The Week That Was and That Will Be - August 19

myBurbank Talks

Curious about how Burbank is shaping up its transportation and sustainability efforts? We've got you covered! Join us as we discuss the Burbank City Council's latest initiatives, including a new free fare program for students and some rather ironic debates about making council meetings shorter. Plus, we’ll share insights from the Chandler bike path’s 20th-anniversary celebration and reflect on the event with Lynn Lipinski's story and pictures.
On a more serious note, we’ll address a recent bomb threat at Providence High School and discuss the significant impact of such alarming incidents. We also highlight adaptive sports initiatives, such as wheelchair fencing at McCambridge Park, as part of broader efforts to promote inclusivity ahead of upcoming Paralympic events coming to Los Angeles in 2028.
What’s next for Burbank in terms of sustainability and transportation? We’re diving into the details of the upcoming Sustainable Burbank Commission meeting and its many ad hoc committees. Enforcement challenges of new sustainability laws and the practicality of plastic container ordinances are hot topics, as is our upcoming "Ask the Mayor" podcast focused on transportation issues. Lastly, we cover the safety concerns around driverless cars, explore the city's response to evolving technology, and prepare for a fun-filled Kitten Day and Burbank Galaxy Day. Tune in for an all-encompassing look at the week that was and the week that will be in Burbank!
