Draft US 101 Mid County Multimodal Strategy: Public Review

Comment on the draft strategy by October 17, 2025

Draft US 101 Mid County Multimodal Corridor Strategy

The TA is accepting comments until October 17, 2025.

The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA) has prepared the draft US 101 Mid County Multimodal Strategy which identifies projects that best meet the needs for all types of transportation options. The draft US 101 Mid County Multimodal Strategy includes the cities of Burlingame, San Mateo, Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos, and Redwood Shores. The project includes a one-mile study area along both sides of the corridoor to identify projects that can be considered for inclusion in the funding strategy.

Below, you can view the draft US 101 Mid County Multimodal Strategy and provide input. This strategy aims to improve the way people and goods move through the Mid County portion of the corridor. It includes an introduction to the 101 Corridor Connect program, analysis of existing conditions, summary of the stakeholder and community outreach that was conducted, project identification and scoring methodology, and the final list of priority projects for Mid County.

Suggestion
Why is SamTrans making it more difficult for disabled people to get a monthly bus pass? There's no information about this on the SamTrans website. Also, it would be so helpful to have a reduced monthly bus pass fee for low income individuals. $67/month is a lot for someone living solely on Social Security.

Tanya Oct 16 2025 at 1:09PM on page 15

Question
When is the Broadway/ECR/101 intersection with CalTrain going to get done? There are so many crashes and fatalities in this location, but the project never moves forward. It seems like the #1 safety issue in this deck.

Ken Chin Oct 15 2025 at 8:38AM on page 65

Suggestion
The "Existing Conditions" image in the project sheet depicts Laurel Street in San Carlos, not Poplar Avenue. Please update the image to reflect the correct location.

Ken Chin Oct 15 2025 at 8:38AM on page 63

Suggestion
The existing lane widths on Tilton Avenue appear to be approximately 10 feet, which may not provide sufficient space for Class II bike lanes. Additionally, the estimated cost of $30,000 seems unusually low and may warrant further review.

Ken Chin Oct 15 2025 at 8:36AM on page 59

Suggestion
The proposal for a Class IV bike lane from Catalpa to 5th Avenue through Downtown San Mateo may not be feasible due to right-of-way constraints in the area.

Jeff Lacap Oct 14 2025 at 9:38AM on page 46

Question
Please confirm if the US-101/SR-92 Direct Connector Project was evaluated as part of the prioritization process.

Michael Innes Oct 10 2025 at 5:01PM on page 56

Suggestion
Note that the city of San Mateo has already done studies for this project, including completing CEQA.

Zack Rozlen Oct 10 2025 at 11:13AM on page 59

Suggestion
The protected bike lane between oak grove and Broadway has been a huge help for improving safety without slowing down car traffic. Anywhere next to the Caltrain tracks should have the same separation.
Given el Camino is unsafe, this corridor safe haven connecting downtown Burlingame and San Mateo and Millbrae is necessary and we should continue to improve.

Melina Oct 8 2025 at 8:39PM on page 17

Question
Does the ridership analysis post pandemic consider the route reductions that went into effect? That impacts ridership if times and routes are not as available as they were.

Melina Oct 8 2025 at 8:36PM on page 13

Question
Did adding the FastTrack lane fix anything? Because if not then the data shows that is not the solution for LOS

Maggie Bobbin Oct 3 2025 at 9:16AM on page 63

Question
How will you prevent parking in bike lane and on sidewalk- this image shows cars parked on sidewalk
in reply to Mike Swire's comment

Arley Lewis Oct 2 2025 at 10:58PM on page 43

Suggestion
Agreed. The current overpass is very dangerous for walkers and bikers. Another bicyclist was injured on the Holly overcrossing by a merging driver on 2/7/2025. We need safety fixes here ASAP.

Arley Lewis Oct 2 2025 at 10:28PM on page 57

Suggestion
Crossing 101 as a walker or biker is very dangerous because the on/off ramps are designed to allow cars to travel at 35-40 mph while merging. The high speeds don't give drivers time to see us walking and biking across the overpass. Slow down the merge, and build the pedestrian/bike bridge.

Maggie Bobbin Oct 2 2025 at 4:26PM on page 65

Suggestion
Speeding control needed. Raised crosswalks would help. Additionally, cars are always parked in the bike lane or on sidewalks- can bike lanes be protected?

Maggie Bobbin Oct 2 2025 at 4:25PM on page 63

Suggestion
needs resurfacing

Maggie Bobbin Oct 2 2025 at 4:24PM on page 59

Suggestion
Please complete this rout and make exisiting bike lanes safer. The bike lane from broadway to the caltrain station is narrow, and at times switches from bike lane to sharrows. Car speeding is also an issue with this stretch. Additionally, there is a great class IV bike lane, but it doesn't connect to either downtown.

Maggie Bobbin Oct 2 2025 at 4:22PM on page 57

Suggestion
Greatly needed! This crossing is very difficult as a pedestrian or bicycle and provides connectivity to bay trail

Maggie Bobbin Oct 2 2025 at 4:21PM on page 55

Suggestion
Separated bike lane needed and resurfacing needed. This is one of the only routes that is continuous to South SF.

Maggie Bobbin Oct 2 2025 at 4:18PM on page 52

Suggestion
101 crossing needed to improve connectivity

JS Oct 2 2025 at 11:29AM on page 65

Suggestion
This looks like a picture of Laurel St in San Carlos, not Poplar Ave in San Mateo

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 9:34PM on page 65

Suggestion
Helpful connectivity to 3 schools

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 9:32PM on page 59

Suggestion
This un-interrupted safe bicycling corridor would be invaluable for connecting San Mateo city with Millbrae BART (and future CAHSR).

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 9:30PM on page 50

Suggestion
A road diet/narrowing of El Camino Real would vastly improve walkability in crossing east/west.

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 9:29PM on page 49

Suggestion
There is a lot of excessive & low value car storage utilization on this corridor. Please remove in favor of safe active transportation infrastructure, including tree planting

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 9:22PM on page 26

Suggestion
Seeing this in per capita terms would be helpful

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 9:14PM on page 17

Question
This is inconsistent with SamTrans' reported current monthly ridership exceeding 2019 (pre-COVID) monthly ridership

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 9:04PM on page 8

Question
This statement seems to place "congestion reduction" ahead of all goals listed on the previous slide.
What is the point of the previous slide if the sole criteria focuses on "potential to reduce congestion on 101"?

Max Mautner Oct 1 2025 at 8:52PM on page 7

Suggestion
Improves public health outcomes
Minimizes traffic violence

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:36PM on page 101

Suggestion
Thank you!

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:35PM on page 68

Question
Does this need to be updated to reflect the recent occupant of the White House, who has declared war on active transportation?

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:34PM on page 65

Question
This won't remove the new Class II bike lanes on Poplar, will it?

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:33PM on page 64

Question
Is this area dense enough for bike share to succeed?

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:32PM on page 59

Suggestion
Yes! If no bike lanes on ECR in Burlingame, this can be the route to Millbrae BART/Caltrain.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:31PM on page 56

Question
Yes! What is difference vs. #1? We shouldn't be doing car-focused improvements without this happening at the same time.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:30PM on page 55

Suggestion
Yes! Important route for N/S bike commuters.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:29PM on page 54

Suggestion
IMportant downtown connection for the Humboldt bike lanes.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:28PM on page 52

Question
Why not across 101? A cyclist was just killed on Holly crossing 101.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:28PM on page 51

Question
What about people on bikes? How do they get from SM to points north?

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:27PM on page 50

Question
Yes, but I have heard that SM is fighting bike lanes on ECR??!!!

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:27PM on page 49

Suggestion
Yes! This is super important given the connection to the recently approved Delaware Safe Routes to School protected bike lanes in SM.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:26PM on page 48

Suggestion
The City of SM is refusing to do bike lanes on ECR. They should be pushed on this if Belmont will have bike lanes to the SM border.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:25PM on page 47

Suggestion
We need a bike/ped bridge, not painted bike lanes, to make crossing 101 safe. This is what the residents of SM were promised 20 years ago and then the project faded away with the 101 widening project taking priority.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:24PM on page 47

Suggestion
YES! I agree this is the most important project in the corridor.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:23PM on page 46

Question
Are ECR projects really part of the "101 Corridor"?

Not an important issue, but projects nearer to 101 have a larger equity impact.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:22PM on page 46

Question
Does this include crossing of the 101? I don't understand the description?

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:20PM on page 43

Suggestion
There is NO public bus service across the SM bridge. Only corporate buses.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:19PM on page 43

Suggestion
Inconsistent bike facilities across municipal borders. Bike lanes disappear when going from SM (Pacific Ave) to Belmont/Old County.

Old County is a storage lot for collision repair shops.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:18PM on page 43

Suggestion
SC was promised a bike/ped bridge at Holly Street. This didn't happen and now a young woman recently died while biking on Holly across 101.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:17PM on page 43

Suggestion
The City of SM has long promised residents a bike/ped bridge at Hillsdale. A Caltrans driver killed a cyclist there and there are no safe crossing nearby. This should be called out given we have been waiting 20+ years for a project that was close to happening.

Mike Swire Oct 1 2025 at 7:15PM on page 42

Question
How is induced demand considered in evaluating a project's potential for "reducing congestion"? If someone starts commuting by train instead of driving on 101, won't that encourage another resident to start driving and take up that newly open capacity on 101?
