Name JAMES A KRONEN BERG
Neighborhood Lakeview
What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2026 goal setting session?*
I would like the city to give serious consideration to redesignation of community streets.The twenty mile per hour
speed limit is public relations and not good public policy. For example,the city has spent a small fortune on
improving Lakeview and the contractor and subs did a marvelous job under budget and under the time span
proposed. Now we are confronted with a silly 20 MPH speed limit on a street that has no houses or driveways on
the north side and drastically improved parking and ample backing out sight lines along the lake.Whatever
Lakeview is designated as that makes it a 20 MPH street is beyond me. It should be at least 25 MPH and more
reasonably 30 MPH between the swim park and the narrow two-tenths of a mile on the east end toward Summit
where 20 MPH limits are reasonable.The decision not to reinstall speed bumps clearly indicates that this
thoroughfare is the main access to Iron Mountain and downtown Lake Oswego for anyone south of that street as
far as half-way to Stafford Road.Again,the 20 MPH neighborhood limit was not good public policy, but a sop to
people who put up signs to slow down because their kids are playing in the street.(??????)
