NEXT TRAFFIC, SAFETY & PARKING COMMISSION MEETING: Thursday, October 10, 2019 City of Burlingame Page 2 Printed on 9/9/2019 rC1 AGENDA ITEM NO BURLINGAME STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: September 12, 2019 From: Andrew Wong, Senior Engineer — (650) 558-7230 Subject: Revising Turn Restrictions on Vancouver Avenue RECOMMENDATION 6.b — Vancouver Turn Restriction September 12, 2019 Staff recommends the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) support Roosevelt Elementary School's request to revise the turn restriction in the afternoon from 2:45-3:15 PM to 3:00-3:30 PM. BACKGROUND At the May 11, 2017 TSPC meeting, Roosevelt Elementary requested implementing a turn restriction from Carmelita Avenue onto Vancouver Avenue as they wanted to reduce vehicle conflicts which occur during drop-off and pick-up periods, Monday through Friday. The restriction prohibits vehicles from turning onto Vancouver Avenue from Carmelita Avenue between 8:15-8:45 AM and 2:45-3:15 PM, Monday thru Friday, when school is in session. At the same meeting, the TSPC supported this restriction, and it was subsequently implemented. Recently, the Burlingame School Board voted to allow Roosevelt Elementary to change their daily schedule. For the 2019/20 school year, they will be dismissing the majority of their students at 3:15 PM. DISCUSSION The turn restriction has been in place for the past two years. During this period there has been no feedback from the community other than staff from Roosevelt Elementary commenting on the effectiveness. Roosevelt Elementary recently requested to revise the restriction time in the afternoon from 2:45-3:15 PM to 3:00-3:30 PM. Other than this change, the restriction will continue to be a time of day restriction during the drop-off and pick-up periods, and all other times of day, there would be no restriction. Based on positive feedback from both Roosevelt Elementary staff and the City's School Liaison Officer, staff supports the request of Roosevelt Elementary to revise the afternoon turn restriction. Exhibits: • Roosevelt School Letter • Meeting Notice 1 jl� +fir Roa evek S C H O O L Matthew Pavao, Principal June 19, 2019 To Whom it May Concern: Thank you for the implementation of the traffic flow sign on Carmelita. For the past two years it has greatly helped our traffic flow at Roosevelt and kept our students, families and teachers safe. Recently, the School Board voted to allow us to change our daily schedule. For the 19/20 year we will now be dismissing a majority of our students at 3:15 p.m.. We had been dismissing at 3:00 p.m. Because of this change, we are requesting that the sign on Carmelita reflect our new schedule. While we don't need any of the language to change, changing the times to 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. would insure that our traffic flow would still be safe and clear. We do not need any change on the sign for our morning drop offs. Our start time of 8:30 a.m. will remain the same. Please tell us what support you will need to make this change happen. Thank you for your time and efforts.
