Burbank schedules May 20 special meeting to discuss Metro BRT project and Senate Bill 79
Summary
Mayor Tamela Takahashi said a special council meeting will be held Wednesday, May 20 at 3 p.m. in council chambers to discuss updates on the Metro Bus Rapid Transit project (BRT) and Senate Bill 79 and potential local impacts; materials will be posted on the city's website.
Mayor Tamela Takahashi announced a special City Council meeting Wednesday, May 20 at 3 p.m. in council chambers to discuss updates related to the Metro Bus Rapid Transit project (BRT) and Senate Bill 79, including the latest developments and potential local impacts.
"A special council meeting will also be held on Wednesday, May 20 at 3PM in council chambers to discuss updates related to the Metro Bus Rapid Transit Project or BRT and Senate Bill 79 including latest developments and potential local impacts associated with both items," Takahashi said.
The mayor urged residents to consult the complete agenda and staff reports on the city's website for background and detail. She also said the meeting will be livestreamed: "If you can't join us in person, a live stream is available on Spectrum channel 6, AT&T channel 99, or on the city's YouTube page."
Why it matters: the Metro BRT project is a regional transit initiative that can affect local routing, stops and construction in Burbank; Senate Bill 79 (as referenced by the mayor) appears to be state legislation under consideration that the city will discuss for its potential local implications. The Mayor's Minute did not provide the text of the bill, specific impacts, or staff recommendations; those materials are in the agenda packet online.
The mayor did not state any formal council action or vote at the special meeting in the announcement.
