The motion was seconded by Commissioner Israelit. The motion passed 3-0, with Vice- Chair Martos abstaining. 5.PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA The following email was received and read for the record. Some personal details have been removed. Dear Burlingame TSPC Members, My name is Michael Clay and I live with my wife, kids, and mother-in-law on Hillside Drive for the past 6 years, as well as living in Burlingame in total for the past 12 years. Item 4.a 2 Anyway, our family loves Burlingame and extends our appreciation & gratitude for all that you do to keep everything running smooth and safe! On a related note, this is the first time I've reached out to the city of Burlingame for help and/or guidance. Specifically, we've noticed some safety issues at the moderately trafficked (pedestrians & vehicles) intersection of Hillside Drive and Alvarado Ave. For example, my mother-in-law was walking south across Hillside Drive at Alvarado Ave (to pick-up our kids from Hoover elementary school) and was side-swiped & knocked-down by a car traveling east down Hillside Drive. Thankfully, she only had minor injuries, but it could have been worse. Also, I witnessed a similar accident where a vehicle sideswiped a pedestrian at the same location a few weeks earlier. Furthermore, many of our kids need to cross this tricky intersection as they walk to and from Hoover elementary school throughout the year. Overall, I believe part of the issue is that the east-bound stop sign on Hillside Drive and Alvarado Ave sits back a bit from the intersection and causes it to be a bit blind for drivers traveling east on Hillside Drive. Meaning, it's not easy to see pedestrians walking across Hillside's pedestrian walkway. Thus, we were curious if a possible solution to this tricky intersection could be to install a pedestrian crossing light (blinking yellow road lights & sign)? Lastly, I'll be attending your meeting tomorrow, Thurs, March 14th at 7 pm and hopefully we can discuss the intersection and solutions at this meeting or future meetings. Please let me know what you think and thanks again for all your help and support. 6.DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS a)Lyon Hoag Traffic Calming Update Transportation Engineer Michael Tsai provided a presentation regarding the Lyon Hoag Traffic Calming Project and the after-study results. He went over the initial concerns, project goals, timeline, outreach efforts, and preliminary solutions. Mr. Tsai then compared speed and volume counts in November 2018 versus after the Phase 1 improvements in May 2023. See table on the following page for statistics. 3 Mr. Tsai also shared statistics regarding cut-through traffic. 4 The remainder of the presentation was focused on the neighborhood survey results, which consisted of 203 responses from the community. For details of those results, click here for a link to the presentation. No action items occurred; this was an informational presentation to the Commission. No public comments were received. b)TSPC Bike/Ped Master Plan Project Selections for Upcoming Grants Senior Engineer Andrew Wong provided a presentation regarding bike/ped project selections for upcoming grant opportunities. Mr. Wong went over federal and county grants the City typically applies for. He shared the project list from the Bike/Ped Master Plan (BPMP) with the intent to obtain feedback on project selections from the TSPC. Mr. Wong requested the Commissioners review the “unaddressed” bicycle and pedestrian projects from the BPMP priority list. He asked each Commissioner to select up to 3 projects each to generate a “TSPC preferred project” list. Mr. Wong suggested they obtain feedback from the community. He said the Commissioners could email him their top three projects, but his intent is to bring this back to another TSPC meeting to obtain community feedback as well. No public comment was received. c)Committee Formations Senior Engineer Andrew Wong stated at the February 2024 meeting, the Commission discussed annual priorities and potential committees. He said four committees were established, but with the absence of Vice-Chair Martos the appointment to the committees were postponed from all but one committee—BIS School Safety. Mr. Wong shared the BIS School Safety Committee consisting of Commissioners Israelit and Ng. Chair Rebelos confirmed the following appointments for the remaining TSPC Committees. •Hillside Drive Safety and Traffic Calming – Commissioners Israelit and Ng •Key Performance Indicators (KPI) – Commissioner Cauchi confirmed and Chair Rebelos is tentative. •ECR Renewal – Vice-Chair Martos and Commissioner Israelit •Vision Zero – Chair Rebelos and Vice-Chair Martos Chair Rebelos tabled the Broadway Pedestrian Safety Committee. He said he felt it was redundant since Mr. Wong and his team have a project in the works, in addition to the Broadway Specific Plan (Citizen’s Advisory Committee) and Vision Zero. 5 No public comment received. 7.INFORMATION ITEMS a)Public Hearing Related to Informational Items No public comments received. b)Community B/PAC Update No update. c)Engineering Division Reports Mr. Wong provided the following update on Public Works-Engineering related efforts. •BIS Circulation and Pedestrian Improvements Update – Staff is checking with BIS staff regarding making the drop-off zone on Quesada Way permanent and has replaced the temporary weathered signs with new ones at both locations. Additionally, the turn restriction signs on A-frames have been replaced with new weather-resistant signs. BPD has placed BIS, specifically Clarice Lane, on their selective enforcement list for patrol officers. Although the Traffic Enforcement Division has been understaffed, they have been onsite recently with enforcement. They found there were approximately 15-20 vehicles that attempted travel westbound on Clarice Lane. Officers were able to contact most of the drivers and re-educated them on the turn restrictions. Officers found that nearly all the violators were BIS parents (except for approximately two). Traffic officers will try to make it onsite again within the next month and then report back. Staff have also contacted BIS staff for assistance to remind parents of the turn restrictions, as well as the same assistance from the BIS PTA. Corporal Morrell added that recently there have been only a handful of violators each day— typically parents who have already been educated—and said BPD will start issuing citations soon. Commissioner Israelit said she spoke with the crossing guard who stated things are much better. Commissioner Israelit said her observations are that it’s still congested and slow, but it’s orderly—a major difference. 6 d)Police Department Reports Corporal Morrell reported 13 collisions this reporting period (February). Of the 13 collisions, 11 collisions were vehicle/vehicle collisions, 1 with a vehicle/parked vehicle, and 1 involving a pedestrian. He said the pedestrian collision occurred at California Drive and Floribunda Avenue. Corporal Morrell stated unsafe turning and speed were the primary collision factors. Please refer to the Collision Report for specific details. Vice-Chair Martos confirmed with Corporal Morrell that e-bikes must follow the same rules as bicycles. Corporal Morrell said if bikes are in the road, they should follow the same rules as vehicles and if they are walking their bikes, they should follow the same rules as pedestrians. Vice- Chair Martos inquired about enforcement and education of e-bikes, including challenges the PD faces with e-bikes. Corporal Morrell stated they have had two public presentations on e-bike safety, among other things. He said their concerns with e-bikes are primarily with the speed at which they can travel. Corporal Morrell stated they are looking to continue with additional training and education. Commissioner Cauchi suggested incorporating best practice training to the parents on driving and being more aware of bicyclists and pedestrians. Chair Rebelos suggested education at some of the upcoming summer events. Chair Martos confirmed with Corporal Morrell that e-bikes do not have to be registered. e)TSPC Chair/Commissioner’s Communications No updates. 8.COMMITTEE REPORTS a)Public Hearing Related to Committee Reports No public comments received. b)BIS School Safety Study (Israelit & Ng) No update. c)Hillside Drive Safety and Traffic Calming No update. 7 d)ECR Renewal No update. e)Key Performance Indicators No update. f)Broadway Pedestrian Safety Chair Rebelos tabled this Committee, but they will continue to monitor this priority. 9.FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Mr. Wong stated they may need to cancel or postpone the April TSPC meeting.
