Lake Balboa now official with boundaries and neighborhood council
I'ts now official and the West Van Nuys Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council's Web site displays it proudly.
The L.A. City Council in October adopted a corrective measure officially naming the southwestern part of Van Nuys as Lake Balboa. This follows the placement of street signs designating the area as Lake Balboa back in 2002, but the administrative procedure was never finalized - until now.
The neighborhood council's Web site proudly states "Welcome to the new home of the Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council."
In its approval, the City Council also OK'd changing the proposed boundaries so that they omit the industrial area north of Saticoy Street, east of Van Nuys Airport and the airport itself. It also omits the area south of Victory Boulevard and west of Balboa Boulevard, but includes the park area south of Victory to the L.A. River.
That means Lake Balboa is in the community of Lake Balboa.
