Programs
To make Lake Oswego more accessible to all, the City has developed an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan (SETP). The Plan guides the City in making its buildings, parks, programs, and public right-of-way accessible to all, including people with disabilities.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) forecasts the City's capital needs over a six-year period based on various City-adopted long-range plans, goals and policies. Capital projects are generally large-scale endeavors in terms of cost, size and benefit to the community.
The Lake Oswego Transportation System includes more than 178 miles of streets, 32 traffic signals, 12.0 miles of pedestrian pathways, and shared ownership of the Jefferson Street Rail Line (aka Willamette Shoreline Trolley) within the city limits.
Construction for Carman Drive, McEwan Road, and Pilkington Road sidewalks were completed in fall 2026.
The City’s Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM) provides guidance and standards for the placement, design, and maintenance of structures used to control runoff, reduce flooding, and prevent pollution from contaminating our local waterways. The manual applies to stormwater management design for public and private development and redevelopment within the City of Lake Oswego.
In 2025, the manual was updated based on stakeholder feedback and revised DEQ water quality requirements. The latest version of the manual is here.
