Following a land transfer agreement with BART, Millbrae officials said development proposals targeting city property near the train station are on track to start moving ahead.

The Millbrae City Council unanimously approved a proposal last week conveying the “kiss and ride” lot near the train station from BART back to city ownership, completing terms of an earlier agreement designed to facilitate construction at the transit hub.

Also, we’re fortunate to have Calvano interested in getting approvals even at the bottom of this recession. I hope we capitalize on it!

This is really great! I’m glad Millbrae is finally moving forward with putting this taxpayer owned land to use. It has been underdeveloped for too long. The revenue from development here will be a huge boost for our schools, infrastructure and other city services. Also, in terms of transportation, traffic and climate change, these lots next to the station make the most sense for big building. I’m looking forward to proposals coming in soon!

I really appreciate the well-written article. We hear from the most important and "essential" parties in the Developments -- City Council and Developers. The City Council has two very important "Sub-Committees" focused on both east-side and west-side Developments: the Development Committee Vice Mayor Anne Oliva and Councilwoman Gina Papan; the Technical Committee Councilman Reuben Holober and Councilman Anders Fung. They are responsible to report-out to the Mayor and community (We the People) about progress, or lack thereof, at least during "Council Comments." The Councilmembers are the "channels" from which We the People are kept appraised of information on the most important revenue-generation long-term and sustainable -- Developments. I, for one, am very grateful to "The Daily Journal" and Reporter Austin Walsh for the good journalism article providing the "essentials" to We the People. We hope to hear more especially because the Councilmembers have directed the City Manger with their #1 Goal be focused on "Developments."
