Foothills Technical Advisory Committee 06/17/2026

The City of Lake Oswego's Foothills Technical Advisory Committee met on June 17, 2026, to discuss preliminary redevelopment concepts for the Foothills District Plan. The meeting focused on planning for infrastructure improvements, including new street networks, pedestrian and bike access, and the relocation of the wastewater treatment plant. Various redevelopment concepts were presented, emphasizing mixed-use development, improved connections between downtown and the waterfront, and enhanced public spaces. The committee also discussed challenges related to traffic, truck access to the wastewater treatment plant, and potential changes to State Street's configuration to improve the sense of arrival and pedestrian safety. Future steps include refining the preferred alternative, drafting the framework plan by November 2026, and aiming for plan adoption and related urban renewal and code amendments by early 2027. The meeting highlighted the need for ongoing technical discussions and coordination on infrastructure and redevelopment projects but did not include specific contract awards or procurement decisions at this stage.
