• SamTrans is holding two public workshops in November to review a recent study determining the feasibility of bus rapid transit service along El Camino Real. Bus rapid transit would offer faster speeds, shorter travel times and improved amenities through various means such as skipping certain stops, dedicating bus-only lanes and implementing traffic signal priority for transit vehicles.
SamTrans has been studying the possibility of phasing bus rapid transit along a 26-mile stretch of El Camino Real between Palo Alto to Daly City. Based on the study’s findings, SamTrans has decided not to implement bus rapid transit in the near-term, but has identified other improvements that could be pursued over the next 5 years.
The community meetings are 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13 at 33 Arroyo Drive, South San Francisco and 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18 at the SamTrans headquarters, 1250 San Carlos Ave., San Carlos. For more information visit www.samtrans.com.

• This week, the Foster City Public Works Department will lower the water level in the Foster City Lagoon by approximately 6 to 8 inches from summer levels to winter levels.
The water level is lowered during the winter to accept additional water during seasonal storms while it’s raised in the summer to accommodate recreational uses of the lagoon. For more information contact the city’s Public Works Maintenance Superintendent Nicholas Leonoudakis at nleonoudakis@fostercity.org.
