This project is now complete and open.

The Pioneer Street Extension Project extended Pioneer Street approximately 400 feet east to a new roundabout. A new road was built south to S. 5th Street and become a segment of S Union Ridge Parkway. A traffic signal was also added to the Union Ridge Parkway/S 5th Street intersection.

Project Background

The Ridgefield Junction industrial/commercial area has been planned, through the Ridgefield Junction Sub Area plan, to serve the long-term viability of this developing local and regional economy. 

This project provides access to the new Advanced Manufacturing Center at Clark College’s Boschma Farms and acts as an arterial connection from I-5 to existing freight dependent businesses in Union Ridge Business Park. It increases traffic mobility and creates a safer road system in the area of Ridgefield Junction. The new sidewalks and crosswalks create a pedestrian facility that enables foot traffic to access all that the area has to offer.

    Thank you for your question. 

    There are multiple projects with different timelines that work toward our goal of an interconnected trail and sidewalk system. Currently, there are three main areas that present an obstacle when traveling by foot or bicycle between Downtown and the interstate: between Downtown and 32nd, between 35th and 39th, and between 47th and 56th.

    1. Downtown to 32nd
      1. The Mayor's Meadow to Reiman Road Multi-Use Trail will connect the existing Gee Creek at the southeast corner of Abrams Park to the intersection of Pioneer Street and N Reiman Road. This will fill a portion of this gap, one would just need to route through Abrams Park. This project is currently pending funding.
      2. The city is working too identify trail alignments to connect from Reiman Road to N 32nd Ave, where existing trail links up with Pioneer Street at the 35th roundabout.
    2. 35th to 39th - Currently, there are no projects being planned in the next 2-3 years to widen the segment of Pioneer between 35th and 39th. Next year, we will be working on an update to our Transportation Capital Facilities Plan which will produce a 6-year priority list of improvements as well as an updated 20-year plan. The community will have opportunities to engage in the update process in 2024, and this segment could be identified as a location prioritized for bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
    3. 47th to 56th - The I5 to Royle Road Transportation Improvements will include multi-modal paths on both sides of Pioneer Street, connecting to existing improvements on either side. This will be completed at the end of 2024.
