The Borel Neighborhood Association works to foster a sense of community and enhance the quality of life for all individuals within our neighborhood. We hold quarterly meetings and socials throughout the year. We focus on San Mateo citywide issues that impact Borel Neighborhood such as the Community Flood and Storm Protection Ballot Measure, proposed historic district, and building electrification.
Our priorities include:
Neighborhood Safety, including helping reduce crime by participating in the Neighborhood Watch Program and all that includes (e.g., signage, promoting home camera registration with the San Mateo Police Department).
Safe Streets, through advocating for street design and use that is safe for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other micro-mobility, and also speed adherence and enforcement.
Building development that benefits the community, including reducing environmental impact. We support transformation of aging commercial and office space into inclusive neighborhood assets.
Ride Your Bike to Middle School This Summer! 🚲
Calling all rising 6th–8th grade students and their families.
Are you interested in helping your student gain confidence biking to school safely? This summer, San Mateo–Foster City School District is offering guided practice rides from your home to your middle school. Your family will be matched with a trained ride leader who will:
Plan the safest and most convenient route from your home to school
Share the route details with your family
Schedule a practice ride to help your student learn and navigate the route with confidence
This is a great opportunity for students to build independence, practice safe biking skills, and get ready for the new school year. Sign up by June 10th to participate.
We look forward to helping more students discover the fun, healthy, and environmentally friendly way to get to school—by bike!
