During the June 24 City Council meeting, the Council approved the addition of a roundabout at the intersection of Buffalo Trail and Monarch Boulevard. This addition will be completed as part of the ongoing 2025 Monarch Boulevard reconstruction project. The addition of the roundabout will:

• Improve the ability to make a left turn from Buffalo Trail to northbound Monarch Boulevard
• Provide safer crossings for pedestrians
• Improve safety by naturally reducing traffic speeds

Constructing the roundabout as a part of the current project also reduces future construction costs by replacing the intersection pavement at the same time as the current project.

Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks about the schedule for this portion of the project and traffic lane shifts. Access on Monarch Boulevard will be maintained during the construction of the roundabout portion of the project. The project remains on schedule. Visit CastlePinesCO.gov/Monarch for more information about the overall project.
