Transportation Optimization: Alleviating Traffic Congestion and Enhancing Safety for Burlingame Drivers and Pedestrians

  • The most notorious traffic congestion in Burlingame is at the railroad crossing on Broadway, a major gateway to the city. To improve commutes, I will fix traffic congestion on California Drive. I will work with traffic experts and city staff to implement context-sensitive design to address traffic congestion. I will support the grade separation project, a new initiative that allows for separate rail and road traffic, improving safety and reducing congestion.
  • For Parking: We face parking issues in our city especially in downtown area. I will work with city staff to install sensors and digital signage to guide drivers to open spaces, reducing search traffic. Additionally, investing in smart traffic management systems will enhance efficiency and lower costs for the city.
  • Based on listening to our residents living on Rosedale, Dufferin and other neighborhoods experiencing issues with drivers going at high speed.  To alleviate this issue I will work with the city to install dynamic Speed Display Signs, which use radar to detect and display vehicle speeds.

  • Support the Vision Zero Grant to:

    • Eliminate all traffic-related deaths in the city through a preventative approach that designs streets to anticipate driver behavior. (not sure you can ever “eliminate” all traffic-related injuries or deaths)

    • Address the specific dangers faced by vulnerable road users like students, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income communities
