Have you seen us around Olive Ave? Let us know!

Burbank has a once in a generation opportunity to improve both living and getting around. While others may fight against progress and deny new housing, we believe in a more sustainable and equitable future.

The NoHo to Pasadena BRT will connect residents to this downtown Burbank Metrolink station via a dedicated bus lane! As long as we remind the City we need it.

Send City Council a letter of support before May 20 at strongtownsburbank.com/cta

This is (probably) it. Let’s save the BRT! 🚌

The time has come for Burbank City Council to receive a presentation and discuss the NoHo to Pasadena BRT and SB79. From the posted agenda, it is clear the City is attempting to get the project canceled or further delayed until after the Olympics.

If you can make it, please join us in-person to give public comment. We recommend arriving at 2pm to ensure you’re heard:

🗓️ BURBANK SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
May 20 at 3:00pm
Burbank City Hall
275 E. Olive Avenue, Second Floor

You can also dial-in to give public comment.

If neither of those work, please find instructions on how to send in an email at strongtownsburbank.com/cta

Burbank has a historic opportunity to deliver on its housing goals by building housing as a part of the new central library rebuild project. Instead of building any of the potential 88 units, the library planning team has instead chosen to build a 4 story parking structure.

For one of the most well connected and parking-dense parts of the city, this is a huge mistake. Housing fosters community and economic growth, and we will never reach our goals if we only continue to build in between the freeway and the sewage plant.

Weigh in with your thoughts starting with the template at the link in our bio ASAP.
