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

    Marge Larkin asked about 21 hours 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 about 1 month 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

    How many more weekend shutdowns of Pioneer will occur? This is getting to be too much.

    HarryGund asked 7 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.

    Replacement of park signs is a project that is managed by the Parks Manager, Corey Crownhart and is dependent on funding. For the most up to date status on this project, please reach out to Corey at Corey.Crownhart@ridgefieldwa.us.

    Hello, 

    That area would be landscaped/managed by the property owner, "Pioneer Village Holdings LLC," not the city. Please contact them directly for information.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for reaching out!

    We will relay this to Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to have them remove the mile markers. This was a large transition and we are still catching some wayward signs. Thank you for letting us know.

    Tutu Rose asked 9 months ago

    Our most recent update on the Splash Pad was Tuesday, July 30 and is pasted below. We are currently still in the testing phase. 

    Tuesday, July 30 Update:

    This week, the City will be supervising the contractor’s testing on the Overlook Park Splash Pad that requires the above ground jets to be on. The Splash Pad will be closed to the public during testing, please respect this closure and refrain from playing in the water or on the pad.

    There are two critical systems that must work for a recirculating Splash Pad to be operational and safe. First, the mechanical system that sprays, collects, and recirculates water must function at the right flow without major water loss. Second, the system that filters and sanitizes the water must be able to maintain safe chlorine levels. If chlorine levels fall too low, the water can grow harmful bacteria. If chlorine levels are too high, it can be dangerous to users. These are the systems that the contractor has been working on, and this week’s testing will allow us to make sure the system can successfully maintain safe operation. Once open, this system will receive routine testing and maintenance similar to any public pool.

    Results from this testing will determine when the Splash Pad may be able to open. If the system functions safely and properly, we may be able to open soon. If there are still critical issues, we will need to have the contractor continue working to make the feature safe.

    In the meantime, please do not enter the Splash Pad when testing is in progress. We will let you know as soon as we have more information.
