Thousand Oaks, California Information:
The city's economy is based on a small range of businesses, with biotechnology, electronics, and financing occupying most of Thousand Oaks's employment sector. Amgen and Baxter Healthcare Corporation offer many high-tech jobs, while Countrywide and Verizon Wireless manage regional offices. As the city is usually considered a suburb, many residents also commute to neighboring Los Angeles and Westlake Village, where the regional headquarters of many large businesses (such as General Motors) are located.
Thousand Oaks is one of the few cities of over 100,000 which does not directly elect its mayor; rather the council members take turns rotating into the position. Amongst former members of the city's council is the late Ed Masry, attorney and activist. Masry achieved notoriety beyond his own community when Albert Finney portrayed him opposite Julia Roberts in the 2000 Academy Award-winning film, Erin Brockovich.
Today the city boasts a very active, and historically "slow growth"-minded city council. Along with the ordinances protecting the numerous oak trees, the city's leaders and residents alike boast of the ring of protected land, free from development, that surrounds the city's borders and which may account for the accelerating land values in recent years. More than 14,000 acres (57 kmē) have been designated as "Open Space" containing more than 75 miles of trails. Ironically, the most recent commercial development in the community that adjoins the Civic Arts Center, known as "The Lakes" destroyed a grove of old growth oaks, although great pains were taken to relocate the larger specimens. The continued existence of the well known "open space" around Thousand Oaks will likely be at issue in the future, as scarce land comes under development pressure that accompanies rising population and general demographic trends in the area.
Thousand Oaks, commonly referred to as "T.O." by local residents, is a city in southeastern Ventura County, California, in the United States. It was named after the many oak trees that grace the area, and the city seal is adorned with an oak. The city forms the most populated part of a regional area called the Conejo Valley, which includes Thousand Oaks proper, Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Agoura, Oak Park and parts of Calabasas. The Los Angeles County/Ventura County line crosses at the western city limits of Westlake Village, with Westlake Village proper being entirely in Los Angeles County.
Thousand Oaks lies in the heart of the Conejo Valley, with the city of Los Angeles to the east and the city of Ventura to the west. The city is served by U.S. Route 101 (Ventura Freeway), as well as California State Route 23. Highway 101 runs through the city and connects it with Los Angeles and Ventura. CA Route 23 connects to the 101 near Downtown Thousand Oaks, and runs north toward Moorpark and Simi Valley. Thousand Oaks is also served by TOT, which stands for Thousand Oaks Transit. TOT buses provide service to Thousand Oaks as well as some neighboring communities.
The city boasts many amenities that other cities of similar size lack; among these is a regional transportation center. The new facility offers bus and shuttle lines to Los Angeles and other nearby cities. In addition to offering shuttles from LA, it also serves as the primary station for TOT buses.
Air travel is provided primarily by Los Angeles International Airport for regular commuters, while the Bob Hope Airport (Burbank Airport) offers easier, less crowded air travel for companies located near the city. The city offers public transportation that runs to both airports. Los Angeles Intl. Airport is approximately 40 miles southeast of the city, while Burbank Airport is approximately 35 miles east of the city.
