📢 This spring there are several updates happening with respect to Traffic and Pathways in the surrounding Palisades Neighborhood Association (PNA) area. First, many be noticing significant delays on Stafford Rd between the Rosemont Traffic Circle and Borland Rd traffic circle. The source of the delays is utility relocation work associated with the Stafford and Childs Road improvement. The utility relocation work is expected to continue for the next month or two and be complete in June. Recommendation is to consider alternative routes during busy times. PNA has been reaching out to Clackamas County Engineering and PNA will continue to provide updates as this important safety improvement project continues.
👏 Thanks to all PNA members who participated in Lake Oswego’s community input for the pathways program. Of particular importance are the Meadowlark Lane (Overlook to Ridge Pointe Dr) and the Tree Top Lane (Overlook to Fernwood Dr.) new pedestrian improvements coming based on our community feedback. PNA has received extensive feedback about interest in safety improvements in these two areas. PNA encourages all those interested to attend the final design open house for these improvements on Thursday April 10, 2025 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM in the Lakeridge High School Cafeteria.

🚶♀️For those who maybe haven’t notice, the pathway running along the west side of Stafford and in front of the new Aquatics and Rec center is now open. The temporary pathway on the east side has been removed and Stafford Rd is currently getting the final improvements to get ready for the opening of the Rec center. Several traffic updates were completed between March 17 -28 but work will continue until the Rec Center opens.
🏊♀️ Also notable is with the opening of the Lake Oswego Recreation and Aquatics Center (LORAC). The community will have several new Level 2 chargers installed. These are in addition to the DC Fast Chargers installed in the New Seasons shopping center. This truly makes Palisades a very EV friendly community.
🅿️ Many are interested in parking improvements in the Palisades Neighborhood, particularly around Lakeridge High School. PNA is working with the City of Lake Oswego and Lake Oswego School District on solutions that work for the entire neighborhood. These discussions are on-going with the goal of developing a long-term solution that can adapt to changes that will naturally occur over time. Please continue to follow the PNA newsletter, PNA website, and PNA general meetings as this work progresses.
