Buena Vista construction to worsen commute
By: Shelley Rizzotti
Considered some of the worst roads in Burbank, Buena Vista Street and Empire Avenue are undergoing resurfacing construction which will tie these roads up until early August, reports suggest. Both roads were rated “very poor” during a citywide survey of roads in 2005. Stretching from Jeffries Avenue to the alley south of San Fernando Blv, this is the final phase of the $824,000 project. The funds are coming from 2 places — $600,000 from city redevelopment funds and the second from state gasoline-tax revenue.
Most of Buena Vista construction will be complete by July 24th where Empire Avenue will remain open. The final touches on Empire Avenue will take place through next week during the late night, early hours.
