The Transit Neighborhood Plan development is an effort to identify new specific development guidelines for selected neighborhoods along transit corridors. In our case, the corridor is from Victory to Burbank and Sepulveda to Hazeltine, encompassing the Sepulveda and Van Nuys Orange Line Stations. In each corridor the objective is to revitalize neighborhoods, create an opportunity for more jobs and housing, foster a vibrant mix of land uses, increase mobility access, and improve public spaces. Come to the next community meeting on July 25, 7pm to share your input on the revitalization of our community.

Local businesses can apply to lease space and operate in the Marvin Braude Retail Mall at the Van Nuys Government Center 6262 Van Nuys Blvd. City Council District 6 is focused on reactivating the area to increase pedestrian traffic by increasing programming in the plaza including events such as summer movie nights and community festivals as well as increasing public parking in the area. Proposals are now due and will remain open until all spaces are leased.

Join us for our next Planning and Land Use Meeting on Wednesday, July 18, 6:30pm at the Van Nuys Community Police Station, 6240 Sylmar Ave.
