D AVENUE BLOCK PARTY
CELEBRATE PUBLIC WORKS WEEK AND THE COMPLETION OF THE NEW D AVENUE!
Join us on May 22, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., on D Avenue between 4th-5th Streets (in front of the Library)
Infrastructure and Public Works – our sewers, water,
streets, bridges, roads, pathways, rail lines, and
communication lines – affect us daily. Infrastructure
gets us to work, our children to school, powers our
homes and businesses, brings water to our taps,
carries our waste away and protects our public health.
These resources improve our quality of life every day.
Engineering, Public Works, and the Library
Departments are partnering together to commemorate
the one-year anniversary of breaking ground on the
D Avenue Improvement Project and to celebrate
National Public Works Week (May 19-25). Join us for
a block party celebration! We will have fun and creative
games for all ages, light snacks, a Master Gardeners’
presentation on how to create a rain garden (begins at 7
p.m., following the Block Party), and tours of the new
rain gardens and swales on D Avenue. Get a behind-
the-scenes view of Oscar the Street Sweeper, climb
aboard an excavator, or watch a live video of a robotic
camera inspecting a sewer pipe. Bring the whole family!
This event is open to all Lake Oswego community
members. We hope to see you there!

MAY 21, 2019 SPECIAL ELECTION
PROPOSED BONDS FOR OPEN SPACE, PARKS AND RECREATION LAND AND FACILITIES
The Lake Oswego City Council has referred a
parks and open spaces bond measure to voters
for the May 21, 2019 Special Election. If
approved, the measure would authorize the
City to issue general obligation bonds totaling
up to $30 million to be used for parks, park
and recreation facilities, and open space. With
previously approved park and open space bonds
maturing over the next three years, it is the intent
of the City Council to hold the property tax rate
associated with this bond measure, if it passes, to
no more than the current rate for Lake Oswego
parks and open space bonds. The uses of the
bond proceeds would be limited to the following
types of land acquisition and improvements:
• Acquisition of park property, both for natural
open space and for park land that could be
used for active or passive recreation. Proceeds
could be used to acquire land for open space
and parks within the city limits, as well as
within nearby unincorporated areas where
acquisition is determined to be in the City’s
long-term interests.

DOG RULES FOR LO PARKS
CITY TO STEP UP ENFORCEMENT
With warmer weather right around the corner, more
people - and their dogs - will be out and about in the
community. To ensure our neighborhoods, parks, natural
areas and public spaces remain safe and enjoyable for all
residents of Lake Oswego and its visitors, City Codes
have been established to help guide and manage the
responsibilities of dog owners.
PARK RULES:
• All dogs must be kept on-leash except in areas
designated by sign as “off-leash” and must be under
control by owner/keeper at all times on all park
property.
• Owners or keepers must promptly remove excrement
or other solid waste deposited by the animal.
• All dogs on park property must be licensed and
current in vaccinations.
• Dogs are not allowed on Athletic Fields unless
authorized by the Parks & Recreation Department
Director.
Due to the recent incidents in Lake Oswego parks,
the City will be stepping up enforcement by giving
citations to owners with dogs off-
leash in non-designated areas.
For detailed park rules, go
to www.lakeoswego.city/
parksrec/park-rules.
For details on city-wide dog
laws, including licensing requirements,
please call the Public Information
Office at 503-635-0257 or visit www.
lakeoswego.city/police/dog-safety-and-
complaint-reporting-information.
To provide a safe and enjoyable recreational
experience to dog owners/handlers and
their dogs, the City established two Dog
Parks and two designated Off-Leash Areas.
DOG PARKS
• Hazelia Dog Park
17800 Stafford Road
The Hazelia Dog Park is separated into
two areas. The northern most area is
for timid and shy dogs. The larger area
adjacent to the parking lot is for more
outgoing dogs.
• West Waluga Dog Park
15775 Waluga Drive
The West Waluga Dog Park was built in
spring of 2018. The Dog Park is located
in the fenced area of West Waluga Park.
Hazelia Dog Park and West Waluga Dog
Park are open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
OFF-LEASH AREAS
Local dogs and their owners are invited to
enjoy the designated off-leash dog areas
(OLA) at the following parks:
• Pilkington Park, 19043 Pilkington -
open area, no fencing.
• McNary Park - open space, no fencing.
Look for posted OLA rules at each location.
Open every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
ANNOYING NOISE
You have just sat down to enjoy a cup of coffee, read the
paper, the fresh breeze is blowing gently through your
open windows, then suddenly a helicopter thunders to
life on your roof forcing you to run screaming through
your house closing all of the windows! Actually it’s not
a helicopter, but the neighbor’s lawn service wielding a
leaf blower, lawn mower, and power washer; and then
there is the construction crew down the street - oh, and
the barking dog!
These are all sounds we learn to live with every day, but
most of us find incredibly annoying. All part of living
in neighborhoods, but you can make it better.
Before you start a project, schedule your lawn service
or have a party, think about the impact on your
neighbors and what you can do to reduce that impact.
Start your work later in the morning on weekends,
not before 7 a.m. on weekdays, and end before 6
p.m. Avoid Sundays if possible. Your neighbors will
appreciate it and you will do your part in making your
neighborhood an enjoyable environment for everyone.
If you have questions on noise please call the Public
Information Office at 503-635-0257 or visit www.
lakeoswego.city.
their opportunity to securely shred their documents.
• No loose material will be accepted.
• Follow all traffic rules and obey the instructions
given by Lake Oswego Police.
• No walk ups are allowed. For safety and security
reasons, you may not park your car and walk
up with bags for shredding or leave them on the
ground and walk away. The City is not responsible
for papers left behind (they will not be securely
shredded).
• Remember, this event is for securely shredding
paper – please do not bring garbage or other
material for disposal.
This event is sponsored by the Youth Leadership
Council, who are raising funds for Lines for Life (a
regional non-profit dedicated to preventing substance
abuse and suicide). A $5 donation is requested, or a
$10 donation which includes a free Youth Leadership
Council Lines for Life t-shirt! Youth Councilors will be
walking through the line to collect donations.
If you are unable to participate in this event, there are
other secure, convenient options available to shred your
documents - for example, the UPS Store or the Postal
Annex, will shred documents for a fee.

SHRED DAY Continued from page 1
ROAD CLOSURE: LAKEVIEW BOULEVARD
(BETWEEN JEAN ROAD AND BELMORE AVENUE)
To improve roadway and pedestrian safety, reduce
the turning space needed for freight vehicles, and
provide better sight lines, the City of Lake Oswego
is realigning the existing 3-leg intersection at
Lakeview Boulevard and Jean Road.
Construction is underway with single lane closures
and flagged traffic in the work area, both on Jean
Road and Lakeview Boulevard.
Throughout May, Lakeview Boulevard is expected
to be closed 24/7 between Jean Road and Belmore
Avenue and a detour will be in place. This closure is
expected to be in place for about a month. At most
times, access will be maintained for residents and
businesses in the closed zone. Jean Road is expected
to remain open, however single lane closures may
be in place.
Please note, construction schedules are subject
to change. For more information, visit www.
lakeoswego.city/publicworks/lakeview-blvd-
realignment or call 503-635-0261.
MAY 21 SPECIAL ELECTION Continued from page 1
• Renovation and replacement of park
improvements and facilities.
• Development of new park and recreation
improvements and facilities that are determined
to facilitate use by the community.
Specific uses of the bond proceeds would be guided
by the City’s current and future parks and capital
improvement plans, with input from the public and
from the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Advisory Board. If the measure passes, the bonds
would be repaid from property taxes over a period
of not more than 20 years. Because existing park
and open space bonds are maturing, and because
the new bonds can be issued in several series,
approval of this bond measure is estimated to result
in a tax rate less than or equal to the current tax
rates associated with Lake Oswego park and open
space bonds. The current combined tax rate for
Lake Oswego parks and open space bonds is $0.24
per $1,000 of assessed value, which would result in
an annual cost of $120 for a house with a taxable
assessed value (not real market value) of $500,000.
In addition to the parks and open spaces bond
measure, the City Council has referred a measure
that would amend the Lake Oswego Charter
regarding the frequency of the City Manager’s
Budget submittals. If this measure does not pass,
the City Manager would continue to annually
prepare and submit a proposed City budget for the
ensuing fiscal year.
