If you thought money from President Obama’s 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was earmarked for larger states or cities,you can look at Lake Oswego’s “shovel ready” street rehabilitation projects scheduled for this Fall and into 2010, and know those projects are a result of stimulus funds.

Two inches of existing pavement will be replaced with two inches of new pavement at 37 different locations in Lake Oswego. All work will be accomplished between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.  When you find yourself sitting in traffic as a result of those scheduled projects, just know your tax dollars are at work.

If you want to know specific project information and which streets to avoid this Fall, you can go to the engineering pages of the City’s website.
