Lake Oswego to conduct Jean Road and Pilkington Road improvements starting next week

The city of Lake Oswego will begin implementing safety improvements at the intersection of Pilkington Road and Jean Road Monday, May 20, causing some road closure and traffic delays.

The city will add a new signal at the intersection along with curb ramps, bike lanes and sidewalks.

The city said some lanes may be shifted or reduced during work hours (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) in May and June but the public could expect a full road closure on Jean Road between Lakeview Boulevard and Pilkington Road once school is out. Businesses in that area will remain open, the city added.

“After careful evaluation, the Engineering Department recommended a signal for the Jean and Pilkington intersection to improve transportation capacity, efficiency, and safety. A signal will address sub-standard performance and improve pedestrian safety. It also minimizes impacts to adjacent properties,” the city website reads.
