Top issues during term (8)(Roads)
$46 million street repair investment
$44 million committed over five years for paving and street repair.
Regional transportation grant applications
The city would contribute matching funds — $27,000, $6,500, 10% match for the East Side plan, and committed local funds for Holly/101 — but grant awards would offset major project costs.
Crestview Drive Pilot Improvements — Los Vientos Intersection
Not stated at this meeting; the project remains in study phases.
Caltrain Funding Crisis
Potential regional transit funding measure; service cuts would affect San Carlos commuters and property values.
El Camino Real Multimodal Redesign
The full 25-mile corridor effort is estimated at roughly a billion dollars, to be pursued through federal and regional grants.
SamTrans Connect Bay Area Sales Tax
A half-cent sales tax regionwide could direct roughly $50 million a year to San Mateo County transit priorities if passed.
Bicycle safety on Industrial Road
Funding source for protected bike lanes was not identified.
ITS Signal Resiliency and Smart Corridor Expansion
$576,400 total, with only $52,400 coming from city funds thanks to the grant.
