How Many Billboards in Studio City, and How Many Police Divisions?

Do you have a question about Studio City? Community activist Lisa Sarkin is answering questions about history and issues in our area in this   column.

I know Studio City is mostly the North Hollywood division, but does it also have Hollywood and Van Nuys serving parts of it?—Thanks from Lisa Stoms

Hi Lisa, I believe you are referring to the Los Angeles Police Department. Parts of Studio City come under the North Hollywood Division and the Van Nuys Division.  Hollywood Division has no area in Studio City.

North Hollywood Division is responsible from Lankershim Blvd. to Coldwater Avenue and Mulholland Drive to the 101 Freeway (map attached in the gallery above) , like the boundaries of Council District 2 (Paul Krekorian's district.)

Van Nuys Division is responsible for the rest of Studio City (map attached) , like boundaries of CD5 (Paul Koretz's district).

Do you have any idea how many billboards there are in Studio City…and is there one main company that runs them? Any idea what the going rate is per month? – Richard Carl

There were 59 billboards in Studio City at last count in November 2010.

CBS Outdoor owns most of the billboards in Studio City. I suggest you contact that company to find out pricing.
