Caltrain to Hold Open House on Burlingame Broadway Grade Separation
Caltrain is hosting an open house on the Burlingame Broadway Grade Separation Project that will improve safety and traffic flow, and reduce horn noise. The open house will include a brief presentation with an update on designs and schedule for the new vehicle, pedestrian and bike underpass and station.
Burlingame Broadway Grade Separation Project Open House
November 19, 2019
6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Burlingame Library (Lane Room)
480 Primrose, Burlingame, CA
High traffic volumes at Burlingame’s Broadway grade crossing result in some of the worst traffic congestion in the region. A preferred design alternative was approved by the Burlingame City Council in 2017 for the project, which will separate the tracks from the street by partially raising the tracks and partially lowering the road.
This will improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, reduce train gate down-time and horn noise, restore weekday service at Broadway Station and improve traffic flow. The project will also construct a new elevated Broadway Station with updated amenities that better serve the community.
