South 35th Avenue Corridor Extension Project

This project intends to provide a new connection between NW 259th Street and Pioneer Street.

Purpose and Need

During this project, the City of Ridgefield and its consultant team are engaging the community to:

• Evaluate concepts that will improve local travel reliability and connectivity within the study area (see graphic).
• Provide a new connection from South 10th Way in the Gee Creek Plateau to Pioneer Street (SR 501) to replace the only existing connection, Bertsinger Road, which is functionally obsolete.

Impacts and Considerations

The project seeks to:

• Minimize impacts to existing properties, communities, natural features, wetlands, oak habitat, and fish-bearing streams.
• Preserve identified historic structures and determine additional areas of historical significance.
• Create a new connection that follows property lines where possible to avoid splitting up land parcels, maximizes multimodal connectivity, and further connects existing roads and pedestrian facilities.
