6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
a) Community B/PAC Update (Informational Only)
Ms. Beatty stated the B/PAC is gearing up for a pedestrian/bike tour to be led by Alta
Planning next month. She said it would be about a two hour tour starting at 3 PM prior to
the start of next month’s B/PAC meeting. Ms. Beatty also said the B/PAC will have a few
comments to submit to the City regarding the 2018 striping plans. She also said they
saw the initial list for 2020 striping and will be providing feedback on those plans as well.

Commissioner Wettan clarified the striping plans for Carolan and Cadillac do not include
the crossings.
b) Lyon Hoag Traffic Calming Update
The City’s consultant, TJKM, provided a presentation regarding the Lyon Hoag traffic
calming efforts. Topics covered included project background and goals, progress to
date, outreach efforts, refined alternatives, and next steps. (See presentation for details.)
No public comments were received.
Commissioner Londer inquired about the timing of the phasing. Mr. Wong indicated the
shorter term projects would take a few months depending on the cost, Council approval,
etc. Mr. Wong also confirmed that the traffic circles would use the current roadway and
would also result in the loss of a small number of parking spaces. Commissioner Londer
also confirmed speed humps would allow for emergency vehicles to pass through.
Commissioner Wettan requested an example use case regarding cut-through routes and
what those percentages were. The consultant stated that traffic from Rollins Road uses
Dwight Road as a shortcut to Highway 101. Although the percentage off cut-through
traffic is not high, the consultant explained that the goal is to ensure that percentage
does not increase.
Vice-Chair Israelit expressed her concern with the number of traffic calming measures in
one specific neighborhood considering there are other areas in the City in need of
improvements, such as bulbouts on Trousdale near the Middle School. She did not want
to put a full focus on one neighborhood since improvements in other neighborhoods
have been delayed due to lack of funding. The consultant explained the traffic calming
measures will be reviewed at the third community meeting and will be narrowed down at
the time—what was presented is not the final design for the traffic calming efforts. The
consultant also stated that the improvements selected will also be determined by
available City funding.
Chair Bush shared that the Girl Scout Troop that meets in the Lyon Hoag area
expressed their concern about the speeding that occurs on Dwight Road. He also stated
there is a lot of interest in containing the issues within the neighborhood. Chair Bush
also confirmed with the consultant that bulbouts are a more effective way to reduce
speeds compared to a roundabout at the intersection of Rollins and Bloomfield.
The Commission continued to ask some clarifying questions and then thanked TJKM for
their comprehensive presentation. TJKM also thanked everyone on the Citizen’s
Advisory Panel (CAP) for their thoughtful input and assistance.

movement onto Cadillac Way, resulting in a minor injury (complaint of pain).
c) Farmer’s Market
Commissioner Londer indicated there was no presence at last month’s Farmer’s Market.
He stated there is an upcoming opportunity to work the Art and Wine festival in lieu of
the Farmer’s Market; times were not yet determined.
d) TSPC Chair/Commissioner’s Communications
Commissioner Wettan received an email from a resident regarding a stop sign on
Paloma. He said the resident was unhappy that not everyone was noticed about the
discussion related Sanchez and that the traffic counts were taken mid-day instead of
during the peak traffic times (morning and evening).
Chair Bush observed a near pedestrian and vehicle related collision on Burlingame
Avenue behind the train station. He stated the driver apologized and said the sun was in
his eyes. Chair Bush felt there are challenges at that location since vehicles are not
required to stop and are moving fairly quickly.
8. COMMISSION & SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
a) Downtown Parking (Martos & Wettan)
Commissioner Wettan stated the estimate was approximately $100k for valet-assist
services three days per week. He said based on the calculation, the City will be paying
$16 per car per day. He also said the next marginal batch of spaces would cost almost
twice as much. Commisioner Wettan said that 40 additional spaces from the valet-assist
services and 38 spaces from Lot O was a cost effective deal, but it still puts the City in
the negative (give or take 22 spaces) when Lot N goes offline. When Lot F goes offline,
he said the City will be down roughly 100 spaces. Commissioner Wettan said they had a
lengthy discussion regarding transit incentives to discourage employees of the
downtown area to drive to work.
Commissioner Wettan stated a lot of time has been dedicated to reviewing the supply
side of the equation but no time has been devoted to an incentive program for
6
employees. He was hopeful the TSPC could think through a pilot program that would
help determine how people respond to certain transit incentives. Commissioner Wettan
said he would reach out to Mayor Colson, Councilmember Ortiz, and Commissioner
Martos to see if they would be open to the idea.
Vice-Chair Israelit encouraged staff to reach out about the vacant medical building
parking on California Drive again. She also asked if the City could approach Caltrain
again regarding their underutilized lot near Maverick Jack’s. Lastly, she inquired if the
City was going to look into additional spaces up against the fence in Lot Q.
Commissioner Wettan inquired if staff was going to look into converting some of the red
and yellow zones where the City could pick up a few spots.
b) Broadway Parking (Bush & Israelit)
No update.
c) School Traffic (Israelit & Londer)
No update.
d) Citywide Transportation Alternatives (Londer & Wettan)
Commissioner Wettan stated that some ideas were floated around such as specific ride
share assistance from Millbrae Bart to the Downtown areas and an open ride share
subsidy program.
9. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
• Downtown demands
• Turn restriction time change on Vancouver
• Broadway Business District discussion (October timeframe)

Complete Streets Project as it’s been about a year since its completion. He stated some
elements are working really well and requested any temporary measures be made permanent.
Mr. Velasco encouraged the TSPC to request a report back about what’s working and what is
not. He said there are still some challenging portions, such as in front of Goodwill, but on the
whole, it was a great project.
6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
a) Community B/PAC Update (Informational Only)
Ms. Beatty shared that the B/PAC went on a six mile bike ride with City Council, staff, and
planning consultants. She said they covered a lot of territory; they went up through BIS,
down Murchison, over to California Drive and over to Broadway and across the tracks
down Carolan. Ms. Beatty said they had the opportunity to give feedback and the
consultant will be coming back to their next meeting in October to present their initial
2
findings. After that, Ms. Beatty said a community meeting would follow in order to present
the findings.
b) Roosevelt Elementary Turn Restriction
Mr. Wong stated Roosevelt Elementary changed the time of the pick-up window from 2:45
– 3:15 PM to 3:00 – 3:30 PM and therefore he recommended that the Commission support
the time change for the turn restriction to coincide with the new pick-up time.
Mr. Wong indicated that notices were sent out to invite the public and Principal Matt Pavao.
The City only received one email stating they had no issue with the time change of the
turn restriction.
As a result, Commissioner Wettan made the following motion:
Move to support the staff recommendation to change the turn times from Carmelita
to Vancouver from 2:45 to 3:15 PM to 3:00 to 3:30 PM.

b) Police Department Reports
Sergeant Dave Perna reported 40 documented accidents in this reporting period—a
significant increase. Of those, he stated there was one fatal vehicle/pedestrian accident
and three accidents involving bicyclists. Included in the total number of accidents are three
outside agency reports per Sergeant Perna.
Commissioner Wettan felt there should be a review of the area in response to the fatal
accident, such as adequate lighting and location of sidewalks. Sergeant Perna stated that
in response, the BPD conducted a pedestrian decoy operations at various locations in the
City. He said upwards of 35 violations were issued in about a 6-7 hour period.
Commissioner Londer commented that he continues to see people speeding and failing
to yield at the California Drive Roundabout. Sergeant Perna stated that the BPD is doing
targeted enforcement at that location and will continue to do so. Mr. Wong said that staff
is working on other planned improvements such as changing the yield signs to something
more dynamic and providing advance warning as you approach the roundabout, possibly
a rumble strip.
Chair Bush inquired about an accident reported at the intersection of El Camino Real
(ECR) and Floribunda that was reported on Nextdoor. Per Sergeant Perna, the only
information the BPD had was that it involved a Fiat, BMW and truck and that all parties
were okay and information was exchanged.
Sergeant Perna stated that they have the ability to access information that has been
reported to insurance companies for accidents that did not generate a police report. Mr.
Wong stated that without knowing the primary collision factor, the accident would not be
included in the overall statistics for the intersection of ECR and Floribunda.
5
Commissioner Israelit commented on the number of DUI accidents (4) as she thought that
was a high number. Sergeant Perna explained that 3 of the accidents were related to
alcohol and one was drug related. He also agreed that the number of DUI collisions were
high but also pointed out that the total number of accidents increased significantly this
reporting period as well.
Sergeant Perna stated that they have two scheduled DUI deployments through the OTS
grant. He also shared that he is working on an application for 19 additional DUI
deployments.
Sergeant Perna also shared that BPD conducted a pedestrian and bike safety
enforcement decoy operation and issued approximately 40 citations at various locations.
Commissioner Wettan suggested Quesada and Trousdale as a location for the next
pedestrian and bike safety enforcement sting given the high volume off traffic and
proximity to schools.
c) Farmer’s Market
Commissioner Londer stated the Citizen’s Environmental Council will participate this
Sunday. Commissioner Londer was unsure about his availability and said TSPC may wait
and participate next month.
d) TSPC Chair/Commissioner’s Communications
Commissioner Londer reminded everyone that the Pet Parade is September 28 and
Broadway will be closed until at least noon.
Commissioner Wettan shared some observations, one of which was a large tree covering
a stop sign at Trousdale and Ogden. He also said on Trousdale, near 280, there is a left-
turn lane and a lane to go straight and it’s an awkward signal that doesn’t seem to match
the traffic behavior. Mr. Wong indicated that the City received a See Click Fix ticket
regarding that area but part of the problem is there is only one receiving lane once you
cross Skyline. Mr. Wong also indicated that there is a sign for through traffic to merge right
and the City also added additional left-turn arrows. Lastly, Mr. Wetten tried to use the
EVgo station on Broadway (Parking Lot Y) but it is not compatible with Tesla’s. He said
an expensive adapter is required and he felt more than half of the electric vehicles in
Burlingame were Tesla’s. Mr. Wettan also pointed out in both his visits to Broadway,
the parking lot was empty. He posed the question if EVgo would consider refitting the
machines in order to be usable for Tesla drivers. Chair Bush also inquired if EVgo
could provide usage reports. Mr. Wong stated he would reach out to the EVgo rep.
Commissioner Wettan also suggested staff review the EVgo contract.

8. COMMISSION & SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
a) Downtown Parking (Martos & Wettan)
No update.
b) Broadway Parking (Bush & Israelit)
Vice-Chair Israelit stated she spoke to Mr. Wong about considering some changes to
California Drive near Goodwill such as removing four on-street parking spaces to have the
bike path continue straight. She also said oversized cars are parking in the diagonal spots
on Broadway which blocks the lane of traffic.
c) School Traffic (Israelit & Londer)
Commissioner Martos asked if the City has 15 MPH signs near all the schools, including
BIS. Mr. Wong stated they have all been implemented but he is going to double check the
sign on Quesada.
d) Citywide Transportation Alternatives (Londer & Wettan)
Mr. W ong agreed to reach out to the City of Palo Alto regarding parking incentives.

Grove/Carolan; however, delay impacts can be mitigated through signal timing changes.
With a new signal at Oak Grove/Carolan, the free-flowing eastbound approach will
experience delays, but the overall operation of the intersection will improve. Staff is
moving forward with design.

DISCUSSION
Some of these items may have been originally presented to City staff and/or the Traffic Safety
and Parking Commission as public requests or comments. Items on this list are matters that
