PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA Lance Deodoti spoke during public comment regarding the parking conditions and parking restraints on Rhinette Avenue. He mentioned that his street is 50 feet wide like many other streets in the area but parking is only allowed on one side of his street. Comparatively, Mr. Deodoti pointed out that Laguna Avenue is the same width but parking is allowed on both sides of the street. He also said how impacted Rhinette Avenue is due to the Goodwill vehicles. Mr. Deodoti stated that a Goodwill vehicle struck his vehicle, causing damage to his car. Lastly, he shared his concern that the red zones are making it easier for Goodwill trucks to utilize the street and also wondered if the red zones impact home values. He requested these issues to be discussed as a future agenda item. 6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS a) Community B/PAC Update (Informational Only) No update. 2 b) Bike/Pedestrian Master Plan Update Transportation Engineer Michael Tsai and Otto Melara from Alta Planning + Design provided an update regarding the efforts to date for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. After a brief introduction, they went over the project approach, public engagement, needs analysis, preliminary draft recommendations, and next steps. Chair Bush opened public comment. Manito Velasco cautioned staff regarding the 5-year collision data that was reflected in the presentation as he felt it is not an indicator of which intersections are the most dangerous and also noted there probably was not much collision data north of Broadway because nobody is biking down that stretch of road. Mr. Velasco went on to say that he rides on the sidewalk on California Drive between Broadway and Oak Grove Avenue due to the current conditions. Mr. Velasco encouraged staff to look both forwards and back to discover what the patterns are. With regard to California Drive north of Broadway and Carolan Avenue, he stated he was hopeful that additional improvements would be made through the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan efforts beyond what has already been done. He provided examples such as fully protecting the side by the tracks on Carolan Avenue and removing parking on California Drive where there are door zone bike lanes (Mills Avenue, Oxford Road, and Cambridge Road). Mr. Velasco also stated that the 9-10 parking spaces that were added on Rosedale Avenue has created a hazard for bicyclists. He shared that there is an upcoming Measure A grant opportunity related to bike and pedestrian improvements through San Mateo County. Lastly, Mr. Velasco inquired what the plan was once the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan is adopted by City Council. Commissioner Martos was curious how B/PAC responded to the information provided and inquired about their involvement in the process to date. Mr. Tsai indicated they have had 2 of the 5 planned meetings with B/PAC and will be presenting the latest information to B/PAC next month as the Chair and Vice-Chair of B/PAC were not available to go over the information at the November B/PAC meeting. Mr. Tsai also said the public will get a chance to provide comments beginning next week. Commissioner Martos also inquired about the prioritization of the proposed improvements to which Mr. Tsai indicated that would be part of the next steps (Workshop 3 timeframe). Commissioner Wettan shared considerations that he felt were of importance. He indicated he would like to see a focus on connections to the new bike path on Carolan Avenue as it’s very hard to get there from the other side of California Drive and El Camino Real. Commissioner Wettan noticed a plan for sharrows on Carmelita Drive but encouraged staff to take a more careful look at that and how much is doable there. He also stated that the City has never been able to connect the Bay Trail west of the Holiday Inn and Crown Plaza towards Coyote Point. Commissioner Wettan suggested improvements such as surface repainting on Cadillac Way but said there is no good way to get across 101 to Cadillac Way. Additionally, Commissioner Wettan was also curious how B/PAC felt about the information 3 presented. In regards to the door zone bike lane on California Drive, Commissioner Wettan encouraged those that are not in favor of the current configuration to gather data such as whether or not the parking spaces are being utilized. Lastly, he commented that the Level of Stress Map with hexagons did not prove to be very useful. He suggested overall that the icons be easier to see on the visuals that were presented. Commissioner Wettan said the Bicycle Level of Stress Map was helpful and also suggested a close up of each school to see the activity at any given school. Commissioner Londer thanked Michael and Otto for putting together the presentation but said it was a lot of information to digest on the spot. Commissioner Londer inquired about the Measure A grant opportunity that Mr. Velasco mentioned to which Mr. Wong indicated the City has not received any call for projects to date. He inquired if bike sharing programs have been considered or if any bike sharing data was utilized as part of the master planning process and Mr. Wong indicated the bike share efforts are on hold per the Sustainability Coordinator. Mr. Melara also shared that Limebike is changing their model to scooters and therefore there is no current data available for bicycles. Commissioner Londer confirmed the 5-year collision data used for the presentation was from the end 2013 to the start of 2018. He inquired if the Limebike program the City implemented for a short time showed any significant increase in bicycle related collisions. Mr. Tsai and Mr. Melara indicated they would look into that. Vice-Chair Israelit stated she agreed with Commissioner Wettan in that there should be a connection to the recreational paths which are mostly on the far east side of the community. She said not being able to access those safely and easily is a real problem and she was hoping that would be addressed. Vice-Chair Israelit asked how a narrow road with parking on both sides becomes a designated bike route. Mr. Tsai confirmed sharrows can be used and the markings can vary. Vice-Israelit used Hillside Drive as an example and stated she has seen an adult cyclist using it maybe three times and she frequents that stretch of road multiple times a day. She said her hesitation is adding all these routes on paper but it does not change how people will be able to use the routes. Mr. Tsai responded to say that the community will have more opportunities to provide feedback regarding the initial recommendations and that there may have to be trade-offs for some of the routes, such as removing parking. Mr. Tsai confirmed the data used for how residents commute is from the 2016 Census. Mr. Melara clarified that the census data only takes into consideration the primary mode of transportation so if someone were to bike to the train station to get to work, the mode of transportation that is accounted for would be the train. Commissioner Wettan felt it was risky to rely on 2016 data for planning into 2021 and beyond. Vice-Chair Israelit felt there are a lot of kids that bike to school and wanted to be sure the bike routes surrounding the schools were well represented (Safe Routes to School). She also felt that pedestrian improvements were not discussed much and also pointed out that the Pedestrian Improvements Map was difficult to interpret. Mr. Melara said that they will be more thorough in showing the full spectrum of proposed improvements when they roll the draft plan out to the community. He explained that it was a lot of information to place 4 on one map so they have them shown in categories of improvements. Lastly, Vice-Chair Israelit suggested the Pedestrian Improvements Map include street names. Chair Bush gave thanks to Mr. Tsai and Mr. Melara as well for their efforts, including all the data gathering that went into the presentation. From a design perspective, Chair Bush was interested to know how functional versus aspirational the proposal is intended to be and what is considered near-term and far-term improvements. Mr. Tsai responded to say that it would be dependent on what happens throughout the rest of the process, such as how willing the City is to take on certain challenges like balancing parking versus bike/vehicle separation. Chair Bush stated one of his goals is to have a Class I bike route on California Drive and the proposed plan calls for a Class II facility. Mr. Tsai stated they are still looking at that stretch to determine how they present it in the Master Plan. Chair Bush also pointed out the proposed Class II bike facility on Peninsula and stated the road is split between the City of Burlingame and City of San Mateo. He felt a Class II facility would be better received along Bayswater as he felt Peninsula Avenue was not a major bike thoroughfare. Chair Bush noticed that there are only Class III bike facilities proposed to connect east to west and across California Drive and El Camino Real. He inquired if Oak Grove Avenue and Carmelita Drive should be Class II facilities in order to connect the east and west sides of Burlingame. Mr. Tsai indicated they would look into it. Chair Bush also questioned routes such as Trousdale and Adeline as he was uncertain about how desirable they would be given not many people can ride on those roads given the difficult incline. Chair Bush closed his comments to say there should be a strong emphasis on California Drive, routes to schools and shops, and accounting for the bike and pedestrian impacts that the Broadway Grade Separation will bring. Vice-Chair Israelit summarized what she thought were the main desired outcomes of the TSPC for the master planning efforts: • Class I bike facility on California Drive; • East-west connection to the Class I and II bike facilities; • Less focus on the bicycle network in the hills; and • Focus on bike path connections surrounding the schools. Commissioner Londer stated that there are long-term plans in the Downtown Specific Plan for a “road diet” on California Drive south of Broadway, which he encouraged as he felt it would help with improving the bicycle route on California Drive. Commissioner Londer also pointed out that Our Lady of Angels, Mercy High School, and St. Catherine’s are missing from the Pedestrian Improvements Map. Commissioner Wettan agreed with the summary above but reiterated it would be helpful to have zoom in maps for each school and other key areas such as the California Drive/Broadway intersection and the transit hubs. Commissioner Wettan also requested 5 that TSPC and B/PAC have a chance to go over the proposal together prior to going to City Council for consideration. He stated that this would be an opportunity for TSPC and B/PAC to have a joint meeting. Commissioner Martos concurred with Chair Bush on his comments regarding Peninsula Avenue, especially due to the upcoming interchange project. He also said traffic may look very different on Peninsula Avenue with the addition of Facebook’s Oculus, which should be taken into consideration. Mr. Wong pointed out that Facebook is working on the Bay Trail that goes around Oculus and there is a proposed Class III facility there. He also stated the Bay Trail will be updated along their perimeter and he thought the County is looking to upgrade their portions of the Bay Trail too. In regards to access to Carolan Avenue, Mr. Wong stated they met with the Chair and Vice-Chair of B/PAC and have discussed the issue in the context of the upcoming Broadway Grade Separation Project and he also encouraged people to attend the Broadway Grade Separation meeting on November 19. c) California Drive 25 MPH Speed Limit Mr. Wong provided a presentation regarding the recommendation to reduce the speed limit along California Drive between Oak Grove Avenue and Peninsula Avenue to 25 MPH. He went over the background, including observations of the newly installed roundabout. Mr. Wong stated that during the observation period, vehicles were entering the roundabout above advisory speeds, vehicles failed to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk, and also failed to yield to vehicles already in the roundabout. Mr. Wong stated as a result, the Burlingame Police Department has had a consistent presence. He said staff has also made additional improvements such as driver feedback signs, a changeable message board, upgrades to the rapid flashing beacons, and edge-lit yield signs. Chair Bush opened public comment. Manito Velasco stated the City raised the speed limit on California Drive near Auto Row in 2014 to 30 MPH. He said the portion under consideration is not the only business district along California Drive and wondered what the justification was to change just a portion of California Drive to 25 MPH. Commissioner Londer inquired about speed enforcement methods. He also acknowledged the California Drive roundabout has its problems, but he felt it was becoming safer as drivers get the hang of it. Commissioner Londer liked the idea of a 25 MPH speed limit for the entire stretch of California Drive. Commissioner Wettan stated he has mixed feelings about the proposal. He felt the immediate area around the roundabout made sense because it’s a clear safety issue. In regards to the areas away from the roundabout, he did not think 30-33 MPH was an unsafe 6 speed. He also pointed out that it was odd to him that we would have the same speed limit (25 MPH) in very different areas of the City such narrow residential streets and California Drive. Commissioner Wettan also felt that changing California Drive to 25 MPH might deter a lot of drives to take El Camino Real instead. He stated he would narrow the target area for the speed reduction. Commissioner Martos inquired about the possible road diet on California Drive and wondered if a 25 MPH speed limit would come with the road diet. He said he was in favor of the proposal as he felt it was hazardous to drive faster than 30 MPH given the current conditions between Burlingame Avenue to Peninsula Avenue. Commissioner Martos stated there should be clear signage when the speed limit changes—delineate where the speed changes. Vice-Chair Israelit is also in favor of the speed reduction but would prefer not to extend the 25 MPH limit north of Oak Grove unless there are major changes coming. For now, she felt the parameters are perfect. Chair Bush said he likes the idea of the 25 MPH speed limit as this is a challenging stretch of road. Based on the discussion, Chair Israelit made the following motion: Move to support the speed limit change on California from Oak Grove to Peninsula to drop down to 25 MPH.

In regards to Hoover School, Sergeant Perna stated they conducted morning and afternoon enforcement with two police officers and two parking enforcement officers daily. He said they took a zero tolerance standpoint and motorists were cited. Sergeant Perna did say there was confusion with the sign indicating the road is closed to through traffic during the a.m. and p.m. pick up times as some drivers thought it only applied if you had to pass the school. Commisioner Wettan suggested the sign be changed to “no entry” at the particular times. Mr. Wong stated they would look into it. Sergeant Perna distributed the accident reports and noted there were 25 accidents this reporting period. Of those 25 accidents, he said 12 were injury-accidents, 2 involved bicyclists, and 2 involved pedestrians. Sergeant Perna reported one head-on DUI crash at Airport Boulevard and Anza Boulevard. c) Farmer’s Market Commissioner Londer stated there was nothing to report as there was no TSPC presence at the last Farmer’s Market.

FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS • Transportation alternatives • Measure A grant call for projects • Traffic concerns on Rhinette • Conditions on California Drive approaching Broadway • Bike share options • Update regarding charging stations on Broadway 10. ADJOURNMENT 10:07 pm 1 STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM NO: 6.b Broadway 2-Hr Parking MEETING DATE: December 12, 2019 To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: December 12, 2019 From: Andrew Wong, Senior Engineer – (650) 558-7230 Subject: Broadway Two-Hour Parking and Meter Rate Change RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) review and support the Broadway Business Improvement District’s (Broadway BID) proposal to change the parking time restriction from the current one-hour, to two-hours, and change the parking meter rate from 50 cents per hour to $1.00 per hour, along Broadway between El Camino Real and California Drive. Moreover, the Broadway BID’s proposal includes the addition of one 24-minute parking space at the 1400 block of Broadway. BACKGROUND Burlingame has two main commercial districts, Burlingame Avenue Downtown and Broadway. Parking in both areas consist of on-street parking and public parking lots, with either meters or pay kiosks. Durations and rates for each of these parking facilities vary from 24 minutes to 10 hours, with rates from 7.5 minutes per quarter to $1.00 for all-day parking, respectively. Last September the TSPC reviewed a request from the Broadway BID to increase the parking duration along Broadway between El Camino Real to California Drive from 1-hour to 2-hours. Their proposal was based on input from their customers who commented that they did not have enough time patronizing the businesses on Broadway. The Broadway BID circulated and submitted a support petition from the local businesses. However, when the September meeting notice was sent out to the businesses, staff received numerous emails from business owners which were split between those supporting the proposal and those in opposition. The TSPC drafted a recommendation to the City Council to create a six-month pilot program to convert the 1100 and 1400 blocks of Broadway to a two-hour time limit, with studies before and during to be conducted. At the October 15, 2018 City Council meeting the Council discussed the matter and expressed concerns regarding the potential reduction in turnover of parking spaces as a result of making them two hour spaces, which may be more problematic in meeting the parking demand, and recommended exploring other options. Council recommended increasing the wayfinding parking signage and other improvements to assist individuals in finding the two-hour parking lots. Item 6.b – Broadway 2-Hr Parking December 12, 2019 2 Additionally, the City would revisit the matter after the signage improvements were complete. Subsequently, staff implemented wayfinding signage to increase awareness of the 2-hour parking on the side streets. DISCUSSION Since the wayfinding changes were installed, the Broadway BID has had internal discussions on how to improve the parking experience on Broadway and address the parking time restrictions as they currently exist. After extensive discussions at the November 21, 2019 meeting, the Broadway BID unanimously supported the following: 1) Change all current 1-hour parking spaces on Broadway to 2-hour spaces. 2) Maintain all current 24-minute meters in place, and add an additional 24-minute meter at the 1400 block. 3) Change the meter rates from 50 cents per hour to $1.00 per hour. Staff supports the Broadway BID’s request for the meter rate change from 50 cents to $1.00 per hour, as it would help address the potential problem of turnover of parking spaces, while providing the benefit of two-hour parking limits for those patrons who need it and address merchants’ concerns. Furthermore, staff would coordinate with the Broadway BID to add an additional 24- minute parking space on Broadway. Should the TSPC support the recommendation to change the parking time restriction from one- hour to two-hours and increase the meter rate from 50 cents per hour to $1.00 per hour along Broadway, staff will proceed with presenting the matter to the City Council for modifying the City Code and revise the relevant chapters for updating the parking time limitation and parking meter rates accordingly.
