The Lake Is Back!

Posted on June 1, 2011
The Lake Oswego Sewer Project is in the final stages - on time and under budget!  That means the lake will be back for some summer boating!  Now we just need the weather to cooperate so we can get out there and enjoy it.  The lake was filled to 98.6 ft last week.

Buyers, Sellers, Landlords, Tenants...IMPORTANT Carbon Monoxide Info!

Posted on December 8, 2010
Hopefully all landlords and tenants out there are aware of the Oregon law that went into effect July 1st of this year that requires carbon monoxide alarms in all rental properties.  As of April 1, 2011, home buyers and sellers need to be aware that all one and two family homes, manufactured homes, and multifamily housing must contain one or more functioning carbon monoxide alarms before conveying fee title or transferring possession.  As of April 1, 2011, all new construction and renovation that requires a building permit will also be required to have the alarms.

Lake Oswego to Portland Transit Project

Posted on November 5, 2010
Click on the image below to find a link to the most recent update/report for the Lake Oswego to Portland Transit Project.  For those of you unfamiliar with the project, it is a controversial transportation project that hopes to provide increased public transport between Portland and Lake Oswego.  The most controversial issues have been how to provide the transportation (bus, streetcar, do nothing, river transit, widen Hwy 43), how much it will cost, and who will pay for it.
 
The options outlined in this most recent report detail the ridership numbers expected, who will pay for it, and operation costs for the three most viable options, which are 1) no build - do nothing 2) enhanced bus route options and 3) streetcar, which has a number of different route options including using the existing Willamette Shore Line or Macadam Ave.
 
The next step of the project will be the public process that includes a 45-day public comment period (we are already into the 45-days).  I highly recommend that people living in the South Waterfront, John's Landing, Dunthorpe, Riverdale, and Lake Oswego area pay attention to this process and get involved.  Feel free to leave any comments or opinions about the project here on my blog!  Click the image below for the full report.
