6.DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
a)Downtown Burlingame Pedestrian Enhancements (Discussion Only)
Mr. Wong provided a presentation regarding the latest efforts associated with Downtown
Burlingame pedestrian enhancements, which was generated by a site walk with former
Commissioner Leigh from the Burlingame Avenue Pedestrian Safety Improvement Committee. He
explained that enhancements were limited to quick build devices and that staff plans to
implement them as part of an upcoming work program.
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.

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. He noted there
is no streetlamp on the southeast corner near the Highland Parking Garage. Mr. Wong stated he
will follow up on this request. In the short term, he said he will follow up with Corp Yard staff
about enhancing the current available lighting.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) review, discuss,
select, and make a motion of support amending Sections 13.36.010 and 13.36.020 of Chapter
13.36, “Parking Limitations,” of Title 13 of the Burlingame Municipal Code to clarify the no parking
restrictions and locations along Airport Boulevard.
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.

Code to clarify the no parking restrictions and locations along Airport Boulevard. Once completed,
