WILL FIXING HUMBOLDT PARKING COST SAN MATEANS $10 MILLION?

We shared with you about the years’ long battle San Mateo’s Humboldt residents have had with the City to get 200 parking spaces returned after an installation of bike lanes the length of that street. Council just held a meeting and we'll share details with you at the 2/17 member meeting - but it boils down to up to $10 million being set aside to right things.

AS DISTRICT 5, WHAT ARE OUR 2026 PRIORITIES?

BHNA President Mike Ragan addressed our City Council representative, Mayor Adam Loraine, and the entire Council at their priority setting meeting January 31st. Ragan's top two recommendations for our district for priorities to put forward for 2026 were:

- For safety of our middle school/high school kids, to ensure the promised signal at Alameda and Hillsdale finally get installed (originally promised in 2025), and

- Begin to set aside funding which will become critical to off-set impacts of the Hillsdale Mall redevelopment as it gets underway.

​

Mayor Loraine put forward these priorities:

- Explore a policy of evaluation cost-effective energy efficiency production & storage (solar/battery) upgrades for major construction/renovation of municipal buildings/facilities.

- Research off-street parking, carshare and related programs...in impacted neighborhoods/business districts.

- Partner with Elders Action Network/Elders Climate Action (promoting 'policies and practices that protect our air and water, our democracy, our economy, our communities and our health') to host a "Future Design Event" for San Mateo.
