Hello. We've got a lot of information this month!

Be a Good Neighbor!
First,
and most important: I've had the opportunity to talk with and hear from several of our neighbors recently.
Many of them have let me know that as a group, we haven't been ideal neighbors.
There are a LOT of us, and as we all know, we're in a residential area with one
way in and out.
Please
keep in mind that people do live here, and think about how you'd feel if your
neighborhood had the amount of steady traffic that this one does. Observe the
speed limit (maybe even go a little slower), give pedestrians a lot of room,
and please STOP AT THE STOP SIGNS. We're asking you to slow down and consider
the neighbors, even if it means you'll be a couple of minutes late for your
class or court time.
The Heat is (Almost) On
A
pretty consistent comment that we've received during the public outreach from
you, the LOTC community, is that you would like heat in the facility. I wanted
to make sure you all know that this is definitely going to happen. I
wrote about it in at least one previous newsletter. Because installing heaters
will require shutting down the courts and will be noisy and inconvenient, we
will do this in August during our annual maintenance shutdown. Next winter will
be much more pleasant for everyone!
Addition Project Updates
Based on the feedback we received
from public meetings, other written communication, survey results, and
additional information from the City’s Planning Department and City Attorney,
we believe that the Original
2003 concept design is a feasible design concept. Any design
concept that is acted upon must meet the guidelines of the City Charter,
Chapter X, City Code, the City’s planning process, and Sensitive Lands
requirements.
The next step is to present the
information we’ve received through the public outreach process to the Parks
Board.
The Parks Board meeting is
scheduled for Wednesday, May 16, 4:00 p.m. at the Lake Oswego Maintenance
Center, 17601 Pilkington Rd, Lake Oswego, OR 97035. If you would like to
address the Board, please
see the guidelines.
The Tennis Center Addition
Project information packet for the May 16 meeting is available
here.
Thank you again for your interest
in this project.
Also, please check out the Addition Project website. This is
where you can get the latest information about the potential addition.
Lottery Information
At
this time of year, people always want to know when their lottery courts end,
and when they can sign up again for the lottery.
The
last day of lottery courts is Thursday, May 31. If you have a Thursday court,
May 31 is your last day. Lottery signups will open again on June 1, and close
July 14. I'll send out the link when signups are open.
Memorial Day
Our
office will be closed on Monday, May 28, for Memorial Day. The courts will be
open, and you'll need a card key to access your reserved court. You can
get a card key at the front desk, or call us at 503-635-5550 for more
information.
Speaking of Card Keys...
Just
a reminder about card keys: your card key is for you to access your reserved court.
Now that we have online reservations, it's easy to book a court, even
last-minute, before you come in to play. Please make certain you have a
reservation before you use our courts. If we notice card key activity
that doesn't correspond with court reservations, you may lose your card key
privileges.
City League
Our
women's City League teams are now forming for Fall 2018. Have fun, make new
friends, and play teams from all around the metro area. For more information,
visit or call the front desk at 503-635-5550, or check out their website
at http://www.lotccityleague.org/.
