Albert Alfred Duro, 1946-2026
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of the unique and extremely dedicated Albert Duro last Friday, June 12, 2026.
He gave 42 years to the City as our IT Administrator, who first got into computers while working as a page at the Brisbane Library under longtime friend, Dolores Gomez. He will be missed in the community, having helped so many people, older adults especially, throughout the years with technology.
Funeral services for Albert have been planned for next Tuesday, the 23rd at Church of the Visitacion (655 Sunnydale Ave., San Francisco). The Viewing and Rosary start at 9 AM and the Mass starts at 10 AM. Albert will be buried at the Italian Cemetery in Colma (row 7, lot 12) immediately following Mass.
A Celebration of Life in Brisbane for Albert will be planned at a future date. Stay tuned for more information.

New Benches on Quarry!
It’s officially the end of the 2025-26 school year; Congrats to the Class of 2026! Time to take a break from the books and get outside. When you do, take note of the two new benches on Quarry Rd. Trail that were recently installed by Parks and Rec + Public Works in the locations scouted by Parks and Rec Commissioner Trudi Davis. A certain pitbull took respite on one during her evaluation and seemed to deem it acceptable. Who doesn’t want to take a seat in the shade?

Update on Traffic Signal Delays at Bayshore/Tunnel/Old County
The City of Brisbane is aware of ongoing traffic signal issues at the intersection of Bayshore Boulevard, Tunnel Avenue, and Old County Road.
Because the issue occurred sporadically, it was initially difficult to observe and diagnose in real time. Information provided by residents helped staff better understand the timing and conditions under which the issue was occurring, and City staff have since been able to witness the problem firsthand.
The issue appears to be associated with recent signal system upgrades and integration efforts as part of a regional smart corridor initiative, although the exact cause is still under investigation. City staff and our traffic signal consultants are actively working with project partners to identify the root cause and implement a permanent solution.
In the meantime, temporary signal timing adjustments have been made to improve operations and reduce the likelihood of extended delays while troubleshooting continues. Staff will continue to monitor the intersection and make additional adjustments as needed.
We understand the frustration this issue has caused and appreciate the community's patience and assistance as we work toward a long-term fix. The City will continue to provide updates as additional information becomes available.
