2022 City Council Goals Input

The Lake Oswego City Council will hold its annual goal setting retreat on Saturday, January 22, 2022 beginning at 8:30 a.m. In preparation for its annual goal setting retreat, the City Council would like to hear from the community.

Please take a few minutes before January 7, 2022 to share your input online.

Comments will be shared with the City Council before their retreat.

Middle Housing Community Forum

The City is continuing to move forward with a multiyear project to align Lake Oswego housing needs and neighborhood context with new state legislation (House Bill 2001) that requires cities to allow duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhouses, and cottage clusters – also known as “middle housing” – in all areas where single family housing is currently permitted.

The Middle Housing Code Advisory Committee (MHCAC) recommendations will be presented at a virtual Community Forum on Thursday, December 9 at 6:30 p.m. as well as through the website. Both options will include opportunities to provide input prior to the City developing the concepts into code language.

Community Survey

The City is conducting a community survey. The goal of the 2021 community survey is to:

Measure general attitude of residents toward City services and programs
Determine residents’ priorities and areas of concern
Receive feedback on key policy issues
Measure City’s progress towards other cities benchmarks

The survey will be mailed to a limited number of households selected at random. In addition, the survey will be available to all community members online on December 6.

New Mid-Block Pedestrian Crossings on Boones Ferry Road

One of the many exciting features of the Boones Ferry Project is drastically improved pedestrian access. Two new mid-block pedestrian crossings with flashing beacons have been installed along Boones Ferry Road, and they are both quite unique. In late November, the new crossing located south of the Bryant intersection near the Lake Grove Shopping Center will be opened! Watch our engineers share tips for navigating the new crossings.
