⚠️ Traffic alert: Starting Monday, Aug. 3, please watch for changing traffic patterns, lane closures and lane shifts on Front Street near the intersection of Sam Walton Lane for emergency waterline repair work.

The emergency repair is necessary to fix a crack in a major waterline that runs beneath Interstate 25. Water has been temporarily diverted from the damaged pipe, and all customers continue to have water service. The repair work will not affect water service or traffic on I-25.

During repairs, the southbound lanes of Front Street will be closed starting just north of Sam Walton Lane. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction through the work zone. Southbound traffic will temporarily shift into one northbound lane, while northbound traffic will continue in the remaining northbound lane.

Please allow extra travel time and watch for changing traffic patterns in the area. Roadside signs will provide the latest traffic information.

The closure is expected to remain in place through about Monday, Aug. 10, weather permitting.

Need a ride to a doctor's appointment, the grocery store, work or another destination? A new transportation option is now available in Castle Rock.

Starting today, Friday, July 31, riders can book free trips anywhere in Castle Rock using the new Link On Demand rideshare service. This app-based, on-demand transportation option is funded by local governments and provides access to Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, select areas of Parker and now Castle Rock.

Within Castle Rock, riders can travel anywhere within the service area, as well as directly to and from destinations in Lone Tree.

To travel to Highlands Ranch or select areas of Parker, riders will need to use the designated Transfer Hub in the Via app to connect with another Link On Demand vehicle serving those areas.

Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sunday: No service.

Typical wait times range from 10 to 25 minutes per ride, depending on demand.

The service is wheelchair accessible.

On Thursday, July 30, the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners joined partners from the Town of Castle Rock, the Colorado Department of Transportation and service provider Via Transportation to celebrate the expansion of Link On Demand into Castle Rock with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Town Hall.

"Link On Demand is about much more than transportation — it's a program helping people get to work, make it to medical appointments, run errands and stay connected to friends and family," said Mayor Jason Gray. “We're excited to offer this service to Castle Rock and add another amenity that strengthens our community and enhances our residents' quality of life."

Earlier this year, Town Council approved an agreement with Douglas County for a one-year pilot program to bring the on-demand rideshare service to Castle Rock. The estimated annual cost of the program is $2 million, with the Town contributing $400,000. Based on projected first-year ridership of 50,000 to 60,000 trips, the estimated cost per ride in Castle Rock is $33 to $40, with the Town's share estimated at $6.70 to $8 per ride. Castle Rock, Douglas County and a grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation fund this service, which is offered at no cost to riders.

"As a Castle Rock resident, it's exciting to see Link On Demand become part of our community,” said Commissioner George Teal. “Throughout Douglas County, including in Castle Rock, we heard from older adults, people with disabilities and others that they really needed a way to get to work, doctor’s appointments to run errands and more. I’m thankful to Castle Rock Council and CDOT for working with us to invest in practical solutions that improve quality of life.”

🚲⚡ New CRPD program helps riders identify and classify their e-bikes

At first glance, not every electric bike is what it appears, and determining if an e-bike meets Colorado’s legal classifications can sometimes be confusing for riders and parents. To help bring clarity and confidence to the community, the Castle Rock Police Department is launching a voluntary E-Bike Classification program that allows owners to have their e-bikes inspected before receiving a classification sticker.

The program was designed to help riders understand the type of e-bike they own and provide a simple visual indicator the bike has been reviewed and classified. Once inspected by a Castle Rock Police officer or other designated e-bike classification partner, qualifying bikes will receive a tamper-resistant sticker identifying their classification. Whether purchasing a new e-bike, buying a used one or simply wanting reassurance the bike complies with the law, the program offers owners added peace of mind.

“Our goal is to help families understand what they have and where they can ride,” said Castle Rock Police Sergeant Amanda Lane. “Many people don't realize some vehicles sold as e-bikes don't meet Colorado's legal classifications. This program gives riders confidence their bike has been properly classified, while also helping educate our community about safe and legal riding in the Town of Castle Rock."

This classification program is not a registration program and does not replace proof of ownership. E-bike owners are encouraged to keep records of their purchases to include serial numbers. Additionally, a classification sticker does not give e-bike riders the ability to bypass local laws or ride recklessly, and riders who break the law or operate modified or illegal vehicles remain subject to enforcement. Riders with stickers will still be contacted if they are observed riding recklessly or where e-bikes are prohibited and remain subject to applicable municipal and State laws.

We’re aware that this afternoon’s electrical storm has impacted power to several CDOT and Town traffic signals in Castle Rock, including along Founders Parkway, Front Street and Promenade Parkway.

If you approach a traffic signal that is flashing red or has no power, treat the intersection as a four-way stop:

🛑 Come to a complete stop
➡️ Yield to the vehicle on your right if you arrive at the same time
🚶‍♂️ Watch for pedestrians before proceeding

Please use extra caution and allow additional travel time while crews work to restore power.

Reduce Run Times — Not Just Watering Days
This , we have some helpful info. During Stage 2 drought restrictions, a two-day-per-week watering schedule is required. But this alone will not achieve the needed water savings. Residential customers are only losing two watering days each month, so irrigation run times should also be reduced by about half to better align with the reduced Tier 2 outdoor water budget and help achieve the community's 25% water savings goal.

Have questions or need help figuring out how to stay within your adjusted water budget? Just head to https://crgov.com/Drought, where you'll find recommended irrigation run times for different types of plant material, information on calculating your adjusted Tier 2 outdoor water budget, the complete list of Stage 2 drought regulations and more.

We appreciate the community's support. If you observe water waste, please report it to [email protected] and include the date, time, location and, if possible, a photo.

Long before splash pads, recreation programs and concert series, summer in Castle Rock meant finding ways to enjoy the outdoors. Residents climbed near the Rock, gathered for picnics and explored the area’s familiar landmarks. The entertainment options were a little more limited, sure, but the setting had plenty to offer.

Rock Park took shape gradually, with eight separate parcels acquired between 1947 and 1991. Over time, Castle Rock added more places for people to gather and enjoy the outdoors, including parks, trails, pools and athletic fields. Festival Park’s redevelopment, completed in 2018, created a central Downtown space for recreation, community events and plenty of summer afternoons by the creek. Today, summer might mean a concert, a bike ride, a farmers market or convincing yourself that one more hill on the trail will mean a gorgeous view.

There is still plenty of Castle Rock summer left to enjoy. Find your next outing at CRgov.com/Events.
