Magnolia Boulevard is a major east–west arterial road that runs for 10 miles (16 km) across the southeastern San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and Burbank, California.
Magnolia Boulevard, originally named Magnolia Avenue, was named after the magnolia tree. It is one of several tree-themed streets in Burbank, the others being Walnut, Cypress, Palm, Orange Grove, and Olive, with Magnolia being the only one that extends into Los Angeles. Magnolia was changed from an avenue to a boulevard in 1923.[1]
Route
Magnolia Boulevard travels east–west for more than ten miles across the southeastern San Fernando Valley. From west to east, the boulevard travels through Sherman Oaks, Valley Village, North Hollywood, and Burbank. Within North Hollywood, Magnolia travels through the NoHo Arts District, and within Burbank, Magnolia travels through Magnolia Park and the Burbank Media District.[2]
Magnolia Boulevard is four lanes for most of its length. The road slightly turns at the Los Angeles/Burbank border, traveling east–west in Los Angeles and east-northeast west-southwest in Burbank.
