Residents press council on Castle Creek bridge, Marolt open space and Highway 82 safety
Summary
Public commenters urged the council to follow study processes for Castle Creek/Marolt designs and for broader Highway 82 safety work. Toni Kronberg asked that environmental impact and CDOT findings guide next steps rather than premature ballot measures.
During the citizens comment period, Toni Kronberg urged the council to honor study processes and avoid premature ballot measures related to Castle Creek bridge alternatives and the Marolt open‑space entrance into Aspen. Kronberg said the community needs a pragmatic, evidence‑based solution rather than divisive preemptive campaigns, and stressed that CDOT’s report on Castle Creek will determine feasible options.
Kronberg also recounted campaign priorities on Highway 82 safety such as Smith Hill Road improvements, the Michigan left turn and a potential roundabout, and noted several projects that have progressed including Brush Creek bridge design funding. She described traffic backups and urged continued attention to Highway 82 improvements.
What’s next: council encouraged participation in the entrance to Aspen survey and indicated that CDOT findings and community input will shape next steps as staff and regional partners refine alternatives.
