Burlingame has given away over 1,000 free water efficient sprinkler nozzles to residents. The free sprinkler nozzle program helps residents save water in landscaping by replacing old sprinkler heads with new efficient ones - for free! Irrigation can account for more than half of the total water use in an average home. Use less water on your lawn by signing up to receive up to 25 free water efficient sprinklers at https://www.freesprinklernozzles.com/

The City of Burlingame, in collaboration with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), has formed a task force to explore and develop mutually agreeable recommendations and/or potential solutions to address various traffic, pedestrian, infrastructure, safety and natural resources issues along the El Camino Real Corridor in the City of Burlingame.  The task force consists of a community group and a technical working group to closely work with Caltrans to discuss the outstanding issues and identify potential solutions to address the problems.  For more information, visit www.burlingame.org/ecrtaskforce. 

• Clear drains, rain gutters and downspouts of debris.
• Trim trees and landscaping as needed to ensure that branches and limbs are clear of your structure and clear from overhead power lines. (Contact PG&E if trees have grown over or around power lines on your property.)

If you are looking for a new date night idea or an evening out with friends, the Throwback Thursdays series is your chance to enjoy a fun night out in Burlingame. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase on behalf of the Parks and Recreation Foundation. Burlingame's Youth Advisory Committee will also be selling candy and popcorn to benefit the Youth Scholarship Fund.

Burlingame's Youth Advisory Committee is partnering with Color Run 5k, Inc. to offer a Day of the Dead Run. This is not a Color Run event, but a festive, fun-run for everyone! Costumes are encouraged - there will be prizes for the best. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Youth Scholarship Program which provides funding for 4th-8th grade after school sports, in-house recreation camps, senior activities, Village Park Preschool and after school enrichment classes.
