The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council voted 13-3 on Friday to revise its rules to say that "Silver Lake is not located on the east side of Los Angeles nor is it accurate to refer to Silver Lake as an Eastside neighborhood or community."
The vote comes as some residents of Lincoln Heights and Boyle Heights have pushed back against the inclusion of communities such as Echo Park and Silver Lake under the Eastside label. Both are west of the LA River.
