: 2010 - Dr. David Burbank Statue at Five Points Park; "City executives Tuesday dedicated the 12-foot-tall statue along with a time capsule and plaques recognizing Burbank’s sister cities in an upbeat ceremony at 1075 West Burbank Blvd. City Council members had approved the gateway public art project and appropriated $365,000 for the statue, with another $300,000 for site improvements at Five Points, according to city reports. Hand-fabricated in Italy by Andrea Favilli, the bronze sculpture depicts Burbank standing atop a large pedestal and features images associated with the city’s transportation- and media-related history. Mayor Gary Bric also presided over the dedication of plaques to sister cities Solna, Sweden; Incheon, Korea; Gaborone, Botswana; and Ota, Japan. The commemorative inscriptions surround the statue and speak to the city’s global influence, officials said. Officials have also brushed off repeated criticism that the statue bears little resemblance to David Burbank, maintaining that it is meant to serve as an artistic representation rather than a photographic image."
