What happened to Burbank on the Boulevard? It was supposed to happen in March, but it just disappeared. Did it get rescheduled to the summer of 2018? There aren't any rides scheduled from July through September of that period. thanks, b (the trailer guy)

The Burbank event was declined by Burbank City Council. They are not doing their Metro-funded open streets event.
