Tell Us Your Thoughts

Thank you to everyone who participated and shared feedback during the July community workshop and online survey, and November outreach meetings. At the November meetings, the project team shared how community input to date has been incorporated into updated designs, presented the project’s traffic analysis, and reviewed refined concept design options.

The City of San Mateo is hosting final community meetings for the 19th Avenue and Fashion Island Boulevard Multimodal Improvements Project on: 

  • Tuesday, April 21 (in-person at College Park Elementary School, 1001 Bermuda Drive) 
  • Thursday, April 23 (virtual via Zoom at bit.ly/19thFIB_3)

Building on feedback received during earlier planning phases, the project has advanced to detailed engineering plans. These meetings will present the finalized designs, shaped directly by community input, and highlight how your feedback influenced key decisions. Whether or not you are able to attend, we welcome your thoughts, questions, and ideas. Please share them by emailing publicworks@cityofsanmateo.org.

Background

In 2023, the planning phase of the project began by identifying the corridor’s needs and mobility gaps based on an existing conditions analysis and the first phase of community engagement. Design alternatives were then developed to address the issues identified by the community.


During the second phase of community engagement in 2024, the design alternatives were reviewed through community engagement that included multiple pop-up meetings, an online survey, and design workshops. Feedback from these outreach efforts was incorporated into the US-101 / SR 92 Mobility Hub and Smart Corridor Concept Plan  — the project’s previous name. The “Smart Corridor” referred to a protected bike lane, which has been incorporated into the current project design. The “Mobility Hub” proposed a multimodal hub at the existing Caltrans park-and-ride lot at 19th Avenue and Fashion Island Boulevard; however, the Mobility Hub is not part of the current project. Future planning for that component would be led by SamTrans.
