Security Guard in Lake Balboa, CA

On November 2, 2007, the City Council of Los Angeles approved a motion renaming a larger portion of Van Nuys to Lake Balboa. The new boundaries are as follows:

• I-405 / US-101 intersection, north to Saticoy Street,
• Saticoy Street west to Valjean Avenue,
• Valjean Avenue south to Vanowen Street,
• Vanowen Street west to Hayvenhurst Avenue,
• Hayvenhurst Avenue north to Saticoy Street,
• Saticoy Street west to Balboa Boulevard,
• Balboa Boulevard north to Balboa Place and then north to Roscoe Boulevard,
• Roscoe Boulevard west to Louise Avenue (south side of Roscoe Boulevard from Balboa Boulevard to Louise Avenue will remain in Northridge with the 91325 ZIP code),
• Louise Avenue south to Saticoy Street (east side of Louise Avenue from Roscoe Boulevard to Stagg Street will remain Northridge with the 91325 ZIP code),
• Saticoy Street west to White Oak Avenue,
• White Oak Avenue south to Victory Boulevard,
• Victory Boulevard east to Balboa Boulevard,
• Balboa Boulevard south to the Los Angeles River,
• The Los Angeles River southeasterly to where US-101 and I-405 meet.

These new boundaries were the compromise plan worked out with Los Angeles City Council members Greig Smith (CD12) and Tony Cardenas (CD6) that kept Van Nuys Airport and the predominantly industrial area north of Saticoy Street east of the airport in Van Nuys.

Lake Balboa is flanked on the north by Northridge, on the east by Van Nuys, on the south by the Sepulveda Basin and on the west by Reseda. Its street and other boundaries are Roscoe Boulevard on the north, Balboa Place, the Van Nuys Airport, Hayvenhurst Avenue and Odessa Avenue on the east, Victory Boulevard on the south and White Oak Avenue on the west.
