The City Council of Lake Oswego convened on March 4, 2023, to discuss various community issues, with a particular focus on accessibility improvements within the city.
One of the key topics addressed was the need for curb ramps on sidewalks, which currently lack adequate accessibility features. A council member expressed enthusiasm for the planned construction of 19 new ramps scheduled for 2025. However, they emphasized the importance of ongoing improvements, suggesting that dedicating 1% of the city’s budget to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enhancements could significantly advance the city’s long-term accessibility goals.

The meeting concluded with an appreciation for the suggestions made, indicating a willingness to consider the proposed budget allocation for future planning. The council's commitment to enhancing accessibility remains a priority as they navigate budgetary limitations and community needs.
