The City of Ridgefield experienced an 18.3 percent population increase between 2020 and 2021, making it the fastest growing cities in Washington. To accommodate this growth and keep traffic moving safely and efficiently, the City has been planning to improve key north-south and east-west corridors. Royle Road is the only north-south route for residents of South Ridgefield to access Interstate 5. Close to 1,000 single family homes have or will be built along this corridor. In addition, Ridgefield Outdoor Recreation Complex and Ridgefield's First grocery store were recently completed and both of these facilities are of or in close proximity to Royle Road. The current facility on S. Royle Road is inadequate to the needs of the growing community. The existing roadway width of 20' does not support the community multimodal demands to safely accommodate vehicular traffic with bicycle and pedestrian users.

Project Description
The project will provide enhanced stormwater management, increase sight distance, and expand multimodal transportation, with bicycle lanes, a sidewalk, and connecting pedestrians, to services to the north, thereby benefiting the community of Ridgefield. In addition, the proposed project will provide an additional water line to improve flow and system reliability.
Existing Condition
Project Benefits
- There is a myriad of benefits that come with upgrading this roadway to a multimodal transportation facility: (1) equity - this public facility will be usable by all, by connecting residents to recreation, retail, and employment destination and allowing for modal choice;
- (2) safety - proposed facility will have wider travel lanes, bike lanes, turn lanes, and a sidewalk on the east side, reducing conflicts;
- (3) efficiency - roadway will have more capacity to carry more multimodal users to arrive to their destination safely without delay.
