Mr. Wong stated the enhancements include the following: •Intersection of Burlingame Avenue and Primrose Road – maintain esthetics with pavers, paint standard 12-inch white crosswalk lines framing pavers. •Intersection of Burlingame Avenue and Park Road - maintain esthetics with pavers, paint standard 12-inch white crosswalk lines framing pavers. •Intersection of Burlingame Avenue and Lorton Avenue - maintain esthetics with pavers, paint standard 12-inch white crosswalk lines framing pavers. •Intersection of Burlingame Avenue and California Drive – crossing California already has the high visibility ladder crosswalk; City to paint two standard 12-inch white crosswalk lines for the leg crossing Burlingame Avenue. •Intersection of Howard Avenue and Primrose Road – converting standard crosswalk to high visibility ladder treatment. •Intersection of Howard Avenue and Park Road - converting standard crosswalk to high visibility ladder treatment. •Intersection of Howard Avenue and Lorton Avenue - converting standard crosswalk to high visibility ladder treatment with bulb outs on the east side of the intersection to minimize the crossing distance due to proximity to the parking garage. •Intersection of Howard Avenue and Highland Avenue - converting standard crosswalk on the west side of the intersection to high visibility ladder treatment. Mr. Wong noted a few parking spots will be lost to the bulb outs. 3 Commissioner Ng said although it doesn’t fit into the quick-build model, he inquired about any further study into the lighting at the intersection of Howard and Lorton Avenues.

BACKGROUND As part of the development of the Meta Campus, Airport Boulevard was rerouted from Fisherman’s Park to now go through the Meta Campus. While this change did not impact parking enforcement along Airport Boulevard, the current BMC Sections 13.36.010 and 13.36.020 should be revised to reflect the changes that have occurred. Chapter 13.36, “Parking Limitations,” of Title 13 of the Burlingame Municipal Code regulates parking on City streets. Section 13.36.010(1) prohibits parking at all times on the entire length of Airport Boulevard. At the same time, however, Section 13.36.020(2) allows for parking on the east side of Airport Boulevard, from Beach Road to Fisherman’s Park, between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. In order to resolve the conflicting parking regulations, staff recommends that the TSPC support amending the Ordinances with regards to Airport Boulevard only. Current BMC: 13.36.010 No parking at any time. It is unlawful for the driver of any vehicle to park such vehicle at any time on: (1)Airport Boulevard; 13.36.020 No parking during specified hours.

Once completed, staff can then initiate the process to introduce and adopt the appropriate modifications to BMC Section “13.36 Parking Limitations”.
