Burbank City Council Update!

We don’t have a very heavy agenda this week, but there were items of interest both for last week’s and the upcoming agenda.

Items of Note:

Last week the Burbank City Council approved the parking amendment for multifamily dwellings. dsc00142.JPG

This week the Council will look at the Rancho Amendment again, following up from the September 11th meeting. This time the text has been changed to make grocery stores a prohibited use in the Rancho commercial zones as opposed to just requiring a conditional use permit for the stores to operate.

The Burbank City Council will be meeting Tuesday at 6pm in the Burbank City Hall Council Chambers.

Remember that you can watch the City Council meetings live on Charter Communications Channel 6 or online at City of Burbank’s website.

Have a great week!

Bicycle Fever!

Are you thinking about buying a bicycle or getting back on the dusty one in your garage after watching the Tour De France?

If you are, then you might want to check out the great online maps that are available for bike paths in Los Angeles County.  Another great place to look is Los Angeles Department of Transportation’s (LADOT) Bicycle Maps page which has a list of bicycle path maps throughout Southern California.

The great thing is that you can go for short scenic rides, such as the Chandler Bike Path or get your heart racing with a longer jaunt.  The dedicated bike path along the Los Angeles River is great if you want to take the kids and not have to worry about traffic.  The only downside is you are right next to the 5 Fwy as well.

This is a great way to enjoy your neighborhood and get some exercise, but please, learn proper road etiquette and wear a helmet, don’t take a risk, like the girl in my cartoon!

Test your knowledge of bicycle safety!

Summer is almost over, go out and enjoy our great weather!!!
