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.
Pedestrian improvements are coming in summer/fall 2025 to portions of Meadowlark Lane, Tree Top Lane, Carman Drive, and Pilkington Road. Shaped by feedback from the community, available roadway space, and technical analysis, designs are now complete.
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.
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.
The City has updated the manual based on stakeholder feedback and revised DEQ water quality requirements. The 2025 draft manual is available for public comment through May 30.
