    What is the City's plan with the house they just purchased at 813 Pioneer Street?

    Marge Larkin asked about 1 month ago

    813 Pioneer Street was identified as a site for potential future traffic revisions to accommodate growth in the downtown and waterfront sub areas. Since the property came up for sale now, it was purchased strategically to prepare for this future traffic revision. In the meantime, the property will rented out as affordable housing through a contracted property management company.

    More information is available in the agenda packet: https://ridgefieldwa.portal.civicclerk.com/event/761/files/report/859

    You can also listen to the Council meeting from March 13, 2025 when the Council Approved the purchase: https://ridgefieldwa.us/165/City-Meeting-Audio-Files

    Is there any update on the Pioneer widening project? It will be done by April 22nd still, correct?

    LarryM asked 3 months ago
    There are two timelines to report on here – 1) The consolidated Pioneer Street closure and 2) the Pioneer Widening and Discovery Drive Roundabout project.


    -1) The consolidated Pioneer Street closure between Discovery Drive and 56th Place which began in January is currently scheduled to open on April 22. Residents will see big changes over the next couple of weeks as building of the roadway occurs.
    -2) The complete Pioneer Widening and Discovery Drive Roundabout project is currently on schedule for final paving in September.


    The only full closures anticipated on Pioneer Street after the current closure opens will be a couple of days for final paving in the Fall. There will continue to be construction in the area until the project is complete, but the contractor will be able to utilize lane shifts to complete work while maintaining open travel on Pioneer Street.


    For more information on phasing, schedules and anticipated traffic impacts, visit the project page on Ridgefield Roundtable: https://ridgefieldroundtable.org/i5-to-royle-road

    HarryGund asked 8 months ago

    This weekend, Oct 25, will be the first weekend closure on Pioneer Street. There is another weekend closure scheduled for the following weekend, Nov. 1. After that, the culverts will be installed and there are no additional scheduled closures for this stage of the project. 

    While we did publish notice about previously scheduled closures, they were postponed/canceled.
