Keep Castle Pines Connected - Stop the Crowsnest Annexation
We are a group of Castle Pines residents who refuse to let a remote, high-density satellite development drain our resources and change who we are... We oppose the proposed Crowsnest annexation because it would create a remote, disconnected island that would burden existing taxpayers with unsustainable service costs, erode our low-density community identity, fragment wildlife corridors and contradicts the 2021 Comprehensive Plan’s vision for contiguous, thoughtful growth. We advocate for sustainable development that strengthens—rather than strains—our city.
Why this should alarm every taxpayer in Castle Pines:
Financial
Financial
It could turn into a multimillion-dollar annual deficit, forcing existing taxpayers to subsidize the roads, parks, police and services for an isolated island. Forever.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure
We would service a disconnected 750-acre island 3–5 miles from our city core via a single road (Crowfoot Valley Rd.) which could strain police response times, fire coverage, schools and water systems.
Wildlife
Wildlife
It will likely fragment critical wildlife corridors and habitat in Lemon Gulch, replacing a vital natural buffer with high-density housing that disrupts elk, deer, raptor, and prairie dog movement—permanently harming biodiversity and increasing human-wildlife conflicts.
Property Values
Property Values
It could change who we are... from low-density town with open-space charm to a high-density satellite enclave - eroding our premium appeal, flooding the market with sales from denser housing, potentially devaluing our existing properties.
