A Rake is All it Takes

As leaves fall, storm drains can get blocked by debris, leading to localized flooding. These drains are vital for keeping streets and sidewalks clear of excess rainwater as well as maintaining stormwater quality standards. Simply clearing leaves and debris from the surface of catch basins near your property with a broom or rake can keep the drainage system functioning well.

The City has a limited number of free drop boxes available to support neighborhood clean-up events through a contract agreement with Republic Services. Neighborhoods can apply for a free drop box to help collect neighborhood leaves.

Go sLOw: 20 is Plenty

On September 2, 2025, the Lake Oswego City Council approved an ordinance to lower the speed limit on local residential streets and some neighborhood collectors in Lake Oswego from 25 miles per hour (mph) to 20 mph.

Reducing speeds through the 20 is Plenty program is a 2025 City Council goal. Lower speed limits on residential streets can lead to safer travel conditions for everyone using the street, as well as encouraging a more comfortable environment for people walking, rolling, and riding.
