Open Weekday Service at Broadway, Burlingame Train Station

Dear residents of Burlingame and the surrounding areas, Convenient public transportation is not just a luxury, it is a necessity for many, and the closure of weekday service at the Broadway Train Station has significantly impacted our community. This station, strategically located within walking distance for thousands of residents, has been a crucial part of our daily routines. Its reopening would vastly improve commuting options for residents and employees in the Broadway district, Bayshore, and Rollins Road areas.Broadway Train Station used to serve as a vital transportation hub, enabling easier access to employment, educational opportunities, and essential services. Its closure has forced many community members to seek alternative, less convenient modes of transport, leading to increased traffic congestion, longer commute times, and heightened carbon emissions. These challenges contravene Burlingame’s sustainability goals and negatively impact the quality of life for its residents.Reinstating weekday services would not only enhance convenience but would contribute positively to the local economy. The increase in accessibility could lead to higher patronage for local businesses, encourage tourism, and support job growth. Furthermore, studies have shown that communities with robust public transportation systems report lower levels of air pollution and improved community health.We urge the City of Burlingame and Caltrain's Joint Powers Board to consider these factors and take immediate action to reinstate weekday train services at the Broadway Train Station. Let us work together to ensure a sustainable, accessible, and prosperous future for our community.By signing this petition, you are championing a cause that will benefit thousands of residents and employees, promoting a sustainable environment and enhancing the quality of life in Burlingame, CA. Your support is crucial in making this change possible.
