The Mayor's Meadow Multi-Use Trail will provide an accessible and safe path for pedestrians and cyclists between Reiman Road and Mayor's Meadow on the southeast corner of Abrams Park.
This trail project was identified and included in the City of Ridgefield's 2020 Parks Plan and Capital Facilities program as a priority. The project plan is to develop a multi use path along SR 501 (Pioneer Street), from Mayor's Meadow on the southeast corner of Abrams Park to the intersection of Pioneer Street and N Reiman Road. The path will connect to an existing path at N Reiman Road, which leads north to the rapidly expanding residential areas long N Reiman Road.
This project is an opportunity to provide an accessible multi-use path between residential areas and downtown Ridgefield, Union Ridge Elementary School, and the commercial, business, and recreational facilities to the west. It also moves toward the City's long term goal of pedestrian connectivity.
Ridgefield envisions an interconnected trail system that encourages healthy, active living, promotes pedestrian transportation options and independent mobility, increases community safety, reduces environmental impact, and supports greater social interaction and community identity. Pedestrian and trail improvements are a critical step to meeting this goal. However, areas of the city that developed prior to current pedestrian standards have created gaps in the city's network.
Background
An alternative analysis was completed in 2022 which presented three possible alternative options with cost estimates. The route will cross Gee Creek, so the alternatives also consider options for a pedestrian bridge. View the presentation made to City Council on June 9, 2022 (PDF).
Project Status
Planned Project - This project is in the long term plan for Ridgefield, but is not currently in Active development. Staff are looking for funding opportunities including grants and donations to build the trail.
Surveying, Permits, Design, and Trail Construction are pending funding and prioritization.
