Among other local matters, in the November general election, Lake Oswego voters will have the opportunity to vote on Measure 3-618.

If Measure 3-618 is passed:

  • The City Charter would be amended, allowing the City of Lake Oswego to authorize Clackamas County to use up to 0.4 acres of Stevens Meadows for the limited purposes of public safety road improvements and driveway realignment.
  • The City Charter would continue prohibiting development on the rest of Stevens Meadows.
  • Clackamas County would fund and construct the roundabout project.
  • Measure 3-618 would not increase City taxes.

If Measure 3-618 does not passed:

  • The City Charter will continue to prohibit road construction and driveway realignment on all of Stevens Meadows.
  • The City would not authorize the County to use 0.4 acres at the corner of Stafford/Childs Rd for the road improvement project or driveway realignment.
  • The City will continue to manage the park in accordance with the City Charter.

Clackamas County Stafford Road Improvements Project

Project Design Features:

  • Build a new one-lane roundabout and 6ft bike lanes.
  • Lowest lifecycle cost (construction, right-of-way, operations and maintenance and safety).

Estimated Safety Improvements:

  • County engineers estimate the roundabout design road improvements could decrease fatal and injury crashes by 88% compared to a “no-build” alternative.

Environmental Mitigation:

  • Replacing an existing fish barrier with a more fish-friendly culvert.
  • Replanting areas along Pecan Creek with native trees and shrubs.

Estimated Congestion Improvements:

  • County engineers estimate the proposed roundabout design could reduce the average wait time eastbound on Childs Rd by approximately 95% compared to today’s wait times.

The PNA board then votes on which items should be included in the NEP grant proposal.

  • As items are purchased from the approved grant list, the project close-out form is filled out by the person requesting reimbursement. They will attach digital copies of receipts and photos and then submit all to both the NEP Project Coordinator and the PNA Chair. The NEP Project Coordinator submits the reimbursement request to Iris at the City for reimbursement.
  • Reimbursement checks are then sent directly to the person who purchased the item(s).
