Foothills Community Advisory Committee (CAC) MEETING #7 - 07/14/2026

The City of Lake Oswego's Foothills Community Advisory Committee (CAC) held its seventh meeting on July 14, 2026, focusing on the ongoing redevelopment planning for the Foothills District. Key discussions centered on refining the vision and guiding principles for the district, addressing infrastructure challenges such as pedestrian and vehicular crossings at State Street and the rail line, and exploring potential street network configurations to improve access and circulation. The committee reviewed preliminary schematic alternatives for the district's layout, including considerations for public spaces, development feasibility, and traffic calming measures. While no specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made, the meeting highlighted the importance of coordinating with multiple jurisdictions and stakeholders, including transit and utility providers, to support future infrastructure investments. The committee also discussed upcoming public engagement activities and planned to develop a recommendation for the planning commission and city council regarding preferred access points and design concepts in the next phase of the project.
