Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Daly City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
John Daly/Skyline pedestrian connection completed
The city is moving forward with a new pedestrian path near Thornton State Beach after getting a bargain bid that came in 45% below expectations. Bay Area Lightworks will complete the work for $612,955.
Safe Routes to School project contract amendment
The city is redesigning pedestrian and bike safety improvements near three schools, but the proposed amendment would drop the lane reduction after residents worried about traffic congestion. The council tabled it until September for more community input.
City Hall Roof Replacement
City Hall's nearly 30-year-old roof is leaking — including over sensitive police electronics — so the council approved an $871,000 replacement contract with a 30-year warranty. Part of the cost comes from delaying the City Hall parking lot expansion to next fiscal year.
Safe routes to libraries
A resident asked the city to think about safe walking and biking routes to libraries, not just schools. Staff agreed to check with the City Manager's office or Public Works about the grant-funded Safe Routes to School program.
Westlake Slurry Seal Project
13.9 miles of Westlake streets get a fresh seal coat starting July, with Vision Zero crosswalk and striping upgrades included — the low bid came in nearly 10 percent under the engineer's estimate.
Bayshore Shuttle continued funding
Amendment No. 11 to the Bayshore Shuttle service agreement, with new funds appropriated, keeps the shuttle route running for riders between Daly City and the Bayshore area.
Lake Merced Boulevard Road Diet Study and Community Feedback
The plan to reconfigure Lake Merced Boulevard and add protected bike lanes is paused after public pushback. Committee members point to the corridor's place on the city's high-injury network and want the city to keep pursuing it.
Regional Transit Sales Tax (SB 63) Under Discussion
The Connect Bay Area measure has qualified for the November ballot, and the committee considered endorsing it to the City Council, citing SamTrans riders' dependence on public transit.
