Millbrae and Burlingame Shoreline Area Protection and Enhancement Project

Millbrae and Burlingame Shoreline Area Protection and Enhancement Project

The proposed Project would include a combination of offshore and shoreline features to achieve its objectives. The Project proposes to create a tidal lagoon capable of controlling the offshore water level through the construction of an offshore barrier composed of both hardened and natural materials that include habitat features and could include a pedestrian trail. This barrier with habitat features, which has been described as a “living shoreline” in other contexts, would extend approximately 2.65 miles from southernmost coastal SFO location just north of Highline Canal to the southeast corner of the shoreline of Burlingame. To expand its benefits, this barrier could be extended an additional 0.6 miles further south to high ground at the northwest edge of Coyote Point within the City of San Mateo.
