History
The Southern Pacific built their line north of Los Angeles to Burbank by mid-1873.[5] The company rebuilt the station in 1927. That building was destroyed in a fire in 1991.[6]
The modern station opened on October 26, 1992, with the inauguration of Metrolink services.[7]
In 2020, the Burbank City Council approved an extension of the Chandler Boulevard Bike Path to the station along a route that will include the under-construction Burbank Channel Bikeway[8] and a connection to the San Fernando Bikeway.[9]
The North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Project, a bus rapid transit line, currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2027, will stop at Olive/Lake, nearby, but not at, the station, due to safety concerns regarding the existing Olive Avenue bridge.[10][11]
