Speed Limit Reductions and More Bike Lanes Coming to Castle Pines
In order to improve safety and quality of life in Castle Pines, City Council is implementing recommendations to reduce speed limits and add protected bike lanes.
The City will make significant modifications to Castle Pines Parkway from Forest Park Drive west to the roundabout at Buffalo Trail. These changes include reducing the number of lanes in each direction from two lanes to one, adding protected bike lanes in each direction, and reducing the speed limit from 40 mph to 35 mph.
High speeds are also a problem on the north side of the City. The City's public works department is evaluating similar improvements along Griggs Road and Daniel's Gate Road.
