Public Works professionals operate at the heart of our community to connect us all through infrastructure and service. Join us May 21-27 for National Public Works Week, as we go behind-the-scenes in a video series and showcase some of our unsung heroes working in Public Works in Lake Oswego!
Covering everything from Geographic Information Systems and Engineering, to City Beautification and Surface, Wastewater and Water Systems, these seven public works professionals will be sharing their stories about their favorite and least favorite aspects of public works, unique elements of working in Lake Oswego, and things they would love the public to know more about! Follow along on the City's Social Media accounts or YouTube throughout the week!

No matter the weather or the emergency, these hardworking professionals brave the elements to maintain all the infrastructure needed to ensure high-quality drinking water is there when you need it!
The McVey Avenue/Stafford Road Corridor Vision Study aims to identify potential street improvements to efficiently move people through this busy corridor and improve the safety for all users. Based on the 325 comments we received from our first online open house, our team developed some preliminary concepts for your review and input at our second online open house. Thank you for your feedback! We are incorporating this additional feedback into developing a Concept Development Report to present to City Council later this year.
Great news! The North Shore Road bridge is back open to all traffic - including people walking, rolling, riding, and driving!
Thank you for your patience and understanding while the bridge and roadway were closed for a long duration to enable the emergency work. We are so pleased to have the retaining walls now replaced and the bridge back open and safe for all users!
Lake Oswego, with Portland's support, is proposing to build a new, state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility to replace the aging Tryon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

We want your help in making community streets a safer and more comfortable place. While staff work diligently on addressing issues that are spotted, we understand that we can’t catch everything.
