2024 Neighborhood Pavement Maintenance Program begins July 8
Each year, the City begins a refresh of neighborhood streets that helps extend the life of roadway infrastructure throughout Castle Pines. This effort, known as the Pavement Maintenance Program, is a strategic, proactive approach to extending the lifespan of roadways while minimizing the cost of maintaining road surfaces.
In 2024, work will focus on residential streets, primarily in the northern portion of the city. Improvements include replacing curbs and gutters, repairing sidewalks, repairing concrete pavement and asphalt, and more.
Learn more about the program by visiting the project webpage. An interactive map is available to view specific streets that are scheduled for work this year.

(Castle Rock, CO) As Independence Day approaches, it is essential to know how one can celebrate the holiday safely. It is also crucial to understand the legal ramifications regarding the use of fireworks.
Each year, the careless use of fireworks contributes to personal injuries and significant financial losses to property owners, insurance companies, and the community. The use of illegal fireworks could also result in criminal charges such as Arson, Criminal Mischief, Reckless Endangerment, and civil penalties for damages caused by the illegal fireworks.
Fireworks that explode or leave the ground are always illegal in Colorado. The use of illegal fireworks in unincorporated county areas, the City of Castle Pines, and the Town of Larkspur can be punishable with fines from $50 to a maximum of $750.00 and/or up to six months imprisonment.
For those who live in incorporated Douglas County, please visit your city’s website for policies on fireworks.
But it is more than just an issue of what is legal or illegal. The night of the Fourth, as well as several nights leading up to it, always comes with a huge increase in the calls for service relating to fireworks complaints.
Every year our dispatch center is inundated with calls from citizens reporting that they hear fireworks going off somewhere in their neighborhood. This severely impacts our call system and could affect our response to other calls for service.
We also ask our residents not to hold celebrations in the street. This is a safety issue that could delay emergency response if needed.
Please help us, so we can properly help our community.
We have established a Fireworks Hotline to report the use of illegal fireworks. This means you are seeing someone set off illegal fireworks, not just hearing them in your neighborhood. We need to know the exact address where they are being used.
The hotline, 303-814-7118, will be active July 3rd – 6th, 6:00 p.m. until midnight. Please use the non-emergency number, 303-660-7500, outside those dates and times.
Please DO NOT call 9-1-1 to report the use of fireworks unless there is an injury or an actual fire.
Again, please do not call to report the sound of fireworks, only use the hotline if you see someone using the illegal fireworks.
We recommend that you celebrate the holiday by watching professional fireworks shows to avoid accidents and legal consequences.

"Slash" is debris, from nature, such as tree limbs, prunings, and pine needles. If not removed, slash can increase potential fire hazards on your property. Removing slash, and creating defensible space around your home, is the first line of defense against wildfires. To help you mitigate wildfire danger on your property, the City of Castle Pines is hosting a free slash collection event. Bring any tree limbs, prunings, pine needles, or other yard debris to Elk Ridge Park for free disposal on Saturday, September 14, from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. as a part of the City's slash collection event.
If not removed, slash can add to potential fire hazards on your property. Mitigating and preparing your property for wildfire is important. All vegetation is allowed. Please limit the diameter of trunks or limbs to less than 16 inches. No lumber is allowed, and please ensure there is no metal (nails, screws, etc.) or rocks in the materials you drop off.
