Foothills Technical Advisory Committee 10/07/2026

The City of Lake Oswego Foothills Technical Advisory Committee met on October 7, 2026, to review the schematic planning work for the Foothills redevelopment district. Discussion covered the proposed Grand Connection and street network, State Street pedestrian access, north and south portals, potential walk/bike bridges over the rail line, and coordination with ODOT, rail stakeholders, PGE, the wastewater treatment plant, watershed groups, and city parks staff. The committee also discussed park and trail connections, possible river access, floodplain and grading constraints, traffic operations, and infrastructure needs. Development feasibility analysis is testing a capacity of approximately 1,400 residential units and 36,000 square feet of retail; infrastructure costs are being evaluated, but no specific budget allocation or dollar amount was reported.

No contract awards, solicitations, vendor selections, procurement approvals, or spending-related votes were identified. Staff plan focused technical follow-up meetings in October and early November, with a preferred schematic plan anticipated in early November, a draft framework plan targeted for February, and adoption targeted around April 1. Implementing code and zoning-map amendments are also planned, with timing not specified in the transcript.
