82 El Camino Real Roadway Renewal

The El Camino Real Roadway Renewal project (EA-OK810) will rehabilitate this historic and critical section of State Route 82 that stretches through the city of Burlingame and touches Hillsborough, San Mateo and Millbrae. This stretch of El Camino Real features the Howard-Ralston Tree Rows, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project also aims to reduce localized flooding, improve visibility, and upgrade pedestrian infrastructure to comply with ADA standards.

Public Outreach

Caltrans sincerely appreciates the public participation and feedback we’ve received at the public meetings hosted to date. From 2020 to 2023, Caltrans hosted a total of six public meetings. In 2023, we held a Tree Workshop as the culmination of outreach and design efforts. At "Burlingame On the Avenue" in August 2023, visitors to the Caltrans booth gave input on special features such as the planned time capsule, history plaque walk, and community benches. We also presented on the project right-of-way and encroachment issues at the Burlingame City Council meeting on July 5, 2023 and the San Mateo City Council Meeting on August 21, 2023. In July 2021, we hosted a virtual and an in-person meeting to share information about our Draft Environmental Document. In 2020, we held an Educational Public Open House and two Scoping meetings.

A project microsite, located at ECRAlternatives.com, houses an archive of the material presented at these meetings.
