Burlingame council member to represent central county on transit board

Burlingame City Council member Rosalie O’Mahony was voted on to board of the San Mateo County Transportation Authority on Friday, reports the County Times.

O’Mahony replaced former Burlingame Mayor Joe Galligan. Half Moon Bay Vice Mayor Naomi Patridge and Foster City Mayor Linda Koelling also ran for the Central County seat. The Transportation Authority oversees the proceeds of Measure A, a 20-year, countywide, half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements.

Patridge had served on the board in the past. O’Mahony’s priorities include the Broadway interchange in Burlingame, the Broadway train station, and a grade separation in Burlingame.
