Sherman Way, nicknamed "The Way", is a major east–west arterial road that runs for 16 miles (26 km) across the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and Burbank, California.
Sherman Way was named after Moses Hazeltine Sherman, a major developer in early Los Angeles. Sherman Way intersects with Hazeltine Avenue, another street named for him.[1]
Due to Sherman Way's prominence as a thoroughfare through the Valley, it is sometimes referred to simply as "The Way". Businesses and organizations with a Sherman Way street address sometimes name themselves to indicate that they are "on the Way", such as The Church on the Way in Van Nuys. This trend is intended to evoke the English phrase "on the way".
Route
Sherman Way travels east–west across almost the entire San Fernando Valley. From west to east, it travels from West Hills, through Canoga Park, Winnetka, Reseda, Van Nuys, North Hollywood, and Sun Valley, and into Burbank. The majority of the street is four lanes, and much of it contains a median strip.
Sherman Way travels under Van Nuys Airport via the Sherman Way Tunnel, and the street's eastern terminus is at Hollywood Burbank Airport. The street however does not provide direct access to either airport.
