Neighborhood Network

The Neighborhood Network program encourages citizens to work cooperatively in neighborhood teams to prepare for disasters. In the process of getting better acquainted, neighbors are inspired to plan other events such as block parties and holiday get-togethers. Their sense of community fosters a “Neighborhood Watch” awareness that helps prevent crime.

Train Noise

We need your help. Local residents continue to find the noise from horns on nighttime trains to be extremely disruptive. Union Pacific representatives have agreed to review the duration and decibel level of nighttime trains on the Caltrain corridor on a random basis, effective immediately. Mayor Keighran & I have agreed to capture information from residents about the trains that are causing concerns, so that Union Pacific can follow up.  When you hear a loud and blasting train horn noise during the nighttime, please send an email IMMEDIATELY to: TrainNoise@burlingame.org.

Out of Cars

With vehicles causing more than 50 percent of carbon emissions in most of our cities, it’s time to get serious about getting people out of their cars.

At the San Mateo County Council of Cities meeting for council members, two experts on transportation recently offered Top 10 lists for how to encourage people to use alternatives to cars. Here’s what they had to say.

Christine Maley-Grubl, executive director of the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance

No. 10 – Encourage employers to offer telecommuting as an option for employees to leave their cars at home. The Alliance can provide information on establishing a telecommute program.

No. 9 – Encourage employers to urge employees to vanpool if they are commuting long distances. Vanpool providers such as VPSI or Enterprise can provide the vans. The Alliance can help coordinate vanpools and also offers cash incentives to vanpool drivers and to riders.
