BOONES FERRY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
CONSTRUCTION BEGINS RAMPING UP THIS MONTH!
Lake Oswego is embarking on a major milestone! On May
21, Council awarded a contract to Wildish to build the
Boones Ferry Road project improvements. Construction is
now upon us, which is historic in this decades-long planned
project. Work is expected to take about two and a half years
to complete.
This month, crews are beginning to mobilize equipment
to the project area, setting up a construction staging yard
(corner of Boones Ferry Road and W. Sunset Drive),
marking utilities with paint, and surveying the right-of-way.
In mid-June, crews will begin removing approximately 100
trees permitted for removal along the project corridor.
During construction, some travel lanes will be closed and
traffic will be shifted in the project corridor – but one travel
lane will be open in each direction. At times, crews will
be working both day and night. There will be delays and
disruption, but Boones Ferry Road will remain open during
construction, as will local businesses – please support them!
For more information, or to sign-up to receive e-newsletters,
visit www.boonesferryproject.org, call 503-697-6573 or
email info@boonesferryproject.org.

TRUST EVERY DROP
YOUR DRINKING WATER IS PURE
AND SAFE
2019 Water Quality Report Now Available
Lake Oswego’s tap water meets every State and
Federal requirement for safe drinking water!
Sourced from the Clackamas River - one of the
highest quality water sources in the state - your
drinking water goes through six stages of treatment
and filtration at the state-of-the-art Lake Oswego
Tigard Water Treatment Plant, and is tested for
over 90 contaminants before reaching your tap.
For this high-quality tap water, delivered straight
to your home, you pay less than a penny per
gallon; compare that to $1.00 for one 16-ounce
bottled water that is not required to meet the
same rigorous testing standards as tap water.
It is easy to take for granted when we turn
on our taps we always get clean, fresh water.
But knowing your water is important in
understanding your health and the quality of life
we enjoy. Get to know your water by reading
your 2019 Water Quality Report by July 31st and
enter to win $100 off your next utility bill! Visit
www.lakeoswego.city/2019-water-report to view
the report, or call 503-635-0394 to request a
mailed copy.
CITY HALL
PROJECT UPDATE
In May, the Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency
Board authorized funding for early site work and
material procurement for the City Hall project.
This benefits the project by providing construction
cost certainty for a portion of the project, locks in
materials cost, allows the weather sensitive work to
be completed during the dry-weather months and
it keeps the project moving on schedule. With
this approval, you may see some of the following
site work starting in June: demolition of 320
and 366 A Ave (buildings east of the existing city
hall), excavation, shoring, foundation, utility
improvements and tree removal.
For more information on this project, please visit
www.ci.oswego.or.us/lora/new-city-hall-project.

BACKFLOW TESTING - DUE BY JULY 15
The City’s Backflow and Cross Connection Control
Program - required by the Oregon Health Division
- helps to protect our public water system from
possible contamination. Backflow assemblies are used
to protect drinking water sources from non-potable
water. Backflow devices are only present in homes and
businesses with irrigation systems, medical equipment,
and private pump systems.
To help us prevent contamination and ensure the best
water quality for everyone, all backflow assemblies
must be tested annually by a state certified tester.
Testing must be completed by July 15. Following the
testing, the results/report need to be submitted to the
City’s Public Works Department by your tester.
A list of state certified testers can be found online at
www.lakeoswego.city/publicworks/backflow-and-cross-
connection-control-program.
For more information about the City’s cross
connection control program, backflow assemblies,
or testing requirements, please contact Lake Oswego
Public Works at backflow@ci.oswego.or.us or 503-
534-5674.
PLASTIC BAG BAN
BEGINS JULY 1
In December, City Council passed a plastic bag ban that
applies to all retailers, restaurants, and City-sponsored
events. The ban goes into effect for retailers larger
than 10,000 square feet on July 1, 2019, and all other
retailers on January 1, 2020.
What bags are included?
Only plastic carryout bags provided at the checkout.
What bags are not included?
Produce bags, bulk food bags, pharmacy prescription
bags, flower and dry cleaning bags, plastic bags that
contain hot liquid take out items, and bags that you
purchase to take home (dog poop, Ziploc, etc).
Will all stores charge 10 cents for paper bags?
The fee is 10 cents for a paper bag at all retailers larger
than 10,000 square feet. Smaller retailers have the
option to charge a minimum of 10 cents for a bag or
build the price of paper bags into their costs.
Where can I get a reusable bag?
Reusable bags are sold at most grocery stores, plus we
will have bag drop off/pick up boxes at City Hall, ACC,
and the Farmers’ Market where residents can drop off
bags they don’t need for others to pick up and use. The
City will also be distributing 14,000 free reusable bags
at events on June 29 and throughout the summer.
Why is the City doing this?
Plastic bags are in the top five items of collected marine
debris. They pose hazards to wildlife and create litter.
Plastic bags are not recyclable. When a plastic bag ends
up at a materials recovery facility, they frequently jam
sorting machinery. Go to www.lakeoswego.city/recycle/
plastic-bag-ban to watch a video illustrating this.
How can I get more information?
Please visit www.ci.oswego.or.us/recycle/plastic-bag-ban
or contact Jenny Slepian at jslepian@lakeoswego.city or
503-635-0291.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION TASK FORCE
The City Council is looking for people to serve on a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force. The
task force will focus on identifying barriers to participation on the City’s Boards and Commissions, and
identifying methods by which to increase the applicant pool for City job openings. Individuals selected
for the task force will meet at least once a month for a total of six months. For an application and more
information, please go to www.lakeoswego.city/DiversityTaskForce. Applications are due by Friday, June 21.
For questions, please contact Megan Phelan at mphelan@lakeoswego.city.
BRIDGE FEASIBILITY STUDY
OAK GROVE-LAKE OSWEGO PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE BRIDGE
What steps are needed to build a pedestrian/bicycle bridge across the Willamette? Who would own and
maintain it? How much would it cost? Clackamas County is leading a Metro-funded study in partnership
with the Cities of Lake Oswego and Milwaukie to determine if it is feasible to build a pedestrian/
bicycle bridge between unincorporated Oak Grove and the City of Lake Oswego. Share what you think
is important to consider through a survey at www.clackamas.us/transportation/oglo. Take the survey by
June 15. Community open houses will be held this summer. Meeting dates and more information will be
updated on the County website as well as the City’s.
VEGETATION
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Is the vegetation next to the roadway along your property a
hazard? It may be if it restricts visibility at an intersection,
obstructs the view of a sign, blocks a street light, impedes
traffic or pedestrians, or hinders maintenance work.
Lake Oswego City Code requires property owners to keep
sidewalks and the public right-of-way adjoining their
property free from rocks, leaves, yard clippings, ice, snow
and other debris. In addition, property owners must keep
sidewalks, streets and the public right-of-way adjoining
their property free from projecting or overhanging bushes,
brush and limbs that may make the passage of vehicles or
pedestrians unsafe. Property owners are responsible for both the clearing and disposal of debris.
Branches, leaves and other vegetative growth shall not be allowed to project an elevation of less than 9 feet
above the level of the sidewalk and 13.5 feet over a street. If your property is at an intersection, the corner
must be kept clear of vegetation over the height of 30 inches for the visibility of vehicles and pedestrians.
For more information, contact Traffic Engineer Mike Ward at traffic@lakeoswego.city.
FIELD DAY EVENT
SATURDAY, JUNE 22 - NANSEN SUMMIT
PARK, 69 NANSEN SUMMIT
Join the Lake Oswego Amateur Radio Emergency
Services team on Saturday, June 22, as LO ARES
radio operators (hams) join more than 40,000 of
their colleagues throughout North America for the
annual 2019 ARRL Field Day - a nationwide event
designed to test the skills of radio operators and
introduce emergency communications to the public.
LO ARES will set up a temporary transmitting
station at Nansen Summit Park. Meet the LO
ARES team and learn about the many ways they
are trained to assist Lake Oswego in the event of
emergency. The team will be operational from 11
a.m. until 10 p.m.
LO ARES backs up the LO Fire Department’s
communication system when called upon. Whether
earthquake, windstorm or other disaster, power,
cellular service and normal communications may
fail or become severely overloaded. When all else
fails, LO ARES will be there to help!
The team welcomes the public to come and learn
more about amateur radio, its benefit to our
community, and how you can get involved.
Directions to 2019 Field Day can easily be found
by going to www.googlemaps.com and entering
“Nansen Summit Park.”

FIREWORKS
SAFETY TIPS & WHAT’S LEGAL
Fireworks go on sale in Oregon on June 23. The Lake
Oswego Fire Department would like to remind you to
keep safe and don’t get burned with fireworks.
You can enjoy your holiday and the fireworks with just
a few simple safety tips.
• Use only legal fireworks (check Lake Oswego’s
Fireworks Ordinance)
• Use fireworks only in legal places (fireworks are
prohibited on beaches, City and State parks and
federal forest land)
• Never allow young children to play with or ignite
fireworks (did you know, sparklers can heat up to
1,200 degrees?)
• Never light fireworks near dry grass, brush, leaves or
flammable substances
• Never point or throw fireworks at another person
• Always have a garden hose or a bucket of water on
hand
• Never re-light a “dud” firework; wait 10-15
minutes, then soak in a bucket of water
• Discard firework debris in a non-
combustible container
• Keep pets indoors
The Lake Oswego Fire Department
encourages you and your family
to have a fun and enjoyable 4th of
July celebration by ensuring safe
practices and legal use of consumer
fireworks. For more information,
including what are legal and illegal
fireworks, call the Fire Department
