The city of Castrop-Rauxel has undertaken several local infrastructure initiatives. In October 2026, authorities implemented a continuous 30 km/h speed limit on Bahnhofstraße between Hermannstraße and Pallasstraße. This measure was designed to improve safety for students attending local schools, particularly in high-traffic areas near bus and railway connections.

By November 2026, the city and the Emschergenossenschaft progressed with the Emscher-Weg path paving project. This project involves asphalting sections of the long-distance cycling and pedestrian path to improve accessibility and weather resistance. Work includes the completion of various segments and the preparation of base layers for sections currently used for river renaturation, with further surfacing expected in late 2027.
