Items from Staff Members: New Committee Member Mark Kim was welcomed to BPAC. All members and staff introduced themselves. Principal Planner Wooley-Ousdahl gave an update that a Safe Routes to School travel fellowship effort has begun for Westborough Middle School. The purpose of this effort is to identify safe and comfortable ways for students to walk, bicycle, roll, and take transit to school. The final deliverable will be a Safe Routes to Schools Plan. Committee Member Guzman is participating as well as Associate Engineer John Wilson, Senior Engineer Jeff Chou, Westborough Vice Principal Jimmy Cappels, and Principal Planner Wooley- Ousdahl. The City received a grant from the San Mateo County Office of Education for this effort. The walk audit will be conducted in the spring, and Principal Planner Wooley-Ousdahl will invite BPAC members to join. Currently, the project team is working to identify additional entry points that students can use to walk or bike to the school. Most students arrive by car; some students arrive by bus, and many get off at the bus stop outside the 7-11 on Callan Boulevard. The project team is going to look at ways to make the Westborough Boulevard / Callan Boulevard intersection more visible and identify opportunities to improve safety and comfort along routes to the school. Committee Member Guzman requested an update from Senior Engineer Jeff Chou regarding the Safe Routes to School Plans for other schools. Committee Member McAuley asked if Safe Routes to Schools Plans will be created for the three high schools. 6 Public Comment: South San Francisco resident Mark shared that he commutes via bicycle to Brisbane on Bayshore Boulevard. He said that the intersection with the freeway off-ramp is very stressful for bicyclists. He understood that there was a plan to move the bicycle lane to reduce the conflict and requested an update on this. Figure 1 shows the bikeway at this location. This location is in the City of Brisbane; however, City of South San Francisco staff will follow-up on this. Figure 1.
