Burlingame is moving ahead on its Vision Zero Safety Action Plan, targeting "Safety Corridors," the streets with the highest concentrations of fatal and serious-injury crashes, after the City Council adopted the plan Aug. 17.

The Burlingame Safety Action Plan, developed with a $480,000 federal Department of Transportation grant, commits the city to eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries on local streets by 2040, according to the city's Vision Zero Action Plan page. The council approved the plan as a standalone resolution, listed as Item 11b, at its regular Aug. 17 meeting at City Hall, according to the meeting agenda.

The plan followed more than a year of public engagement: nearly 1,500 visits to the project's webpage, about 650 contributions to an interactive webmap, more than 100 community members engaged in person, and input from a 14-member Community Advisory Committee, according to the plan's public engagement site. Residents flagged safer crossings, fewer vehicles on the road, school-zone safety and slower speeds as top priorities.

Before reaching the council, the draft plan went through Burlingame's Traffic Safety and Parking Commission, which held a special meeting July 2 dedicated to reviewing the document. The panel is chaired by Commissioner John Martos.

Council members on the dais Aug. 17 included Mayor Michael Brownrigg, Vice Mayor Andrea Pappajohn, and council members Donna Colson, Desiree Thayer and Peter Stevenson. The individual vote count has not been published in available records.

The plan's adoption comes as San Mateo County supervisors separately advance an electric micromobility ordinance following a fatal e-bike crash involving a child in Burlingame, Patch reported. The two efforts are not formally linked in available documents.

The council's next regular meeting is Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
