Director Of Traffic assigned this issue to Senior Civil Engineer - AW

My name is Jim Ford and I am the Director of Traffic for the Burlingame Police Department. I have assigned a parking enforcement officer to conduct passing checks in front of Sees Candy and Rollins Rd. I have re-assigned this request to the Transportation Engineer to evaluate for signage issues.

Thanks John for bringing up. Those large Bekins tractor trailer trucks are giant walls that block visibility. Also happens at the entrance to Nothing But Hoops at 1881 Rollins, though that one is not signed like See's.

Maybe the City can put in a 'pilot Stop sign' here the same way they'll be putting one in at Rollins/North Carolan.

On 02/17/16 at 9:00 am, a Parking Enforcement Officer visited the area. She did not see any large trucks on the street. I am sending out one of our Nighttime police units to look for the large truck.

Thank you!

We still continue to conduct passing checks. Graveyard Officers and Parking Enforcement Officers have not seen any violations. We will continue to monitor the area.

Greatly appreciated!

John,

Thank you for request. Staff will review the sign location and coordinate with BPD on enforcement of the height restriction.

Coordination with BPD to increase enforcement in this area has been initiated.

I believe driving out of the driveway of Design Tech High School going north or south is dangerous because you can't see the oncoming cars driving north bound Rollins road. You need to red zone an extra 2 car lengths to make it safe. Please revisit the area. I have spoken to many families about this and they are ready to sign a petition. Thank you!

Hi John, Agree with you that it's very difficult to exit out of the dTech driveway, as well as all the other driveways on that side of Rollins. That includes Burlingamer, Prime Time Athletic, SkyHigh Sports, Tesla and the SPCA. A big part of this is that the traffic lanes are shifted way to that side of Rollins. You can barely edge out of the driveways and see oncoming traffic, because the lane is right there. It wasn't always this way. In 2013, the City put in the bike lane on the opposite side of the street, in the southbound direction. If you look closely on the street, you can see where the lane lines used to be - you can see the old lane line scars.

Pointed this out then and was told that 'curb painting was not part of the project' but 'would be looked at'. I hope the City adds the red zone at dTech as you described as soon as possible and also looks out for the rest of the driveways there. Now you know the rest of the story.

As of this August, Dtech High School now has more than 450 students and more parents are dropping and picking up kids. It's a very active driveway. Dtech will be leaving August 2017, but Peninsula High School will be moving in. This area will be active. Red zoning 2 car lengths south of the driveway will be a tremendous help.

Extension of the red-curbing an additional 7-feet on the south side of the driveway located at 1800 Rollins Road (Design Tech High School) was completed on 5/4/2017.

Work request 621 was completed on 5/4/17.
