Apparently there is a movement to build a motorcross cross in Sun Valley. On Friday, February 24, there is a Zoning Administrator's hearing at the Marvin Braude Center in Van Nuys. Dirtrider.com has a press notice to its readers.
I only bring it up because it's the only such coarse (if it's approved) in the City. I have to wonder that if this were located in another part of the City, would it be getting such sparse attention? Remember when they wanted to build the Laker's Forum in the Sepulveda Basin in Encino? The people there banded together and fought it. Though it started with Mayor Yorty, the fight was so drawn out that then-Mayor Bradley even conceded to community activists personally when the project was finally defeated. (Then again, it was the community that found an alternate location... in Inglewood.) And even more recently, the proposal for the Oasis project in NoHo was rejected early on as the wrong location for such a venue (a few thousand seat multi-use arena).
Maybe the folks in Sun Valley want this use. I just have to wonder, though, how it's gotten such little attention in this age of scrutinized development.
