Roadside lanes for cyclists and pedestrians will be added to two of Castle Rock’s main streets this month as part of a road resurfacing project.

The lanes will be added along both sides of Front Street, between Founders Parkway on the north and Liggett Road on the south, and along the west side of Prairie Hawk Drive, from Switch Grass Drive on the north to Wolfensberger Road on the south.

The lanes are being added as a result of feedback received during the course of updating the Town’s Transportation Master Plan. During that process, biking enthusiasts who prefer to ride in the street said they like having either a dedicated bike lane or a striped shoulder to use.

The update to the Transportation Master Plan will identify bike routes throughout Town. Until that update is complete, the new lanes will not be marked exclusively as bike lanes and, therefore, pedestrians also may use them.

Questions about the lanes can be directed to Traffic Engineering and Operations Manager Dan Sailer, 720-733-2470 or dsailer@CRgov.com.
