The public was invited to celebrate, learn about local transportation options, and find ways to “reduce car dependency and increase mobility,” according to a statement from the city.
In 2004, Burbank and LA Metro turned the former Chandler rail line into the Chandler Bikeway, a 2.2-mile path that runs from Mariposa Street to the city’s border at Clybourn Avenue. The bike path connects the east and west ends of the San Fernando Valley, with access to the Sepulveda Basin and the North Hollywood Arts District.
