Driving thru the street
It was once a straight old line
What’s the point of that
It was working all too fine ...
“Tell you what we’ll do
A circle we will sell”
With plants, and signs and lights and stuff
The results are LOL.
Oh flashing beams, flashing red,
What does all this mean
Why not simple traffic lights
With red yellow & gre-en
Lots of signs, a ton of paint,
Just four million bucks
The town’s confused, no one’s amused
Council couldn’t give two

Roundabout Comes into Focus
I'm still waiting to talk to someone who isn't associated with the project that thinks the California Roundabout was a good use of $3 million - even if it was "grant money". You can review the history of the project here, here and here. I usually tell the naysayers that a good part of the mone...
In honor of yet another set of flashing lights on our Jingle Bells of a roundabout - red this time - and in the season:
Flashing lights, twinkling lights
Burlingame laid an egg
Drivers speed, they don’t heed,
Pedestrians have to be-eg
Radar signs, diverging lines,
Everyone has their doubt
But that’s ok, city hall rules
They love their roundabout

I agree with holly.
When it comes to transportation on City streets, Pedestrians are a Hazard to themselves and others.
Go to a playground (or a treadmill) for God’s sake.
Or get out of the way.
People driving got places to go. We don’t have 10 seconds to spare.

Bad Dieting Ideas
I can't link to the Wall Street Journal site behind the paywall, so I will just give you some highlights of a piece from today on the perils of "road diets". They are becoming popular in the Bay Area including Menlo Park that just made one example permanent on Middlefield Rd. and, of course, ou...
Holy cow. Went by last night. From now on I will wear my sunglasses at night.

The roundabout will also spell the end of Stacks outdoor seating. Maybe Stacks altogether.
The roundabout will bring 10,000 vehicles a day of California Drive traffic right to its front door and next to its curb. Before it was buffered by being tucked away from the traffic. But now, it's part of the roundabout. So although the usable sidewalk there is now 1' wider, and it will have a wall (ok, steel slats) and some grass, who wants to eat with 1,000 vehicles an hour whizzing by so close to your omelet.
Traffic calming my crepe.
