    Is there a plan for the increased traffic?

    To better support the increase of traffic in Ridgefield, a new roundabout will be constructed on Pioneer to provide access to the Recreation and Community Center and into the east end of Discovery Ridge. To learn more about the plan for increased traffic, please visit the Pioneer Widening and Discovery Drive Roundabout project page.
