City Council Special Meeting - May 4, 2026 5:00PM

The City of Foster City held a special City Council meeting on May 4, 2026, focused primarily on updates and discussions regarding the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Consultants from Farron Pierce presented the status of the plan, including the prioritization methodology for bicycle projects based on safety, connectivity, and feasibility. Five priority bicycle infrastructure projects were recommended for further development, including improvements on Beach Park Boulevard, Edgewater Boulevard, Gull Avenue, and Marlin Avenue. Council members discussed concerns about potential lane reductions, parking impacts, emergency evacuation implications, and coordination with neighboring San Mateo for connectivity. The council expressed interest in adding Foster City Boulevard as a sixth project for study due to its importance as a main corridor. The presentation also covered conceptual designs, cost considerations, and next steps involving public outreach and detailed project development. No formal votes were recorded, but council members provided feedback and requested further study and cost estimates for additional projects and potential scope adjustments.
