Residents, along with officials from a proposed Lycee International de Los Angeles that wants to move into the old G.M. site and make a school for K-12 grade, met Thursday evening at The Buena Vista Library.

The gathering wanted to find out what the proposed Lycee International de Los Angeles School and residents could work out so both parties are happy.

Residents concerns were traffic, and noise, along with the other elements that schools bring. There were about 75 people in attendance and toward the end there was a show of hands that the residents would be willing to let the school proceed.

There are plenty of items that will need to be worked out but this was a fact finding mission, and not an official city meeting.

 

REPORT: School to Buy GM Site in Rancho From New Urban West

According to a story Tuesday by Andrew Khouri of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal, New Urban West has given up their fight to build condos on the old GM site in the Rancho District.

According to the story, New Urban West entered into a 90 day escrow with The Lycee International de Los Angeles school to buy the property.  If something goes wrong during the escrow, New Urban West will go ahead with their plans.

There is no news as to what the school will do with the property.  The school first started in 1978 in a house in Van Nuys with 30 students and today boasts campuses in the West Valley, Pasadena, Orange County and on Los Feliz with their corporate headquarters still in Van Nuys.
