Shifting demographics show that Lake Oswego is an
aging community. Many LO residents want to grow
old here and may choose to reassess their lifestyle and
living arrangements. The power of planning ahead and
understanding available resources and choices now is the
key to a more secure future. On November 6, from 2 to
5 p.m., the Adult Community Center is hosting a program
designed for pre-retirees, retirees, and adult children
of aging parents who want to understand and explore
options in Lake Oswego and surrounding communities.
A panel of experts will focus on: the impact of change as
we age; legal and financial matters; successful aging in
place with supportive services and technologies (both
current and future); care coordination; community
resources; and navigating long-term options. The panel
includes Meagan Lawler, Gerontologist/Psychologist; Tom
Pixton, Elder Law Attorney; Ray Grubbs, Financial Advisor;
Molly Beauregard, Care Coordinator; Claude Goodman,
CareWheels/Lake Oswego Value Exchange; Nancy Raske,
Placement Resource Specialist; and Dana Tassos, Adult
Center Client Services Coordinator.
Doors open at 1:30 p.m. Call the Center at 503-635-3758,
for information and to make a reservation. This program
is open to the public and there is no charge.
Bring your youngsters to an old-fashioned Harvest
Festival full of magnificent games and marvelous crafts.

what’S happenIng In YOur neIghBOrhOOd?
Several of Lake Oswego’s neighborhood associations have
created independent web sites to share information.
Visiting these sites is a great way to learn about your
neighborhood and the work of the association!
• First Addition/Forest Hills: www.fanforesthills.com
• Glenmorrie: www.glenmorrie.wordpress.com
• McVey-South Shore: www.mcveyssna.org
• Palisades: www.palisadesneighborhood.org
• Uplands: www.uplandsneighborhood.org
• Westridge: www.wnalo.org
Lake Oswego has 22 neighborhood associations that
are formally recognized by the City. These volunteer
organizations bring neighbors together to improve the
livability of Lake Oswego’s neighborhoods. Neighborhood
associations are different from homeowners associations:
they typically represent a larger area that may include
multiple homeowners associations; they cannot collect
dues; and participation is voluntary and open to all
citizens who live, own property or a business within the
neighborhood boundary.
To locate your neighborhood, see the neighborhood map
at www.ci.oswego.or.us/plan/Neighborhoods/default.htm.
thank YOu lOhS crOSS cOuntrY team!
The City would like to thank the Lake Oswego High School Cross Country team and their coach, Eric Lider, for their hard
work at Springbrook Park. Approximately 80 students repaired trails and pulled ivy. Thanks to these students, several
sections of trails are now covered with a 2-3 inch layer of gravel. These trails, normally muddy during the winter, will
now be accessible all year. In addition, students pulled invasive ivy along the same trail area providing open space for
native plants to take root. Thank you!
naStY SurprISe
In September, more than 20 bags of pet waste were
found in a stormwater inlet that drains to Carter Creek
and subsequently to the Tualatin River. While the waste
was removed, City Staff would like to remind citizens to
place pet waste into the proper garbage receptacles.
In addition to clogging stormwater conveyance pipes,
depositing any waste into a stormwater inlet can cause
flooding and can result in thousands of dollars in
unnecessary maintenance and repair costs to the City.
Disposing of pet waste in this way is also a violation of
the City’s Utility Code.
Since January 2010, Oregonians can no longer throw computers, monitors and TVs
into the garbage. Oregon E-Cycles is a free, easy and environmentally responsible
recycling program for computers, monitors and TVs. Anyone can bring seven
or fewer computers (desktops and laptops), monitors and TVs at a time to
participating Oregon E-Cycles collection sites for free recycling. Please note that
computer peripherals (keyboards, mice, etc.) and other types of electronics are
not included in this program.
Oregon E-Cycles drop-off locations in Lake Oswego include Far West Fibers,
341 Foothills Rd., and Goodwill, 401 S. State St. For more information, drop
off hours, or to find additional locations, visit the Oregon E-Cycles website at
www.oregonecycles.org or call 888-532-9253.
The water treatment plant is the largest and most
complex facility among those being upgraded. Meetings
focusing on power usage, architecture, landscaping,
seismic and security needs are planned over the next
several months to ensure that the plant in West Linn is
a good neighbor, a good environmental steward, and
a lasting source of drinking water for Tigard and Lake
Oswego. In addition, the public outreach team has met
with neighbors around the plant at over 25 meetings since
early 2010 to understand and address their concerns.
The 15 miles of “raw” (untreated) and “finished”
(treated) water pipelines are also under design. These
pipes will be upsized to serve both Lake Oswego and
Tigard and will travel through Gladstone, West Linn, and
Lake Oswego. Finding the best route for these pipelines
takes a great deal of research about the location of
other utilities, making the fewest traffic disruptions and
finding the right geologic conditions. The outreach team
is meeting with 16 neighborhoods in four communities
between September and November to present proposed
alignments and gather feedback.
If your neighborhood, homeowners’ or civic association
would like to learn more, please contact Laura Barrie at
503-534-4239 to schedule a presentation.

The City has posted two new questions on Open City Hall.
Please take a few minutes to give us your feedback on:
Transportation: How can the transportation infrastructure
in Lake Oswego be improved – pathways, sidewalks,
roadways and bike routes? What impact would those
changes have on your choice to use a car, bike, mass
transit, or walk? (visit www.peakdemocracy.com/765)
Farmers’ Market: Why do you attend the Lake Oswego
Farmers’ Market and how does the Market and the items
you purchase help meet your diet and lifestyle goals?
(visit www.peakdemocracy.com/759)

Fall is here, which means leaves will soon be blanketing
streets, lawns and sidewalks. The City would like to
remind property owners that they are responsible for
keeping sidewalks abutting their property clean of debris,
leaves, ice and snow, and other material which may make
the sidewalk hazardous. In addition, property owners are
also responsible for keeping the sidewalk in good repair.
Not sure what to do with all the leaves piling up in your
yard? Don’t put them in the street! Lake Oswego City
Code prohibits blowing, sweeping, raking, or otherwise
depositing debris onto sidewalks or streets. Use your yard
debris container provided by Allied Waste. For additional
leaf collection, use “Kraft” bags for a small additional
fee per bag, Allied will collect them. Leaves can also be
taken to drop-off sites. For a list of sites, call the Citizen
Information Center at 503-635-0257.
