Transportation Master Plan

Visualize the future of transportation, updated master plan looks to 2040


Your Town thinks ahead. When it comes to transportation, our plan for the future is visualized in the Transportation Master Plan. 

Think beyond roads. This document outlines plans for all aspects of our transportation system over the next two decades – including bicycle routes, pedestrian links, road construction projects and more. The plan was last updated in 2011, and a lot has changed. Now, we’re updating the plan to look at 2040.

Thank you for your feedback!


In fall 2016, the Town gathered feedback regarding our transportation system. That feedback – along with research and analysis – led to a proposed list of roadway, pedestrian and bicycle projects along with ideas for managing demand on the road for the next five, 10 and 20 years. During April, we gathered feedback on that list. Now, a draft of the entire plan is ready for public review. 

Next steps


Please submit comments by Aug. 11. We'll incorporate that feedback into the final draft, which will go to Town Council for adoption consideration this fall.

Transit


In 2005, Castle Rock voters opted out of the Regional Transportation District (RTD) and related taxes. Transit will be part of the conversation looking ahead to 2040 in addition to regional conversations with Douglas County and the Colorado Department of Transportation. 

Downtown Parking


As the Town grows, it’s also important to study parking. A separate study is underway.
