Burbank Bike Path Extension Fails

In case you are interested, the nimby's won and The City of Burbank will not extend the Chandler Bike to meet the LA River Path on Riverside Dr. At least until they find a new route.
I understand these people not wanting more traffic, but these are quiet streets and there is not that much bike traffic.
What really pissed me off is their claim that this will bring a bad element in....I am not a bad element
And I dont consider anyone here a bad element. In fact the Chandler path already connects to the Orange Line path and there has been no increase in crime or traffic...
Yeah I can see it now....1 adam-12 (oh theres that age thing again) 2 bank robbers riding bikes going down Chandler, they each have large money bags, try to apprehend before they get to the velodrome..

The city council picked the wrong street...that is the bigger issue...typical of them anyway...
