The Burbank Widening Citizens Group has formed in opposition to the City of Los Angeles, Burbank Blvd. Street Widening Project.
The “BWC Group” consists of businesses situated along the affected roadway losing property and improvements without recompense. The BWC Group states, “The call for public comment on this project occurred in 2009, as was the Project Impact filing. With the passing of twelve years since the Project CEQ Impact filing and public comment, it is mandatory that a Project Impact Re-evaluation and a re-opening of a period of public comment. The neighborhood description in the 2009 Impact statement looks nothing like the 2021 neighborhood.” The BWC Group also notes that “the Planning Department has targeted many businesses as scofflaws who have built in the city right-of-way despite City permits on the improvements. There has been a lack of transparency and a failure of communication between citizens and the Planning Commission.” The BWC Group continues, “the bottom line is nobody wants this highway, and the neighborhood feels it’s unnecessary. The neighborhood wants a road that fits the neighborhood, not the other way around.” The BWC Group has a petition in opposition to Change. Org (Change.Org Petition in Opposition to the LA, Burbank Blvd Widening Project) and the BWC Group website at BurbankWidening.com
