WILL the last person to exit Van Nuys please turn out the lights?

Another portion of Van Nuys may be leaving the motherland. The West Van Nuys/Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council has applied to expand the Lake Balboa area to include the segment of Van Nuys west of the 405 Freeway.

If this passes, Van Nuys would splinter into more sections than the former Soviet Union. Valley Glen, Lake Balboa and parts of Valley Village were all formerly in Van Nuys.

City Councilman Tony Cardenas, whose district includes a swath of Van Nuys, says he's proud the community is "exploring options that will raise their neighborhood pride."
