Sun Valley, located in the
San Fernando Valley just northwest of the Burbank Airport,
became a LANI neighborhood in 1994. It is a close-knit
community comprised of residential areas and small businesses,
as well as light industry fueled by the freight train
route in the project area. The community retains some
vestiges of its past as a rural ranching area in the
early 1900s with sporadic unpaved streets, and a lack
of sidewalks and lighting. The neighborhood is anchored
by a large park, which houses a gym and community center,
and by the Sun Valley Park Plaza, completed by LANI
and Sun Valley stakeholders in 2000. |
