New Traffic Pattern in Roundabout on Lagae Road and Mira Vista
There's a new configuration in the roundabout at Lagae Road and Mira Vista,
which feeds into American Academy. Please slow down and take your time when driving through it.
Tips for navigating the roundabout:
- Traffic in a roundabout always travels counterclockwise
- Look to the left and yield to drivers already in the roundabout before entering
- Stopping before entering is not required, but you may need to stop and wait for a gap in traffic
- Make sure to stay in your lane as you navigate the roundabout
- Look for pedestrians and use your turn signal before exiting

Protect Your Trees from EAB. Get the App!
To help Colorado property owners determine whether their trees are susceptible to being killed by emerald ash borer (EAB), the Colorado State Forest Service and Colorado State University Extension offer a free app that will allow anyone to use a mobile device to quickly determine whether a tree may be a potential target to the pest.
The EAB/Ash ID App can be downloaded on almost any modern Apple or Android-based device and is easily located in app stores by searching for "ash tree."
The City of Castle Pines does not currently have any reports of the emerald ash borer in the community. This tool is intended to provide property owners resources to determine if their trees might be susceptible to EAB.
