2025 Pavement Preservation
2025 Pavement Preservation work will include slurry seal in Seven Wells neighborhood.
Project Background
Ridgefield's livability, economic vitality, and public safety depend on a healthy, viable street system. This includes upgrading substandard roads, improving pavement conditions, and improving ADA accessibility. Scheduled maintenance extends the life of our streets by 50% and costs less than extensive repairs needed without it.
Each year Ridgefield completes road maintenance and preservation projects by monitoring and prioritizing streets according to the Pavement Conditions Index (PCI). Proactive pavement preservation methods are the best way to prevent costly street repairs in the future. This program is paid for by all who use Ridgefield’s streets through the Ridgefield Transportation Benefit District.
Next Steps
In 2025, resurfacing work will include Slurry Seal in Seven Wells neighborhood. Work is anticipated to be completed over two days in August 2025. Additional information will be provided to residents regarding the schedule for individual streets. Reasonable access to homes will be maintained.
ACTION REQUIRED: Trim Your Street Trees
As part of the 2025 Pavement Preservation Program we will soon be resurfacing streets in your neighborhood (see attached map). In order to complete this work, all street trees need to be trimmed to a height of 12’ off the edge of the asphalt. As per the Ridgefield Municipal Code, street trees are the responsibility of the abutting property owner. This means if there is a tree adjacent to the street in front/side/back of your house, it is your responsibility to make sure it is trimmed properly.
To avoid delays in resurfacing work, please ensure this work is completed by July 7th, 2025. The contractor is currently scheduled for early August but in years past they have been prepared earlier than they first anticipated.
Tree trimming can be hard work! Your neighbors all need to complete this task in order to bring your shared street to renewed life. Consider working together to get this done, contact your HOA or your neighbors to see if there is a landscaping resource that can be used to get the job done. Please use discretion with tree trimming and avoid trimming newer/smaller trees to heights that may damage the tree. Our priority is to preserve trees, while maximizing clearance for maintenance vehicles.
