Idea
Possibly add discussion of charging stations.

Kathie Haire Nov 10 2025 at 4:39PM on page 101

Idea
Possibly incorporate wildlife crashes utilizing the DC carcass GIS layer.

Question
OVERALL: If the land use data for each sub area was pulled from the DRCOG model it is not accurate. Much of Douglas County shows little to no growth in the model which makes the data analysis inaccurate.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:50PM on page 142

Idea
Including urban development like the Dawson Trails develop will significantly change key data points, demographics, and all categories in this sub area.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:48PM on page 143

Idea
See comments on the improvement project table for suggested project to add.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:47PM on page 142

Question
Are these growth numbers from the DRCOG travel model? If so it doesn't capture the planned Dawson Trails development which accounts for roughly 5,000 new homes and 2 million square feet of commercial space.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:40PM on page 110

Question
If Founders Pkwy 2050 V/C is LOS C as a 4-lane facility why would it need to be widened to 6-lanes as shown in the improvement table?

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:38PM on page 110

Question
Are these V/C ratios in Castle Rock after the proposed improvements are completed or are the V/C ratios shown without any improvements?

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:30PM on page 42

Idea
suggest adding the US-85 and Meadows Pkwy intersection to the 2041-2050 timeframe to be consistent with the project submitted to DRCOG's RTP.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:28PM on page 39

Idea
Suggest adding Dawson Trails Blvd from Crystal Valley Pkwy to Plum Creek Pkwy in the 2031 to 2040 timeframe.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:25PM on page 38

Idea
Wolfensberger widening from Coachline to Prairie Hawk should be moved up to 2025-2030 timeframe to match the Town's widening timeframe. This creates potential funding partners.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:23PM on page 38

Question
Does the long term V/C ratio for Founders Pkwy take into account widening to 6-lanes?

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:19PM on page 40

Question
Does this section of Wolfensberger really need to be widened to 4-lanes?

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 5:16PM on page 38

Idea
5th street widening project should be moved up to the 2025 - 2030 timeframe to match the Town of Castle Rock's timeframe. This will create a potential funding partner.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:46PM on page 20

Question
I have noticed that the trails in Castle Rock also show all of the dirt single track trails in open space and the sidewalk system in parks. Is it the plan's intention to show these trails?

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:38PM on page 18

Answer
These streets (Foothills and Cherokee) are actually below capacity according to the Castle Rock TMP.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:36PM on page 18

Answer
Castle Rock's TMP shows these section of Castle Oaks Drive below capacity.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:35PM on page 18

Idea
We don't think this section of Copper Cloud is congested as shown on the map. Its likely due to a modeling network error by not including both the Crimson Sky and Rising Sun collector streets or its not coded as 4-lanes in the model. The Town's TMP shows this 4-lane collector below capacity.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:26PM on page 17

Idea
I suggest adding Plum Creek Pkwy from I-25 west to Wolfensberger as a "Major Road (not maintained by DC). Also the Plum Creek Pkwy stretch from Lake Gulch Rd east to Ridge Road. And use the same classification for this section. This is a Major Arterial in Castle Rock.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:21PM on page 17

Idea
I suggest adding 'highways' to the functional classifications. This would be consistent with other transportation documents.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:18PM on page 16

Question
The chart has good data, but its hard to follow. I'm not sure if there is another graphic that could show the data better.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:17PM on page 16

Question
I think Douglas County, including Castle Rock is already facing transportation pressure on regional roads from Elbert County. Residential growth in Elbert has greatly increased over the last decade for a number of reasons.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:09PM on page 16

Idea
Its good to always identify the source.

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 3:00PM on page 12

Idea
It seems that most of the community priorities are new capital projects - e.g. intersection improvements, widening roads, even trail connections. I suggest amending the phrase "over new capital projects."

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 2:55PM on page 12

Question
This is not a very high percentage - was there a higher percentage answer to this survey?

Tom Reiff Nov 5 2025 at 9:36AM on page 7

Is the bike and pedestrian element coordinated with the Parks Dept. off-street multi-use trail plan? Many people within the County and cities use off-street trails as a form of transportation as well as recreation.

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 12:04PM on page 44

low quality type. Consider enhancing

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 12:01PM on page 35

Question
Are these listed in a particular order?

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 11:58AM on page 33

Typo
2030, Doulgas County

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 11:04AM on page 8

Idea
Consider adding a name to these which could help with referencing these sub areas in the tables below (i.e. #14 - west foothills)

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 11:00AM on page 19

Question
This statement seems redundant. Is there another stat that can be placed here. How many crashes were near intersections?

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 10:58AM on page 18

Question
What years are these intersections congested or are they already congested?

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 10:52AM on page 15

Typo
Missing the label
in reply to Heather Kelly's comment

Jim Katzer Oct 30 2025 at 10:48AM on page 8

Answer
Denver Regional Council of Governments. It is the metropolitan planning organization that overlays the Denver Metro area (9 counties) and is required by the federal government for urban areas with a certain population.

Dan Roberts Oct 24 2025 at 1:50PM on page 40

Idea
This section of 105 is a County Highway. The State Highway portion of 105 is only between Hwy 67 and Wolfensberger Road

Dan Roberts Oct 24 2025 at 1:49PM on page 39

Idea
Extend Noe Road paving to Perry Park Road / County Hwy 105

Dan Roberts Oct 24 2025 at 1:48PM on page 39

Idea
Add Pave Best Road. Greenland and Best should both be paved to ensure a solid E/W connection between I025 and Hwy 83. Winter maintenance is challenging and paving both strengthens resiliency of this connection.

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 5:54PM on page 32

Idea
This number should be around $30 million (Pavement Management $17 m, concrete replacement $4 m, Signals / ITS $1.4 m, signal replacement $2 mi, snow $4 m)

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 5:44PM on page 32

Idea
I suggest "The growing list of improvements carried forward from the prior plan indicates that the growing mobility needs…”

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 5:41PM on page 32

Idea
I suggest revising to "being carried forward from"

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 5:39PM on page 31

Idea
This paragraph seems to need additional explanation.

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 5:33PM on page 29

Typo
perhaps should be "projects"?

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 2:51PM on page 29

Typo
Need to clean these two graphics up

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 2:44PM on page 26

Idea
Is this specific project listed as an example, or is this considered the top priority project of this type? It seems like it is an example, perhaps some additional discussion or description needs to be added to clarify this.

Dan Roberts Oct 23 2025 at 2:36PM on page 25

Typo
Need to clean up the table - add comma's where needed
