Castle Pines advances 2026 plan update and Parkway reconstruction
Castle Pines approved a plan update, a Parkway construction change order and a new Coyote Ridge Park contract, while annexation policy returns July 28.
Castle Pines City Council approved a professional services agreement with Logan Simpson Design Inc. for the 2026 Comprehensive Plan update during its July 14 hybrid meeting at the renovated Castle Pines Community Center, 7404 Yorkshire Drive. The meeting began with a 5:30 p.m. study session and a 6:30 p.m. regular session.
Council held a study session on a draft Annexation Policy document and scheduled another session for July 28 at 5:30 p.m. The city is not currently considering any annexation applications, but wants a policy in place before future requests come forward. That work follows the March 24 decision accepting the withdrawal of the Crowsnest annexation petition, imposing a stay on future annexation applications for at least 120 days and directing staff to begin a policy process with public engagement. Residents provided input through a survey open through June 14, and a draft policy was online beginning July 6.
Council approved a change order for the Castle Pines Parkway westbound reconstruction project, which began June 1 and includes a complete reconstruction of the roadway plus replacement of the water line and related water infrastructure by Castle Pines North Metropolitan District. HEI Civil Shared Services, LLC won the original contract in a not-to-exceed amount of $3,805,525.90, based on eight timely bids the city received in March 2026.
Council awarded Colorado Designscapes, Inc. the contract for Phase 1 improvements at Coyote Ridge Park, a project first approved Nov. 12, 2024 after a 2024-2025 public engagement process. A January 2026 presentation put the budget at $3,997,217 and outlined accessibility upgrades, playground improvements, fencing, a new baseball field, vault toilets, bike racks, a plaza and other site work. Council also approved an amendment to the lease agreement with Castle Pines North Metropolitan District for the Castle Pines Community Center, where renovations approved in February 2026 include lighting, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and interior-space improvements expected to finish this summer. A separate change order also affected the city’s 2026 Pavement Maintenance Program, which council had awarded to Schmidt Construction Company on March 24.
