PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA Kelly Schubert provided an email to publiccomment@burlingame.org and also spoke during the public comment period regarding the following traffic safety concerns. Ms. Schubert indicated the intersection of the railroad crossing on Broadway between Carolan Avenue and California Drive is dangerous due to drivers illegally crossing from the far right turning lane as they are crossing the railroad tracks and cutting off drivers to either continue straight on Broadway or to turn left on California Drive. She shared that on two separate occasions a driver cut her off and she was stranded directly on the railroad tracks with no ability to move. Ms. Schubert stated when she contacted the police, their response was that they would have ticketed her, which she felt was an unacceptable response. She indicated she observes a driver changing lanes and creating this same danger for another driver about once per week. As a result, Ms. Schubert requested permanent pylon tubes be installed that could prevent people in the right-hand turn only lane from crossing over and preventing a driver in the correct lane to go straight or turn left and from moving forward to a safe position. 2 Also, Ms. Schubert stated she works on Old Bayshore Highway and on many occasions has witnessed pedestrians almost being struck by vehicles despite the crosswalk flashers being on. She requested flashers be imbedded into the outlines of the crosswalk for pedestrian safety. Additionally, Ms. Schubert said there is a huge problem with people speeding down Old Bayshore Highway in both directions and indicated on several occasions she was nearly hit while exiting the parking lot at 1350 Old Bayshore to go towards the freeway by drivers speeding around the curve in the road. Lisha Mai introduced herself as the City’s new Transportation Program Manager. She shared her 12-year background with the City and indicated she looked forward to working with the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission and Burlingame community. 6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS a) Community B/PAC Update (Informational Only) The B/PAC Chair, Leslie Beatty, stated that most of the B/PAC have been out and about and continue to see more and more people walking and biking around Burlingame. She said it is an exciting time for our streets and how they are being utilized. Ms. Beatty stated the closure of Carolan Avenue has been a nice space being utilized a lot by families and is working as intended from the B/PAC’s perspective. She indicated B/PAC is excited to hear the proposal and adoption to close Burlingame Avenue to pedestrian only traffic and looks forward to seeing how it works. Ms. Beatty said the B/PAC is now turning their attention to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. b) Traffic Calming Request Along Sanchez Avenue Michael Tsai provided an update regarding the traffic calming efforts on Sanchez Avenue, which runs between El Camino Real and California Drive. He stated there have been several requests over the years for a multi-way stop, but each time it has not been warranted based on state guidelines. Mr. Tsai indicated that for the latest request, the neighborhood formed a petition for traffic calming in the neighborhood, but unfortunately the petition only received just shy of 50% support and the City was looking for around 66%. Mr. Tsai stated that although they were not able to get consensus, they received a lot of information from the public during the process, such as unreported collisions. Based on the collision information received, he said it was enough to recommend a pilot multi- way stop sign at Sanchez Avenue and Paloma Avenue. Commissioner Londer inquired about additional traffic calming measures and Mr. Tsai indicated that there would not be as there was not enough support from the neighborhood at this time. Commissioner Londer said he notices cars treat Sanchez Avenue as a fast cut-through and is in favor of the pilot stop sign. Chair Israelit opened public comment. 3 Riley Umezaki lives on Sanchez Avenue and thanked the Commission for considering the stop sign. Her sister, Leah Umezaki also thanked the Commission and said it would make crossing much safer. Commissioner Martos asked Mr. Tsai to elaborate on the unreported accidents. Mr. Tsai summarized the state’s criteria and stated they first look at the traffic volume on the main street and side streets and whether there is significant interaction that would need a device to assign the right-of-way. He said the second piece of information to warrant a stop sign is collision history. Mr. Tsai explained the state’s requirement is five correctable collisions in the past year and whether the presence of a stop sign would have helped correct the cause of collisions. He indicated the intersection in question was not substantiated by collision history based on the standard requirements. However, Mr. Tsai explained that although they rely on police reports for collision data, working with the neighborhood over the last year, they received several different accounts of collisions that took place—which were unreported to the police. He said pictures from residents were provided of a broadside collision that seemed to be correctable. Commissioner Martos confirmed with Mr. Tsai that the City has not received any opposition regarding the pilot stop sign at Sanchez and Paloma Avenues. Commissioner Martos also inquired about the measure of success for the pilot program. Mr. Tsai stated that they would rely on feedback from residents and improvement in speed counts. Commissioner Martos indicated he conducted a site survey of the area and noted that streets south of the intersection are multi-way stops. He said he also went through the emails from residents and noted their concerns. Commissioner Martos said that due to the narrowness of the street and visibility concerns, he suggested trying the pilot program. He said more residents could weigh in during/after the pilot program as he pointed out only 7 residents spoke out in favor of the pilot stop sign. Commissioner Bush shared the same questions as Commissioner Martos in regards to the factors justifying the stop sign. He also asked how enforceable is the stop sign and what is the downside of implementing one when we don’t exactly meet the standard warrants. Mr. Tsai stated the stop sign would be fully enforceable. He also explained that one potential downside would be vehicles not abiding by the stop sign. Additionally, Mr. Tsai explained that the proposed traffic calming measures in the petition also included trial road humps, speed radar feedback signs, and additional signage, but was not supported by the neighborhood. Commissioner Bush felt the case would be more clear-cut if there were higher speeds documented, additional accidents, and more than 46% support from the community. However, he said a trial stop sign may be worth it and noted the City can gather additional data points. Commissioner Bus closed by stated he agreed with Commissioner Martos in regards to having some concrete measurements of success. Vice-Chair Wettan stated the intersection is likely a part of a pedestrian route for some McKinley pupils and that Paloma Avenue is also an official part of the City’s bike route. 4 Additionally, he pointed out that on a narrow street, 29 MPH is quite fast. Commissioner Wettan stated they have done this before at Grove Avenue and Laguna Avenue and to his knowledge, has been very popular for those that live in the area as it helped increase pedestrian safety. He requested as a point of process, for careful records when warrants are being taken in order to make sure it is rigorous. Commissioner Wettan closed by stating the pilot stop sign is a good idea and he is glad the City is moving forward with it as it is the right call for this particular street. Commissioner Londer stated he has not heard any reason as to why the stop sign should not be implemented and requested an update after about 3-4 months into the program to get a better feel for how things are working. Mr. Tsai indicated staff can provide a near term update, in addition to the update after the one-year pilot program. Chair Israelit said she did not have much to add but did state the ability to judge objectively whether the stop signs are successful or not are difficult as a lot of accidents are not reported to the police. Without having a complete record, she said they should measure success by how the neighborhood feels subjectively. Chair Israelit stated she wished more of the neighborhood would have signed the petition but she is not opposed to the pilot stop sign. No motion was made as this item was just an update to the Commission regarding how staff plans to move forward with traffic calming on Sanchez Avenue. 7. INFORMATION ITEMS a) Engineering Division Reports • Broadway Grade Separation – The Joint Powers Board (JPB) issued the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the final design on May 5, 2020.

ADJOURNMENT 8:23 p.m. 1 STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM NO: MEETING DATE: July 9, 2020 To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: July 9, 2020 From: Jennifer Lee, Env. Regulatory Compliance Coordinator – (650) 558-7230 Subject: Chapin Avenue Feasibility Study Update RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) receive an update regarding staff efforts on the Chapin Avenue Green Streets Project. Following the presentation and discussion, staff is seeking feedback and a ranking of the three options as part of the project’s outreach efforts. BACKGROUND The City of Burlingame is a permittee of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit which requires that large urban areas discharging stormwater into the San Francisco Bay or the Pacific Ocean prevent harmful pollutants from being dumped or washed by stormwater runoff into the storm drain system. This permit sets regulations for achieving pollutant load reductions from mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by treating runoff through green infrastructure. Green infrastructure uses vegetation, soils, and natural processes to manage water and create healthier urban environments, it essentially mimics nature by soaking up and storing rainwater. Examples of projects that utilize green infrastructure include the Donnelly Rain Gardens, California Drive Roundabout, and most recently, the Burlingame Community Center. In 2017, the City contributed to a countywide effort with the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County and worked with stakeholders and the public to prepare a Stormwater Resource Plan (SRP). The purpose of this plan is to provide detailed analysis of stormwater and dry weather capture projects for the County. Chapin Avenue was one of twenty-six projects with a conceptual design fact sheet in the SRP. Chapin Avenue is a relatively wide street compared to other downtown City streets and includes 98 feet of public right-of-way. This excess width can encourage cars to travel at higher speeds, double parking by vehicles and delivery trucks, and illegal street crossings by pedestrians. This has the combined effect of making the area less appealing for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. In addition to traffic concerns, stormwater runoff from this commercial and parking dense corridor flow directly to the storm drain inlets on Primrose Road without treatment. Treating the runoff from this street would significantly improve the water quality from this area as well as provide treatment credit for new development projects that replace impervious surfaces. Item 6.b – Chapin Green Streets Project Update July 9, 2020 2 Because of these existing conditions, Chapin Avenue was also included in planning documents such as the Downtown Specific Plan as a street with the ability to improve in areas of traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle safety. To date, City staff and consultants from Wilsey Ham and Callander Associates have conducted three public outreach meetings: one to the Downtown Burlingame Business Improvement District members and two to the public. Staff invited property owners and residents within 300 feet of the project site, as well as the Beautification Commissioners, Citizens Environmental Council of Burlingame, City Councilmembers, Community Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Planning Commissioners, and Traffic, Safety, and Parking Commissioners. Wilsey Ham and Callander Associates have been working with City staff to study the opportunities and constraints for improvements on Chapin Avenue. DISCUSSION Based on the feedback from the community meetings, the design team has developed three options utilizing the right-of-way along Chapin Avenue. Option A: Maximizes parking by repurposing the middle of the street with reverse angled and parallel parking spaces and a landscaped/pedestrian area. As the street approaches El Camino Real, the middle lane would transition to a turning lane and/or loading zone. The travel lane width reduced to 12-feet, and the existing parking spaces converted to either reverse angle (western portion towards El Camino Real) or parallel parking spaces (eastern portion towards Primrose Rd). These spaces allow for an improved Class III bicycle facility on Chapin Avenue. The existing sidewalk area would be enhanced with new planter areas and new streetlights. There would also be a mid-block pedestrian crossing with bulb-outs for stormwater retention and a pedestrian refuge island with plantings in the median. Option B: This option introduces a 10-foot wide median strip designated as a turning lane and parking zone (western portion towards El Camino Real) and a planted median (eastern portion towards Primrose Road). The travel lanes are 12-feet, with parallel parking replacing the existing angled parking. The existing sidewalk area would be enhanced with new planter areas and streetlights. Between the parking area and sidewalk there would be a six-foot planter strip and a five-foot bike lane. This planter strip would be a bioretention area for stormwater runoff. There would be bulb-outs at all the pedestrian crossings on Chapin Avenue. There would also be a mid-block pedestrian crossing with bulb-outs for stormwater treatment and a pedestrian refuge island in the median. Option C: Similar to the previous two options, the existing sidewalk area on both sides of the street would be enhanced with new planter areas and streetlights with bulb-outs at the pedestrian crossings on Chapin Avenue; while the travel lanes would be 12- feet. The median would be a 10-foot wide strip designated as a turning lane or loading zone (western portion towards El Camino Real) that transitions to a 9-foot wide planting median (eastern portion towards Primrose Road). Along Chapin Avenue, there would be a mixture of parallel and nose-in angled parking. The bicycle facility would be a Class IV against the curb, utilizing the parking as an Item 6.b – Chapin Green Streets Project Update July 9, 2020 3 additional buffer. There would also be a mid-block pedestrian crossing with bulb- outs for stormwater treatment and a pedestrian refuge island in the median. The Traffic Safety and Parking Commission should receive the update and provide feedback from both the TSPC and community. As part of the project’s outreach, staff is requesting a ranking of the three options. Staff and the design team will utilize the feedback from tonight’s meeting and incorporate it into the next community meeting for the project.

July 9, 2020 To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: July 9, 2020 From: Andrew Wong, Senior Engineer – (650) 558-7230 Subject: Burlingame Avenue and Broadway Street Closure Pilot Program Updates RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) receive an update regarding the Burlingame Avenue and Broadway Street Closure Pilot Program. BACKGROUND On June 9, 2020, the City Council held a special meeting to consider temporarily closing off Burlingame Avenue between El Camino Real and California Drive to facilitate safe outdoor dining and safe pedestrian activity. The City Council directed staff to implement the temporary closure for a period of one month before evaluating whether to extend it further. As part of the deliberations at the June 9, 2020 meeting, the City Council expressed an interest in creating parklets on side streets in the Downtown Burlingame Avenue area. Additionally, during the public hearing, the Broadway Business Improvement District (BID) President John Kevranian requested that the Council consider closing Broadway to facilitate outdoor dining similar to Burlingame Avenue. On June 24, 2020, the Economic Development (ED) Subcommittee held a special meeting to discuss the parklets concept and options to allow additional outdoor dining along Broadway. Jenny Keleher, President of the Downtown Business Improvement District (DBID), Mr. Kevranian, and Georgette Naylor, President and CEO of the Burlingame/SFO Chamber of Commerce, and Ajay Walia, owner of Rasa, attended the ED Subcommittee meeting. At the July 6, 2020 City Council meeting, the proposed parklets in the Downtown Burlingame Avenue Area and the closure of Broadway were discussed. From the feedback at that meeting, staff will present an update to the TSPC. DISCUSSION Based on the input from the ED Subcommittee, DBID, BID, Burlingame Chamber of Commerce, businesses, and community members, changes to the existing roadway were introduced/proposed for the streets in Downtown Burlingame Avenue and Broadway. These changes include the previously approved closure of Burlingame Avenue, parklets on the Item 6.c – Burlingame Avenue and Broadway Street Closure Pilot Program Updates July 9, 2020 2 Downtown Burlingame Avenue side streets, and a closure of Broadway. The attached staff report (Item 9a from the July 6, 2020 City Council Meeting) provides the details on: 1) Burlingame Avenue street closure update; 2) Parklets on side streets in the Downtown Burlingame Avenue area; and 3) Broadway street closure. The Traffic Safety and Parking Commission should receive the update and provide feedback. This item does not require any further action.

BACKGROUND On June 9, 2020, the City Council held a special meeting to consider temporarily closing off Burlingame Avenue between El Camino Real and California Drive to facilitate safe outdoor dining and safe pedestrian activity. The City Council directed staff to implement the temporary closure for a period of one month before evaluating whether to extend it further. As part of the deliberations at the June 9, 2020 meeting, the City Council expressed an interest in creating parklets on side streets in the Downtown Burlingame Avenue area.

DISCUSSION Burlingame Avenue Street Closure Update Per the City Council direction at the special meeting on June 9, 2020, staff implemented the one-month pilot street closure of Burlingame Avenue on the weekends of June 19-21 and June 26-June 28. The street will also be closed July 3-5. The pilot program will end on July 19, 2020 unless extended. Based on staff observation and input and feedback received from the public and the business community thus far, the street closure has been working successfully. There have been concerns, however, about some members of the public not following social distancing guidelines and not wearing face coverings. As a result, staff has increased signage regarding the importance of wearing face coverings and maintaining safe social distancing and has included such messaging in the eNews. The DBID also added similar messaging to their street kiosks. In addition, at least one business owner is concerned that the closure is having a detrimental impact on his business. He and his employees report that the business is receiving far fewer customers than they were before the street closure. At the City’s request, the DBID is in the process of conducting a survey of their members to obtain feedback, using questions drafted by City staff. Staff will share the survey results with the Council when they become available. Since the initial weekends have proven successful, staff recommends extending the pilot program through the end of September. That should provide sufficient time to properly monitor traffic circulation and parking conditions as well as identify any safety issues that may arise. The extension will also allow adequate time to monitor the program and collect the necessary data to conduct CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) studies should the Council wish to continue the program on a long-term and/or seasonal basis in the future. Parklets on Side Streets in the Downtown Burlingame Avenue Area Parklets are public seating areas that convert curbside parking spaces into community spaces will still maintain uninterrupted and safe traffic circulation and access to businesses and parking facilities. At the June 24 ED Subcommittee meeting, staff presented options for parklets on the various side streets downtown. The Subcommittee agreed with the suggestions and recommends that the City Council consider allowing parklets on Primrose Road, Park Road, Lorton Avenue, Howard Avenue, and Chapin Avenue. The attached plan shows the parklet concept and locations. The parklets would be created using heavy duty industrial plastic hydro-barriers that are typically used in construction to provide increased safety to parklet users. It is important to note the parklets will be in place every day, not just on weekends, as the barriers are more difficult to place and remove than the barriers used for the Burlingame Avenue weekend closure. Public Hearing Regarding Temporary Street Closures and Creation of Parklets July 6, 2020 Facilitate Safe Outdoor Dining and Safe Pedestrian Activity 3 In addition to the previously estimated loss of parking on Burlingame Avenue of approximately 150 to 160 parking spaces when the street is closed on the weekends, the creation of parklets will result in a parking loss of up to approximately 60 to 70 spaces on side streets in the downtown area on both weekdays and weekends. This estimate is based on maximum utilization of parklets. The actual figures will be known after the City determines which restaurants wish to participate. Although there are parking facilities in the area that will still be available, there will certainly be times when parking is tight, and the City will hear complaints from visitors about lack of parking and from nearby neighbors about their streets being overrun with parkers. Broadway Street Closure At the June 24 special meeting, the ED Subcommittee discussed various options to facilitate outdoor dining on Broadway, ranging from creating parklets along Broadway in front of restaurants to fully closing off the street for motorists between California Drive and El Camino Real. At the City’s request, the Broadway BID distributed a survey to Broadway merchants prior to the special meeting. The survey was originally intended to obtain input and determine whether merchants supported parklets on Broadway. However, due to concerns regarding the loss of parking, the Broadway BID added additional language seeking feedback on street closures. The initial survey feedback indicated mixed support for parklets, and there was considerably more support for a street closure on weekends. After extensive discussions regarding both options, the ED Subcommittee remained concerned with both the potential traffic impacts from closing a busy street, as well as the loss of parking resulting from the creation of parklets (which would remain in place every day of the week). The ED Subcommittee directed staff to present both options to the BID and report back, as there was a concern that the BID survey respondents may have not properly understood the options since they had not seen renderings of the barriers or maps of where parklets might be installed. Staff attended a special BID meeting on June 26, 2020 and presented both options along with concept drawings. After reviewing and discussing the options, the BID members expressed strong support for the closure of Broadway from Chula Vista Avenue to Capuchino Avenue on a weekly basis from Friday at 4 PM to Sunday at 10 PM. Broadway is a major east-west arterial street connecting US Highway 101 and El Camino Real, with heavy traffic volume and traffic congestion. Closing off Broadway would exacerbate the traffic congestion and may potentially increase safety concerns. Staff is concerned that closure of Broadway would detour the traffic onto nearby, narrow residential streets. Additionally, there are one-way side streets that cross Broadway, which may present traffic circulation and access issues to nearby residential properties and parking facilities. Closing Broadway off on weekends only (starting on Saturday mornings, rather than on Friday afternoons) may lessen those impacts as the traffic is observed to be generally lighter on weekends than weekdays. On July 1, the ED Subcommittee held another special meeting to discuss this matter. The meeting was attended by BID President John Kevranian, and a representative from Gigi’s Boutique on Broadway. The Subcommittee supported piloting the temporary closure of Broadway on weekends only, from Saturday at 8 a.m. to Sunday at 10 p.m. Both Mr. Kevranian Public Hearing Regarding Temporary Street Closures and Creation of Parklets July 6, 2020 Facilitate Safe Outdoor Dining and Safe Pedestrian Activity 4 and Gigi’s Boutique representative expressed the need and importance of having the street closed on Friday to allow for outdoor dining to help restaurants. After reviewing the needs of the restaurants, and analyzing concerns regarding potential traffic impacts resulting from street closure during rush hours on Friday evening, the Subcommittee recommended that Broadway be closed off from Saturday morning at 8 AM to Sunday at 10 PM, and monitor the conditions before considering any expansion to include Fridays, and/or make changes as needed, including stopping the closure if the conditions get worse. The attached street closure plans shows Broadway closed off at Chula Vista Avenue, which would allow westbound traffic to detour at Chula Vista Avenue as well as at California Drive. Similarly, eastbound traffic would be closed off at Capuchino Avenue, which would provide an opportunity for detouring at both Capuchino Avenue and El Camino Real. Paloma Avenue and the northbound approach of Laguna Avenue would remain open to traffic for safe traffic circulation and to maintain access to residential properties and parking facilities. Laguna Avenue would be closed off at Rhinette Avenue to detour the southbound traffic because the southbound access currently terminates at Broadway. However, the northbound traffic on Laguna Avenue will be allowed to maintain safe circulation, and access to residential properties. Additionally, this will help reduce potential vehicular conflicts in that segment of the street. The plan provides an approximately nine foot wide pedestrian area along the sidewalk on both sides of the street along the frontages of businesses and restaurants, which would satisfy ADA (Americans with Disability Act) requirements. The restaurants will be able to use the approximately 11 foot wide diagonal parking area along their frontages for outdoor dining purposes on both sides of the street. The middle part of the road, which is 24 feet wide (travel lanes), will be available for additional pedestrian activity and will serve as an emergency response access lane when needed. Approximately 50 to 60 parking spaces would become unavailable on weekends if the City Council approves the temporary weekend closure of Broadway. As with the Burlingame Avenue commercial district, there are nearby parking facilities on either side of Broadway, but parking will become tight on busy weekends. Next Steps Should the City Council approve adding parklets to the downtown side streets and closing Broadway on weekends as a pilot program, then interested restaurants must obtain an encroachment permit from the Public Works Department and adhere to all permit conditions and City requirements for using the public right-of-way as follows: • All restaurants, eateries, retail businesses, and members of the public must abide by the State of California Health Orders with respect to social distancing, masks, etc. • Restaurants must follow the County Health Orders for serving food, including providing PPE (personal protective equipment) for employees, and providing washing stations for patrons. • All sales, service or consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be in compliance with the California Alcoholic Beverage Control Act as described in Division 9 of the California Public Hearing Regarding Temporary Street Closures and Creation of Parklets July 6, 2020 Facilitate Safe Outdoor Dining and Safe Pedestrian Activity 5 Business and Professions Code and any implementing regulations or other applicable laws. Each restaurant using the City right-of-way for outdoor dining is responsible for the safety of their patrons. The City’s existing sidewalk encroachment permit template can be adapted to cover the expanded dining areas and the City Council can direct that the City waive encroachment permit fees for outdoor dining during this program. • The businesses must maintain ADA access at all times. • Each restaurant using the outdoor dining space is responsible for keeping their frontage sidewalk and the parking lane areas clean at all times. • All tables and chairs should be removed from the sidewalk and street at the end of each day. • The DBID and Broadway BID will serve as liaisons for these projects and will coordinate with merchants and businesses to ensure all the conditions are met. Potential Cessation of the Programs Prior to the End of September Staff wishes to highlight for the City Council and the public that the City may remove any of the street closures or make adjustments if they are causing traffic congestion, circulation concerns, safety concerns, parking problems, and/or emergencies. Additionally, the City may remove any of the street closures or make adjustments if social distancing/face covering requirements are ignored. In addition, staff suggests the Council consider terminating either of the street closures or the parklets if 30 or more complaints are received from separate people/businesses concerning traffic safety, congestion, parking, and/or public health and safety. FISCAL IMPACT There will be significant staff time and resources utilized to plan, set up and remove the traffic detour and road closure signage on a weekly basis and to respond to issues and manage the street closures and parklets. This will impact staff’s regular duties and affect other City services and work programs. Staff estimates the cost of setting up and removing the street closure on Broadway to be similar to Burlingame Avenue, which is estimated at approximately $10,000 to $12,000 per month. Additionally, staff estimates the cost of renting and setting up barriers to create parklets is $20,000 to $30,000 per month. Regarding loss of parking revenue, staff estimates the overall loss is approximately $20,000 to $30,000 per month. The overall total fiscal impact of the pilot program is estimated to range from $60,000 to $80,000 per month. The actual figure may vary and will be determined after the completion of the pilot program.
