We, the residents of Floribunda Ave and Almer Ave, are concerned about the safety of our streets. There is a tendency for cars to speed on these streets and we are requesting the City of Burlingame to install a traffic calming device due to the following reasons:

* Traffic is extremely heavy on Floribunda Avenue and visibility of cars and/or pedestrians is low due to the curves of the street.  Despite the posted speed limit of 25 MPH, the majority of cars drive 35-50 MPH as they make their way to/from El Camino or Hillsborough.

* It is dangerous for:

1. Families and children who are crossing Floribunda Ave on the way to McKinley Elementary School.  Between El Camino and California Street there are no marked pedestrians crosswalks.

2. Many Hillsborough and West Burlingame residents, many           who are Seniors, who cross Floribunda Ave on foot on the           way to downtown Burlingame.

3. Residents on Floribunda and Almer Avenues who are exiting their garages and entering the street (Floribunda and Almer Avenues are curved and offer low visibility due to parked cars and trees).

We are proposing that the City of Burlingame install, or allow the residents to install, a traffic calming device to mitigate speeding and reduce the risk of accident, injury, or potential death.

Respectfully,

The Residents of Floribunda Ave and Almer Ave.
