There is an article in the Daily Journal about the Caltrain negotiations:
(1) They will install 25-cents-an-hour parking meters in 16 spaces on West Lane
(2) Harvey will lease parking lots on East Lane for three years
(3) Harvey would lease a lot on West Lane from the City for three years
(4) South Lane will be closed to cars
And very interestingly: "The city plan also postpones building a $950,000 plaza on the lot near the Burlingame train depot because the city cannot afford it"
Where did that number come from? The plaza could become the jewel plaza of the peninsula with the expertise and creative thinking of some of our local well respected architects.
Maybe one of our more dedicated council members could see if there is any grant funding around for such a project.
We are eagerly waiting for the parking study where we will find out whether people's parking habits have changed and where the parking money will be allocated. Wasn't it going to be approximately $500,000?
Maybe at the budget study session on January 29 at 9:00 in the Lane Room all will be disclosed .
