LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — The Lake Oswego City Council voted 4-3 Tuesday to endorse a streetcar extension from Portland to their city.

It was another heated meeting in the city council chambers. At one point, Mayor Jack Hoffman called for a break because people in the audience were booing the council.

Porltand’s streetcar has a line operating between Northwest 23rd Avenue and the South Waterfront District.
