Road-solutions phasing: council sees plan to finish major pavement projects by 2028
Summary
Staff presented phasing to complete Monarch reconstruction and Castle Pines Parkway median/roundabout work by the end of 2028, splitting Monarch into two construction years to reduce traffic impacts and cone-zone fatigue; council asked staff for cost-savings estimates comparing an accelerated 8-year schedule to earlier 13-year projections.
City staff reviewed the remaining components of the road-solutions plan and said they expect to complete the program by the end of 2028. Staff proposed breaking Monarch reconstruction into two phases (phase 1 in 2027, phase 2 in 2028) to minimize construction cone zones and traffic disruption. The package also includes center-median improvements from Forest Park to the roundabout and improvements to the roundabout itself.
Council members asked whether the city could quantify savings from accelerating the program versus a longer timeline: one councilmember asked for a dollar estimate showing how much would be saved by finishing in eight years rather than a longer 13-year schedule. Staff said they would prepare more detailed phasing diagrams and cost comparisons for the budget discussion and would time major lane closures to avoid impacting school start/end dates where possible.
