Burlingame's El Camino Real Roadway Renewal Project Is A Cautionary Tale In White Environmentalism
🚨🚨🚨Today is the last day to send in a public comment to Caltrans demanding safe bicycle infrastructure and a dedicated bus lane be studied and included in the outcome of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shape El Camino Real in Burlingame. Use this template to send a public comment with a few clicks. If the August 2nd deadline has passed, send an email anyway, and also sign this petition.
You can also sign up to receive updates from Resilient El Camino Real. If this type of thing is something you care about. :)

If you need context on the ECR Roadway Renewal Project you can search the SMDJ with a few keywords and find plenty of nimby-leaning coverage on this topic spanning back literally at least five years. Or you could be cool and sensible and read this site, or this blog post.
