The City is conducting a survey to better understand the needs of Lake Oswego residents, prioritize services and guide Council policy discussions. The survey, being conducted independently by ETC Institute, is expected to take about 12 minutes to complete. Every question is essential! The survey is available at: www.LakeOswego.city/2021-community-survey

In addition to the online survey, the community survey was mailed to a limited number of households selected at random in order to get a statistically valid response. These households may receive survey reminders from the ETC Institute via email, phone call or text message.
