Ever wondered how a game show producer transitions into a bakery owner and then a city council candidate? Join us for a compelling conversation with Eddy Polon on My Burbank Talks: Meet the Candidate. Eddy brings his rich, multifaceted background to the table, sharing stories from his days as a head writer and judge on Tic-Tac-Toe, to pioneering online versions of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, to ultimately buying the Continental Kosher Bakery with his wife. His deep-rooted connection to Burbank and passion for community service shine through in every anecdote and insight.
We tackle some of Burbank’s most pressing issues, starting with transportation and homelessness. Eddy critiques the limitations of the current bus system and proposes innovative solutions for better connectivity and infrastructure improvements. From the structural challenges of the Olive Avenue Bridge to the potential for securing federal and state funds for upgrades, Eddy’s vision for a modernized, more efficient transportation network is both practical and inspiring. We also delve into affordable housing, exploring ideas like "gentle density development" and rent control to make Burbank more livable for all residents.
The conversation then navigates through community resources and local issues, such as the enhancement of the Starlight Bowl and the implications of introducing parking meters downtown. Eddie offers practical solutions and thoughtful perspectives, whether discussing public-private partnerships to improve community venues or balancing public safety resources. This episode is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of Burbank, as we also highlight the importance of getting to know all candidates running for office, encouraging them to share their stories and platforms with the community.
