TRANSPORTATION STUDY

WHAT HAPPENED

The council heard a report on a transit study completed by the

Arroyo Verdugo Cities Subregion, which includes the Burbank,

Glendale, La Canada Flintridge, Pasadena and South Pasadena areas.

WHAT IT MEANS

The study found that there is an unmet need for better connections

between the Burbank-Glendale- Pasadena Airport, area transportation

nodes and activity centers. The study also found service deficiencies

along the Buena Vista Street, Verdugo Avenue and Kenneth Road

corridors. Among the strategies proposed to improve local conditions:

a circular bus service to supplement the Metropolitan Transportation

Authority’s regional routes.

VOTE

The council voted 5-0 to approve for discussion purposes.
