Gateway Project

Project Background

The Gateway project is one of the City Council's priorities and focuses on creating welcoming entrances to the community for residents and visitors at the City's major thoroughfares. The Gateway project standardizes the City's signage and establishes a cohesive Castle Pines brand. View the City's Gateway and Wayfinding Plan for more information on the project.
