Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

If you commute on 101 you already know what the SF Examiner is reporting

It takes a whopping 40 minutes to drive south on U.S. Highway 101 through San Mateo County during the evening weekday rush hour, up from 29 minutes in 2009, according to a report commissioned by the San Mateo City/County Association of Governments. The morning commute also went up six minutes to a 34-minute average.

But this is somewhat news and won't make you feel any better

Peninsula cities and the county pay $1.8 million annually to help reduce congestion on roadways. However, much of that money can’t be used for projects on 101 because it does not quite violate congestion standards set in 1991.

But don't worry, we will surpass the hurdle soon………………
