5. PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA
Management Analyst Lilliana Cifuentes read the following emails received for public comment.
The Journal article was the first that I have heard of this. I know I don’t go or follow the working of the
cities plans on a regular basis, but you say that there was a “reach out” to city residents. I talked to
my neighbors on Crescent and Barroilhet and not one knew of the project. Taking away lanes of traffic
and putting in a bike lane seems to me at least to be money not well spent. I talked to my auto
mechanic, and he was totally in the dark about this new bike lane. He says that there is no way that
he can run his shop with the lane in place and the parking being removed. Just putting in my thoughts
on this, maybe do a business-by-business survey to make sure that this is going to work for them and
their customers.

The owners and tenants have not had any Input or prior notification of the Bike lanes proposed.
According to the business owners they have not been Notified in writing or in person. This change will
affect all of the business in the district on California drive. The Burlingame city should have a Road and
traffic study of this community to determine the effects of implementing this change of the city’s busy
roadways. It really seems that the city needs to Listen to the community to better understand the
needs of the businesses and the individuals who frequent this traffic zone.
Sincerely
Jay Beard
__________________________________________________________________________________
Good evening, and I hope all the commissioners are well. I'd like to request that you add to a future
agenda an item addressing traffic routing and enforcement plans in the instance of closures of El
Camino Real, both emergency and planned.
With the storms this year and planned construction, ECR has been partially or completely shut down
several times. In these cases, traffic is disrupted, often creating unsafe conditions at ECR intersections
or in the neighborhoods directly east and west of ECR. Our neighbors out for morning walks, kids
crossing streets on the way to schools, anyone on a bike, and neighbors trying to pull out of their
driveways are all subject to unpredictable and unsafe conditions on the streets.
It would be ideal for the city to put into place traffic routing and enforcement plans that could be
implemented as needed along ECR. Secondly, I suggest that the city publicly recognize the tremendous
effort and bravery of the Burlingame School District crossing guards. They really do keep our kids safe.
Thank you!
Note: this is not a BPAC comment, but a personal comment

6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
a) Receive Presentation and Obtain Feedback for the Trousdale/Murchison/Davis Bicycle Facility
Improvement Project
Mr. Wong provided the following background on the project. He said the City/County Association
of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) serves as the Congestion Management Agency and
is responsible for the development and implementation of the TDA Article 3 Program in San
Mateo County. Last year the City applied for the TDA Article 3 competitive grant program for the
Murchison Drive, Trousdale Drive, and Davis Drive Bicycle Improvements Project. This project was
identified from the established priority list included in the City’s 2020 Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plan (BPMP). The project scope consists of engineering design, including preparation of
3
plans and specifications, and the construction of bicycle facilities along Murchison Drive,
Trousdale Drive, and Davis Drive.
Mr. Wong pointed out the project aims to support Safe Routes to Schools, enhance connectivity,
and improve safety and comfort for all riders. He explained the design concepts included in the
BPMP will be further analyzed and vetted as part of the design process involving community
outreach and feedback. He showed the preliminary project cost is estimated to be $1,025,000,
and $400,000 in TDA Article 3 grant funds were awarded to the City.
Mr. Wong indicated the design concept for Trousdale Drive in the BPMP includes a road diet with
buffered bike lanes in both directions and parking will be maintained. This design concept will
remove one travel lane from each direction and add a center turn lane. For Murchison Drive, he
stated there will be separated bikeways in both directions with no trade-offs to parking or travel
lanes. Mr. Wong said we are essentially mirroring what the city of Millbrae has on their side of
Murchison.
Mr. Wong shared there is no conceptual design for Davis Drive from the BPMP but pointed out its
ranking within the document—all three streets have 7 or 6.5 points. He said the intention is to
maintain all parking on Davis Drive. Mr. Wong stated they would be outreaching the community
for input. He then went over the outreach process and pointed out the project is currently in the
conceptual phase with the design team and getting ready for the first community outreach
meeting.
Chair Israelit opened the public comment period.
Manito Velasco stated he supports this project, and the grant application was well-crafted. He
said it would be nice to see a map that shows the limits of each project. He also pointed out that
both Murchison and Trousdale were paved recently and said it’s unfortunate that the brand-new
pavement and striping will have to be grinded out to install the bike lanes. Mr. Velasco said looking
forward, when the streets are getting paved, to get a look ahead so that we can put back striping
for free after the paving project. He said Davis Drive is a critical path to BIS and his hope there is
for some speed reduction measures. Mr. Velasco also requested the City consider reducing the
speed limit on Trousdale, especially in front of the hospital to 25 or 30 MPH.
Management Analyst Lilliana Cifuentes read the following email received for public comment.
Thank you for sharing the information that these bike projects will be moving forward. We support
the conceptual designs proposed as they will calm traffic and provide safe access by bike to
important destinations. We noticed that there was no mention of what will happen on Davis Drive.
If Davis Drive is to be the designated bike boulevard for BIS, it must have some traffic calming
applied to it to be safe. It's not a breeze to make it up Davis Drive on a bike under the best of
circumstances, as it is reasonably steep. Add to it that BIS does not have lockers and the kids cart
4
around extremely heavy loads on their backs, they are likely to be going pretty slowly. With the
existing pace and volume of traffic it does not seem possible that this would create a safe situation.
We recommend you add the Davis Bike Boulevard into the BIS safety discussion, so that the bike
routes can be considered alongside the proposed car routes for a more holistic discussion.
Leslie Beatty
Commissioner Leigh asked for clarification on the scope of the project in terms of the project
limits. Mr. Wong said he believed Trousdale and Murchison are between California Drive and
Quesada Way, and Davis Drive is between Quesada Way and Albemarle Way. However, he said
he would confirm those details. Commissioner Leigh stated she was also hopeful speed reductions
would be considered as part of this project. She said she was also in favor of mirroring the
improvements in Millbrae on the city’s side of Murchison.
Vice-Chair Rebelos inquired about the timing of the first community meeting. Mr. Wong stated
they are looking to identify a date and that the goal is to have it soon—between now and summer.
He echoed Commissioner Leigh’s request to have the bike lanes go through the intersection.
Commissioner Ng asked about the status on SB37 to reduce speed limits. Mr. Wong said there is
no update and stated they are trying to find out more details about it.
Commissioner Martos asked about the preliminary plan for Davis Drive. Mr. Wong stated it is a
Class IIIB – bike boulevard which consists of sharrows and traffic calming elements. Commissioner
Martos stated he also liked the idea of mirroring the improvements in Millbrae on the city’s side
of Murchison.
Chair Israelit felt that it was too early in the design process to provide comments on the project
and her fellow commissioners agreed.
b) Receive Presentation and Obtain Feedback for the 2023 Annual Resurfacing Update
Mr. Wong provided a presentation regarding the 2023 Annual Resurfacing Project. Mr. Wong
stated that Burlingame utilizes an independent firm that reviews and determines the “pavement
condition index” (PCI) score for all City streets. He shared that Burlingame’s street score averages
76, which is above average for San Mateo County cities. Mr. Wong explained that based on the
PCI, available budget, coordination of other City projects, and other factors, staff identifies streets
proposed for the annual resurfacing project and then presents the list to the City Council at the
annual budget meeting. The 2023 Street Resurfacing Project scope consists of performing asphalt
concrete “dig-out” repairs, surface milling, asphalt concrete overlay, traffic markings, traffic
striping, concrete improvements, and other related work on the following streets:
1. Adeline Drive – El Camino Real to Cortez Avenue;
5
2. Bayshore Highway – Mitten Road to Mahler Road (digouts only);
3. Broadway – Vancouver Avenue to El Camino Real (digouts only);
4. Burlingame Avenue – Carolan Avenue to Dwight Road;
5. Donnelly Avenue – Primrose Road to Lorton Avenue (digouts only);
6. Gilbreth Road – Cowan Road to Mahler Road (digouts only);
7. Guittard Road – Rollins Road to end; and
8. North Carolan Avenue – Edwards Court to Rollins Road.
Mr. Wong then addressed previous comments provided by the Community B/PAC.
1) Beach/Airport
We spent the most time on this because there is a lot going on in this intersection. This place is a
hotbed of bikes/peds, and work definitely needs to be done, including protecting the intersection for
bikes getting over to the bay trail, and adding pedestrian crossings. We recommend Burlingame slow
down on this one and remove it from this repaving cycle and add it to the next once it can be given
the thought it deserves.
City response: Airport Blvd. will be revisited with the 2024 Street Resurfacing Project
2) Adeline (2 blocks next to El Camino Real)
Add a Hi-vis crosswalk on Adeline @El Camino Real (Caltrans). And add yellow crosswalks + advance
stop lines on all 4 parts of the Adeline + Balboa intersection. Ultimately, the block of Adeline between
ECR and Balboa should have a widened sidewalk since it is HEAVILY trafficked by families walking to
Lincoln and people have to frequently walk in the street to pass each other. Could we widen the
sidewalk mid-block and taper it at the ends?
City response: Hi-vis crosswalks and advanced stop lines are added when within the project limits;
this includes Adeline/Balboa. Requests outside of the project limits will be reviewed and addressed
with separate projects. Concrete sidewalk repair is not part of the street resurfacing scope, and this
request will be forwarded to the sidewalk program.
3) Burlingame Ave (3-4 blocks directly East of California Dr.)
We'd like hi-vis, yellow crosswalks + advance stop lines at all of these intersections. We believe that
these should be striped as school crossings because they abut a property on which the high school is
located.
City response: Staff recommends "white" high visibility crosswalks at these locations that are
consistent with the Lyon Hoag pedestrian improvements.
4) Anita & Burlingame Ave.
Please red stripe the curb in the middle (this used to be here but was removed, you can see what we
mean here with the truck parked that reduces visibility).
6
City response: This issue was resolved by City Staff as part of a separate request.
5) Burlingame Ave and Bloomfield Road
We’d like to extend curbs visually with paint since people blow through that intersection.
City response: This request can be reviewed with the next phase of the Lyon Hoag traffic calming
improvements.
In closing, Mr. Wong went over next steps, which included that the project has been advertised for
bids, with award of contract anticipated for the June 15, 2023 City Council meeting, and construction
to begin summer of 2023.
There were no public comments for this item.
Commissioner Martos inquired how the projects were prioritized. Mr. Wong said there is not a straight
algorithm they use, but they start with the budget, and balance many variables, such as how many
streets they need to do, if they can get grant funding for larger arterial streets, the impact the
improvement will have, etc.
Vice-Chair Rebelos was wondering about the streets that are in light industrial areas, which are
impacted by vehicle weight and asked if there were special criteria or a different funding source for
those. Mr. Wong said he does not believe so but stated they have a different requirements compared
to local residential streets.
Commissioner Leigh inquired about school crossings at Adeline/Balboa, Adeline/Cortez, and
Adeline/Bernal. She wanted to know if those intersections have four-way high visibility crosswalks
with stop bars. Commissioner Leigh felt the school zones should be high priority. Mr. Wong confirmed
they are all-way stops with high visibility crosswalks, but he would have to confirm the advanced stop
bars. Commissioner Leigh asked about the intersection of Burlingame Avenue and Anita Road near
BHS. Mr. Wong said it will be a high-visibility crosswalk with advanced stop bars. Commissioner Leigh
inquired about the intersections at Donnelly/Primrose and Donnelly/Lorton. She requested a high-
visibility crosswalk and advanced stop bars at Donnelly/Lorton and just a high-visibility crosswalk at
Donnelly/Primrose. Mr. Wong clarified there was no crossing on Lorton, but they would take a look
at the Primrose intersection.
c) BIS School Safety Update
Transportation Engineer Michael Tsai provided a presentation regarding the BIS school circulation
plan. Mr. Tsai stated the project goals are to reduce congestion around the school and increase
pedestrian safety to and from school. Chair Israelit shared that she is on the committee with
Commissioner Ng, and they felt the safety situation around BIS was not acceptable and they have
been working on ways to mitigate the conflicts they observed with pedestrians, cars, and bicycles
7
going to and from school. She said this is something they have been working on for almost three
years. Chair Israelit stated the plan they are presenting tonight may not be perfect, but it has been
given much thought, and many options have been considered and revised countless times.
Mr. Tsai then went into the proposed circulation plan. (For ease of understanding, presentation
visuals have been included below.) Mr. Tsai explained traffic originating from Quesada is in the
green arrows and the blue arrows are cars originating from the neighborhood. Mr. Tsai stated the
school drop-off exit is up Clarice to Sequoia or Marco Polo. He indicated the yellow arrows
represent traffic only utilizing the satellite drop off location from Davis Drive.
Mr. Tsai stated that in order to facilitate this kind of movement, a few things need to be done
(displayed in white boxes in the image above). He said students can be dropped off in the loading
zone on Quesada.

Mr. Tsai then went into animated slides, which displayed existing pedestrian pathways and vehicle
circulation, and pointed out the points of conflict. The following visual is the pedestrian pathway and
vehicle circulation should the proposed plan be implemented. Mr. Tsai explained that the red arrows
represent pedestrian movements, and all other arrows are vehicles with different points of origin.
Mr. Tsai went over the supporting infrastructure needed to implement the above plan. He shared
those changes include turn restriction signs and markings at the school exit driveway; crosswalk
relocation at Quesada and Clarice; new crosswalk at satellite drop-off location at Marco Polo and
Clarice; new additional pedestrian drop-off area, and no westbound vehicles on Clarice. Mr. Tsai
stated that additional infrastructure considerations include a new multiway stop at Davis and Marco
Polo; installation of red curb to enhance visibility at feasibly intersections; and installation of school
warning assembly signage as appropriate. He said one thing that is not shown on this plan is a bike
cage but said it will be implemented by the school, on school property. Chair Israelit helped identify
the locations of the bike cages to be installed. Chair Israelit also briefly reiterated the circulation plan
and the thinking behind it.
9
Commissioner Ng stated that there were so many different constraints they were working with, they
exhausted many options, and they went through 7 or 8 iterations of the plan since he has been on the
committee. He said he wanted to stress that this is a great first step. Commissioner Ng stated there
are assurances that they will continue to monitor this and make adjustments as necessary.
Chair Israelit opened the public comment period.
Management Analyst Lilliana Cifuentes read the following email received for public comment.
Thank you for your work towards making it safer for BIS students to get to and from school. We
are extremely happy to see some movement on this very important area. With over 1,000 students
on a campus located on streets that flat out can't handle that traffic, we support improvements
that make it safe and convenient for kids to walk and bike as much as possible. We are supportive
of your efforts to see if there is a suggested traffic flow of cars that can create a calmer and more
manageable situation, including not allowing left turns on Clarice. We'd add the following
suggestions:
• please add the most popular pedestrian routes and the preferred bicycle routes to this
map so it can be understood how these different modes will interact and identify any
spots that need to be considered.
• we do not support taking the crosswalk at Clarice/Quesada out. It is fine to add a
second leg of the crosswalk, but it is unrealistic that kids will go out of their way to
cross in a crosswalk. We should design for what we know the kids will do, because
they are humans, and not what we'd like them to do.
• Currently, the designated bike boulevard is Davis Drive, but in this design, it seems
likely that Davis will have heavy car traffic and will be unsuitable for a bike boulevard.
We'd like to suggest that only the lower blocks of Davis be designated as a bike
boulevard (Albemarle to Marco Polo) and that bikes then be sent up Clarice to
correspond with the traffic restrictions that are recommended in this plan.
• Lastly, we'd like to suggest that the city reopen the topic of a second bike cage or
moving the bike cage entirely to the southern end of BIS, which would allow the vast
majority of kids biking to avoid the Quesada/Clarice mess. It was not possible two
years ago because the school was starting construction of a new gym. That
construction is wrapping up, and it would be worthwhile to explore again.
Leslie Beatty
The following public comment was received via email but was not read formally for the record.
My name is Ingrid Gauthier and I am the BIS PTA president. BIS PTA community would love you
be part of the conversation about the BIS safe route. We are here to support your committee in
finding a safe and doable solution for this ongoing issue.
10
I would attend your TSPC meeting tonight however sadly we are hosting our pta meeting at the
same time and we weren’t aware of this being on your agenda.
Our next pta meeting in on Friday May 12 at noon, if you could we would LOVE for you to join us
and share your updates and finds with our community.
We so appreciate that there is a committee looking out for our children, and we really do want to
find a way to help with a solution by working together.
Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you,
Ingrid Gauthier
Commissioner Martos asked for the details for the drop off area on Marco Polo. Chair Israelit said
there are two parking spaces in front of the “L” shaped building, but it is an informal drop off area.
She said there are no homes or businesses in the first stretch where the drop off area is designated.
Commissioner Martos asked how people will know it’s a designated drop off area. Mr. Tsai explained
there are two unofficial drop off locations now that don’t have any signage. He said to facilitate the
desired circulation plan, they would be able to do things like a white passenger loading zone with
signage and time restrictions. Commissioner Martos said he wants to make sure it’s clear that is what
those zones are there for.
Commissioner Martos inquired if the circulation patterns will be enforced as he saw a lot of one-way
arrows. Chair Israelit stated there will be signage, like Hoover, Roosevelt, and other surrounding
schools. She said there will be parent education and a police presence to help with education and
enforcement similar to what they did with Hoover School. Commissioner Martos said he thinks the
circulation plan is great, and suggested as we educate the parents about the circulation that it
continues as a regular reminder throughout the school year and not just once at the start of the school
year.
Commissioner Leigh clarified the one-way traffic is during school hours. She suggested making the
crosswalk at the casual student drop off area a controlled intersection. Towards the school on Clarice,
she said the corner of Clarice and Sequoia is another casual drop off location for students and parents
who use Sequoia to get to Trousdale. Chair Israelit clarified they will not be able to do that any longer
with the proposed circulation plan—the one way is eastbound during drop off.
Commissioner Leigh suggested speed controls such as speed humps along Davis Drive, similar to what
was done in the Lyon Hoag neighborhood. She also suggested instead of having the bike boulevard all
the way up Davis Drive to Quesada, she suggested allowing bikes down Clarice and have Clarice be
the bike boulevard the last two blocks as opposed to Davis. Commissioner Ng stated it was a great
point and explained that was one iteration the committee considered. He explained the challenge is
now you are flowing bicyclists into the egress of where they are directing cars to exit northbound on
11
either Sequoia or Marco Polo. Commissioner Ng also stated that speed humps on Davis are being
considered.
Commissioner Leigh indicated she liked the vehicle traffic circulation plan and felt it was a good
improvement. She reiterated the desire for a controlled intersection near the satellite drop off
location. Commissioner Leigh said she would like to see more pedestrian enhancements and
suggested additional stop signs along the route.
Mr. Tsai shared there is very little room for bicycles to operate, that is why the main goal was to
alleviate the congestion issue first to see if the improvements would help create additional space for
bicyclists and pedestrians. He also pointed out the Davis Drive bike project is running concurrently.
Additionally, Mr. Tsai indicated there is a previous multi-way stop effort at Marco Polo and Davis that
will pick up again.
Vice-Chair Rebelos asked about any controls at the intersection as you exit right from the BIS driveway
and make that left onto Clarice. Mr. Tsai stated it could be one motion and pointed out the crosswalk
will be moved and out of the way of that turn movement. Vice-Chair Rebelos inquired if there was
any consideration to closing the drop off loop and forcing students to be dropped off along Quesada
as it would eliminate another conflict point. Chair Israelit stated that was a consideration, but they
felt that would create more conflicts of students walking through the faculty parking lot. Mr. Tsai
pointed out that there would be more conflicts with the school buses without the campus drop off
loop. He did say they also considered moving the bus drop off, but the school did not support moving
the bus drop off further because it hinges on faculty operation.
Commisioner Leigh asked if there were other access routes to the school for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Chair Israelit confirmed there is not.
Chair Israelit closed by saying the motivation for this project is to increase bicycle and pedestrian
safety—not once was it their priority to improve the convenience of vehicle traffic. Commissioner Ng
stated he appreciated the collaborative effort that was made—it was top notch.
Commissioner Leigh made a motion to support the project as presented. Vice-Chair Rebelos seconded
the motion and it passed unanimously.
7. INFORMATION ITEMS
a) Public Comment Related to Informational Items
Management Analyst Lilliana Cifuentes read the following email received for public comment.
Hello there again,
12
Acc to the Engr’s report, the $1.7M contract for the California Dr bikeway was already awarded
by Council and about to start in May.
The California Dr project did go twice in front of TSPC – once in June 2021 and again in August
2021. In both cases, I don’t remember any businesses commenting on the parking removal. It was
never clear if they were notified about that specifically. In fact, at the August 2021 TSPC meeting,
the Chair asked about outreach to the businesses, and the city consultant and the city staff said it
was “too early” on in the process. But that outreach would happen if parking were to be removed.
The Chair also at the time asked if a vote was necessary and was told - by staff - one wasn’t
necessary yet.
Earlier in tonight’s presentation, there was a slide showing the sausage-shaped slide of the public
process. The 2nd TSPC box said, “Staff seeking TSPC support”. Does that mean a vote? That vote
obviously didn’t happen on California Drive. If it did, then the Commissioners might have had a
chance to ask and consider input from the businesses.
So, my question: Is the intent for all future capital projects going in front of the Commission,
including those discussed earlier today, that TSPC vote to support the project before it moves to
Council? I think this is a good idea. I hope the Commissioners will consider making this procedural
improvement and clarification. Thanks!
Manito Velasco
b) Community Group Updates
No updates received.
c) Engineering Division Reports
Mr. Tsai provided the following update on various Public Works – Engineering projects.
• Burlingame Station Pedestrian Improvements Project – Construction crews worked
diligently around inclement weather conditions and have completed all concrete sidewalk
curb and gutter work. Final roadway resurfacing is scheduled for the week of April 17.
• California Drive Bike Facilities (Broadway to Oak Grove) – Construction Contract awarded to
Interstate Grading & Paving, Inc. for $1,686,692.50 which was in line with the engineering
estimate. Pre-construction meeting was completed on March 29 and construction slated to
start in May.
• BIS School Safety Study – Staff and TSPC subcommittee presented new school circulation plan
to BIS school staff. The proposed circulation plan is supported by improvements to school
13
grounds as well as to neighborhood roadways in the immediate vicinity.
• Burlingame Pedestrian Safe Routes and Mobility Improvements – Grant funded Citywide
pedestrian project enhancing roughly 30 locations. Caltrans E76 was approved in April.
Chair Israelit inquired if there was any update on the Broadway and California Drive intersection.
Mr. Tsai said it is in the works and it will be brought back to TSPC at an upcoming meeting. She
also asked about the traffic signal project at Oak Grove and Carolan. Mr. Tsai said it is currently in
95% design.
Commissioner Martos asked about the Lyon Hoag traffic calming survey. Mr. Tsai said the
consultant will be collecting volume data soon and explained that they were considering reaching
out to some of the people from the first survey to see if their experience has changed over time
or just sending out an entirely new survey. Commissioner Martos said he was under the
impression a new survey would be available. Mr. Tsai responded that was the original plan and it
still may happen. Commissioner Martos thought it was important to get more feedback through
an additional survey.
Commissioner Leigh asked if the Commission would receive a list of what the Burlingame
Pedestrian Safe Routes and Mobility Improvements would be. She also asked about the
improvements proposed on Burlingame Avenue to enhance the crossings. Mr. Wong said the
Burlingame Avenue improvements are part of that project and offered to meet the
Commissioners out in the field to go over any specific concerns.
d) Police Department Reports
Sergeant Roberts provided the collision report for both February and March as the March TSPC
meeting was cancelled. He shared there were 19 collisions over the reporting period of February
2023. He stated there were 12 vehicle/vehicle collisions, 5 vehicle/parked vehicle collisions, 1
collision with a fixed object, and 1 vehicle/bicycle collision. Sergeant Roberts said there were no
DUI collisions in February and shared the primary collision factors included unsafe turning
movements or stop sign/right-of-way violations.
For the month of March, Sergeant Roberts reported 32 collisions, which is fairly higher than the
previous month. He shared that of the 32 collisions, 22 were vehicle/vehicle collisions, 3
vehicle/parked vehicle collisions, 6 collisions with a fixed object, and 1 vehicle/pedestrian
collision. He shared there was 1 DUI collision. Sergeant Roberts indicated the primary collision
factors included unsafe turning movements, speed, unsafe starting or backing, and several right-
of-way violations.
