I can’t cross this intersection and get to the bike ped bridge on my bike from Cadillac bc the light does not detect my bike. I can only get the light to turn green if there are cars behind me.

@Velasco- Thank you for the information you have provided. This issue was acknowledged on a separate SeeClickFix ticket. You are correct that this was a Caltrans issue that is now left for the City of Burlingame to remedy.
@Madeline- It was discovered that the keep clear pavement marking is partially blocking the detector. Cadillac Way is one of four streets being resurfaced as apart of a federal grant resurfacing project. An adjustment has already been included to remedy the issue however the project is currently delayed in order to address additional comments from the BPAC and obtain funding.
In the meantime, the crosswalk can be used to cross the street and access the pedestrian and bike bridge.

$100 solution.
Or City pays $5M settlement when someone gets hit.
Easy call for the city attorney.

@TE-MT this issue is not new. The city has been aware since September 2017.
The point I made about car detection was obviously missed. If the car detection was found to be not working the same way it’s now confirmed to be for bikes, we wouldn’t be having this detection in 2019. It would already have been fixed. We wouldn’t be talking about brand and make of cars or bikes. It’s been 2+ years. Telling the public not to worry because the signal will continue to be deficient & malfunctioning another year (2020) until a paving project is ________. Pls consult with the City Attorney on risks the city is taking on by doing this. Fixes have been offered.

This has been 2+ years a hazard that the city has known about.
Let’s see if the markings help. But here’s the thing the city knows the detection is faulty. A couple of bike riders here know. But how about the first time a bike rider goes here? She waits at the line waiting to get detected - exposing herself to getting rear ended or broadsided by someone trying to get in/out of the gas station. For a light that will never turn green for her. That’s the hazard we’re talking about.

And here is the response from the TE on 9/13/18:
“Caltrans was unable to confirm that detection was not working”
“Keep in mind that your bicycle may not be detected if you are not positioned correctly within the lane.”
The item was then closed.

A bike stopped on 3 out of the 4 photos would be illegal because they’re past the legal limit line and are on top of the KEEP CLEAR areas.
The only photo were the position may be legal is where a bike is stopped one car space behind the limit line. That is not intuitive and will upset and annoy drivers who would not understand why a bike rider would do that.
So none of these four positions are safe. City’s been given two plus years and options to fix this hazard. And it persists.
Madeline (Isticmaale Diiwaangashan)
Waited for three minutes there the other day, with about 10 cars behind me. I eventually gave up and pulled up in the ILLEGAL bike marking which is about a foot long and runs into the crosswalk.
Also the other day, while I was waiting at the first marking, multiple car passed me on the right within three feet, and then someone pulled up next to me within inches because they were parallel parking.
Because the marking is so far left in the lane, people in their cars assume I am turning left and so they try coming up on my right so when the light does turn green I am in a position to be hit because I am trying to go up and to the right to make the bike ped bridge connection.
Shame on you PW Eng. Shame.

For the record, the city put its bike detector inexplicably all the way back from the signal, and on the left half of the lane. Drivers are confused and get angry because they’re stuck behind.
Oh and the bike detector doesn’t even work. This signal is broken.
