of the Park will be ample for the Park. Architectural plans will need to be submitted showing locations of public facilities that will be necessary. The shoreline as it looks now will be much nicer with the Rip -rap either taken away or capped and made safer and more ascetic. An area that would be a continuation of the beautiful Coyote Point, is what we should strive for. If the Showboat is to remain, it should be repaired to its original form. The canal linking the bay with the tidal wetlands could have a hiking trail along side of it. We must put our proposal before the State Lands Commission. We must access our Eastern Shore via Broadway and/or Peninsula Ave.with a bike path. Both recreational and transportational funding should be sought, making the project in its entirety more economically feasible. We must also solicit businesses and Hotel operators to promote the installation of these recreational facilities instead of a new hotel at this particular site. These facilities will draw customers to these businesses whereas another hotel would only provide more competition, and congestion, as well as pollution. Burlingame has the opportunity to become the destination of large groups who would flock to the parks and shoreline the Burlingame stores and restaurants as well as the hotels, will profit from this influx. The great thing about it is that a lot of these people will be riding bicycles not automobiles. If it has not already been done, the incorporation of the Bay Trail into the General Plan of Burlingame should be implemented as soon as possible. A future connection to the Sawyer trail would make Burlingame a bicycle friendly town and would provide access to San Mateo County's other most beautiful open spaces, the Watershed Lands. We can't expect these things to take place overnight. Whether or not this should comprise the main focus of the new Park and Recreation Department's Master Plan should be voted on by the council. Time lines and Funding claims that will be given to the State, for the facilities or bicycle safety programs should be initiated as soon as possible. The Airport should be contacted as a possible. Hotels and businesses can try to budget in over a five year plan their contribution to the plan. I have attached Senate Bill 100 for your perusal. We appreciate your time in this most important of matters. It will affect our breathing!

Williams City of Burlingame Director of Parks & Recreation 850 Burlingame Avenue Burlingame, California 94010 Dear John: Thank you for taking the time to inspect the foot path between Ray Park and the 1500 block of Cabrillo Avenue with me this afternoon. As we discussed, the neighbors and quite concerned about the lack of lighting on the path and at the south west corner of Ray Park. Our concerns are many fold. Primarily we are concerned about the safety of the public using the path in the evening hours. The path slopes down and then back up onto the railroad car bridge over Mills Creek. We are concerned that some one might fall and be injured or worse, attacked on the footpath due to the lack of lighting. Secondarily, we are attempting to make the area less desirable for teens and young adults to use as a gathering place. Over the Christmas Holidays we had occasion to have vandalism, trespassing and littering (beer and wine bottles broken on Cabrillo) as a result to parties at Lincoln School and Ray Park. The footpath at the dead end of Cabrillo is often used by those going to "party" in the park and on the school grounds and as a result, we have noise, vandalism and litter to contend with. It is our hope that the City will install lights very soon along the footpath. Another neighbor and I met with Betty Aten (Lincoln School Principal) last Monday to enlist the help of the school district in this as well. We have asked that better lighting be installed to further discourage the areas use at night. We have asked that the school respond to this situation within 30 days. The neighborhood is concerned that if this amount of activity exists in December (wet and cold) that the problem will be out of control this summer. I look forward to a speedy resolution to this problem.
