How Have Burlingame Streetscape Improvements Affected You?

PG&E started work on Burlingame Avenue last week.

The Burlingame Avenue makeover has begun.

Pacific Gas & Electric began their portion of the Burlingame Avenue Streetscape Project last week, according to the City of Burlingame.

PG&E’s work is planned for night, but reduced parking, traffic detours and gas service interruptions outside of regular business hours may affect locals during their portion of construction.

Has construction affected you yet? Tell us how in the comment section below.

According to the City of Burlingame, here’s a look at PG&E’s streetscape work:

  • Relocation of two existing transformer vaults that are currently in the parking stalls located in the 1400 Block of Burlingame Avenue.
  • Relocation of conduits for new gravity sewer lines on Burlingame Avenue at the intersection of Primrose Road, and Lorton Avenue.
  • Installation and connection for future decorative street lights and pedestals.
  • PG&E Natural Gas Work: In order to accommodate the City of Burlingame’s new sewer main, water main, storm drain and lowering of box culvert, PG&E will:
  • Deactivate the existing gas main and install about 2,000 feet of new 4” plastic high pressure gas main on California Drive (between Lorton Avenue and Burlingame Avenue) and on Burlingame Avenue (between California Drive and El Camino Real).
  • A number of gas services will be upgraded and transferred to the new gas main.

PG&E’s work runs along Burlingame Avenue from California Drive to El Camino Real, according to city documents. 

Currently, PG&E is working on the first phase, which will run through March on Burlingame Avenue from Park Road to El Camino Real and consist of gas work. The second phase will run February through March in the 1400 block of Burlingame with the relocation of transformer vaults and lowering electrical ducts, according to city documents. Phase three will run March through April, also for gas work.

They want your credit card information to process an order that's free. Sorry, that's not going toRead More happen. Call me paranoid, but is that just an oversight or is it their way of tracking their customer's buying habits? I like my privacy, how about you?

Oh yeah! Like I need advise from the Hollywood dung elite like Bill Maher and Danny D'Midget toRead More offer me diet suggestions. If you don't like the product, don't buy it.

Yes, we are well aware of this & can not believe the Burlingame district is proceeding with theRead More plans for this school. The footprint of the school does not allow for safe drop off and pick up. I have seen a couple of different plans for the drop off line & none of them are adequate for the location. The traffic will surely be a nightmare & I hope we are not moved to this school, as there is not proper access for drop off. Also, not sure why the plans keep changing, maybe because they can not come up with a good plan.

Who will respond to emergencies at Hoover School? I measured the width of the two small bridgesRead More near the bottom of Canyon Road today. One is 17’ 10” and the other is 18’. Emergency response vehicles are 10’ wide, landscape pickup trucks are 8 feet wide and SUVs are 7’ feet wide. Consider what will happen every school day when children are dropped off at school. Traffic will stop on these two bridges and no emergency vehicles will be able to pass. This will happen every school day, twice a day even when there isn’t an emergency. Consider what will happen during any real emergency. The school is located near the San Andreas Fault. Two 30” high pressure gas mains are even closer. The fire department plans to close the fire house on Hillside near the Hoover School. Who will respond to emergencies at Hoover School? How will responders get to the school?

Has anyone read the safety/disaster plan for Hoover School? The fire department admitted that theyRead More did not take Hoover School into account in the EXPENSIVE consolidation study they commissioned. On April 9th, 2013 I attended a Burlingame City meeting on fire department consolidation . The fire department has paid for a study that recommends closing the fire house on Hillside. They plan to build a new station near Trousdale on Skyline in close proximity to two 30” high pressure gas mains (http://www.pge.com/myhome/edusafety/systemworks/gas/transmissionpipelines/) and within half a mile of the San Andreas Fault.
