Provide input on the development of a citywide Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

November 20, 2023 at 12:29 pm

The City was awarded a grant from the Federal Highway Administration to complete a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. This plan will include roads, sidewalks, crossings, and mobility infrastructure. The project team will look at safety data, public input, and future growth to identify strategies that will help improve safety for all who travel around Castle Pines by car, on foot, by bike, or with an assistive device. The City will also use the Plan to seek additional grant funding for future projects to help create safer streets.

To help with this effort, we are seeking input from residents via an online survey. Your input will help shape the development of the Plan and other future efforts. Visit the Safe Streets for All Comprehensive Action Plan webpage for more information.
