We out here on the
“westside” have great qualities and character. We have a lot to
offer Provo and a lot they could learn from us. Words mean something and names can convey meaning. We can work together
and build a good reputation for our little part of Provo. When
people think of our area, I want them to wish that they could live here with us :)
Recently it was
presented to me to designate a name to the “westside” for a more
appealing idea about the area. Provo’s Lake District or The Lake
District. This would include and connect all of our neighborhoods
(Lakewood, Sunset, Provo Bay, Fort Utah, Lakeview South, Lakeview
North) and the major roads and amenities (Lakeview Parkway, Lakeshore
Drive, Utah Lake State Park, and more to come). We could set a
standard for what we believe our community out here stands for.
If you would like to see our area designated as Provo's Lake District, please sign.

I think it's a great idea. We live in what we consider the best part of Provo. We chose here because of the lake and River trail. I think having this name will better reflect the beauty that is here in this part of the city.
I'm not particular about Lakeview vs Lake District. I think going forward it makes sense to give people something to say besides West Side. Probably best for Provo as a whole as well, not just the residents, since there will still be a lot more development to come and this will provide a more descriptive name to identify the area.
If you read in the "Highlights" section, Don, and BJ, the name of Lakeview, isn't going away. Those of us who still LIVE in the area, take PRIDE in where we live! I LOVE my neighborhood, but I DO feel like we oftentimes get shunned or pushed aside, so to speak, as the "forgotten child" of Provo. This is my interpretation of it anyway.
The name Lakeview wouldn't be done away with. Lakeview North neighborhood, Lakeview South neighborhood, Lakeview Elementary school will still carry on the historic name. This is for everything west of the freeway which is commonly referred to as the 'westside'. This name was thought to be an inclusive name for the entire area i.e. Provo Bay, Sunset, Lakewood and Fort Utah neighborhoods. The common theme in naming roads and places out here has been the lake. Calling it the Lake District seems to have a better feeling behind it than calling it the 'westside'.
From its pioneer beginnings-the area was begun by settlers who were taught to fish by the Indians even before Provo was established. They have always called it Lakeview. Why would we want to change it? In honor of the founders on whose land we stand, walk, ride, and live, we think that we should keep the name of "Lakeview" for this area!!!
Sounds like a great idea!! Thanks!

I live in the Joaquin Neighborhood. I support calling Provo's west side the Lake District as a way of drawing greater positive interest to the area.
