Cantrell said she has lived in Littleton “for 72 years” and that “the bus, the shuttle bus is so important.” She described repeated difficulties getting group rides and said arranging door-to-door service requires calling seven days in advance.

A second resident, Barbara Wisniewski, said she and others had filed an online traffic-calming request about the crosswalk in front of Bradley House and asked the board what to expect next.

A city transportation staff member said the city has “a big backlog” of requests but that an intern is working through them and residents should receive responses “in the next couple months.” The staff member said Datura Street and the crosswalk near Bradley House are on a pilot list for temporary curb extensions and additional signage and that those measures “should be installed sometime this fall.”

Board members and staff also told the meeting that the city is close to getting approval and funding for an Arapahoe County–wide transit and micromobility study, with a kickoff scheduled the week after the board meeting. Board members said the study could inform “last mile” solutions for seniors and people with disabilities and help the city evaluate options beyond RTD service.

The residents who spoke urged continued enforcement against vehicles that block sight lines near the crosswalk; the staff member said the city is coordinating with police to increase ticketing in the area.

The board did not take a formal vote on this item during the meeting. Staff said they would update the board once the pilot curb extensions are scheduled and when the county study moves from kickoff to a public-engagement phase.

Community members who raised the issue framed it as both an immediate safety problem—requiring curb extensions and enforcement—and as part of longer-term transit planning for seniors and people with disabilities.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Transportation & Mobility Board - 7/24/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Residents urged the Transportation and Mobility Board to speed permanent safety and transit access near Bradley House; staff said the Datura crosswalk is on a pilot list for curb extensions and signage this fall and that an Arapahoe County transit and micromobility study is about to start.","taxTitle","Littleton City, Arapahoe County, Colorado","taxId",52180,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6457971,"City rolls out pilot protected bike lanes but board urges TMP update and clearer prioritization",208,7068000,7276000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824520-6a4edb1782a172c2274b6d7a3330662d&start=7068&end=7276","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824520-6a4edb1782a172c2274b6d7a3330662d/thumbnail_7068000.jpg","/articles/6457971/Littleton-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/City-rolls-out-pilot-protected-bike-lanes-but-board-urges-TMP-update-and-clearer-prioritization","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6457971-448f1b4ba03c596f2256f9241fd9284e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771123194&Signature=KkKKDZrYUNGCGF0f9aNkVyBcvH8iNl3CkCDQBaYCoTMCaYi-UjUKN4~uN4gp3k1VGl3tYQmwWfLGZIATCZgSSWTHPRheJHd9qEhJTPLhYslXzH541DrlE1P-mLOli~C~pXJnN9Xg23fYWs3AXWBaiY2AlTW0nqwnuEF0Wd86mR4sxes33eIZApfvHdqMKMH4-xA-v4OH30bTat0u1Za11I5vZw-Yk8jNFEbVeS9GKJfNq2sttIYmE3n2PjKPo9ReyuEABhyDOdYfuyy3dZBIscv5u4mklBwFowpoXqsqIxZxYMndazlG~pwoMp4Jh4Zfodl2I-HauX~8hlUd2Wa6mA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Transportation staff told the board on July 24 that the city is implementing a Safer Streets pilot that will add temporary and semi-permanent protection to several bike corridors this year and next.

A staff speaker said the pilot program favors “low-hanging fruit” corridors where painted bike lanes and available right-of-way let the city add buffers and delineators with minimal impact to on-street parking. The staff member said the city is installing protective elements on corridors including portions of Windermere, Bellevue, Phillips and Pennsylvania, and that paint and delineator choices were adjusted to avoid wasting funds when repaving is imminent.

Board members pushed back on how corridors were selected. One board member said only “one and a half” of the first set of projects were on the TMP’s existing bike-priority map and asked that future installations be evaluated against a clearer priority list. The member and others asked staff to weight TMP priorities and a high-injury network more heavily when deciding where to install protections next.

Staff acknowledged “lessons learned” from the first year of safer-streets work and said a TMP update would help reconcile differences between projects already underway and a longer-term network plan. Staff also explained coordination challenges: utility and drainage work, pavement-management schedules and right-of-way constraints sometimes require staged or incremental project approaches.

Board members asked for clearer performance and phasing plans, and requested that future protected-bike-lane projects be routed to align with the TMP, connectivity priorities and community-engagement processes so neighborhoods understand trade-offs such as reduced on-street parking.

No formal board action was taken; staff said they are preparing a memo to the city manager’s office describing workload, resource needs and a proposed TMP schedule to clarify procurement, funding and sequencing of multimodal projects.","City staff described a Safer Streets rollout of several pilot protected-bike-lane projects; board members said corridor selection did not align clearly with the existing TMP bike-priority map and urged a full Transportation Master Plan update to set priorities, funding and coordination frameworks.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6457976,"Littleton businesses cite parking, congestion and construction as top transportation concerns; city economic development office outlines growth priorities",141,1954000,2095000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824520-6a4edb1782a172c2274b6d7a3330662d&start=1954&end=2095","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824520-6a4edb1782a172c2274b6d7a3330662d/thumbnail_1954000.jpg","/articles/6457976/Littleton-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Littleton-businesses-cite-parking-congestion-and-construction-as-top-transportation-concerns-city-economic-development-office-outlines-growth-priorities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6457976-e3ec6d8169be38793a3e49a0488fc179/orig.mp4?Expires=1771123194&Signature=QEn0aqRg05IxZikllXqTXTH6zPmbkWGjHnp6QqoYwwb1cDQ95dnoK5E2Xfqs4tDBRrYbQw7EbVMhxjt--3SmrSDQzTRAhTXV40eelTflOI8g5Br1CE-RiAtl8LdNdvNzTUL4D1LjiulZM5B9~58LvEdq9sJBO~L8X9wiY5d3cjn8~oXDI-7YUliTecYVf3QZ1HAWE9WtBShBUFAgyX7ry4EEKM5kvy5Mqom65YAM8FaZ8OvgxZPkfbGgGTibaDhs-0Fd4yRO9bXpf8UIF7TCtpCSq2ES2DMdEz5mHZvC2D4IDQSib1KxDgymKwrt8QjQvvGvPk9~aCA8gnyon7~qgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bridget King, the City of Littleton’s economic development director, and Corey Landauk, executive director of the Littleton Business Chamber, briefed the Transportation and Mobility Board on July 24 about outreach to businesses and how mobility affects commerce.

“I sent [the survey] out to over 200 business owners. We had 53 respond,” Landauk said, summarizing the chamber’s outreach. The respondents were mostly small businesses in retail, restaurants and professional services, he said.

Survey respondents identified lack of customer parking, traffic congestion (especially on Main Street and South Santa Fe) and maintenance or construction impacts as top problems affecting operations. Several commenters said customers avoid downtown when they expect parking will be difficult; others described employees being late because of construction-related detours.

King described how economic development work ties to transportation planning. She said the city focuses on “attraction, retention and expansion” of businesses, small-business support, incentives governed by state rules, long-range fiscal planning and regional partnerships. King noted Littleton’s reliance on sales tax for city revenue and said redevelopment decisions must balance historic character, visitor amenities and transportation access.

Chamber members and board members discussed downtown parking trade-offs and possible approaches such as pricing, circulator/“last-mile” services and clearer communication about construction schedules. Chamber members said some businesses prefer on-street parking immediately in front of stores; others supported better pedestrian and transit connections if customers know what to expect.

Landauk and King also described ongoing and planned development projects — including mineral-area redevelopment and a large distribution facility — and said the city and businesses are coordinating on traffic, security and construction impacts. Hotel demand generated by tournaments and events was cited as a source of lodging tax revenue.

Board members asked the presenters for more data about downtown parking utilization and suggested the transportation board and economic development staff maintain periodic exchanges so planned infrastructure and development work are synchronized with business needs. No formal vote was taken.","The Littleton Business Chamber presented results of a survey of local businesses to the Transportation and Mobility Board; chamber and city economic development staff said parking and construction delays are primary concerns and described how economic strategy, incentives and redevelopment projects factor into transportation planning.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6457981,"NextGen advisory board seeks closer collaboration on Transportation Master Plan and youth outreach",360,725000,1085000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824520-6a4edb1782a172c2274b6d7a3330662d&start=725&end=1085","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824520-6a4edb1782a172c2274b6d7a3330662d/thumbnail_725000.jpg","/articles/6457981/Littleton-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/NextGen-advisory-board-seeks-closer-collaboration-on-Transportation-Master-Plan-and-youth-outreach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6457981-2c06870e557ef81e6f926620a777241e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771123194&Signature=GubrJJyzvH3ICgNmQodpNhGyj3Jyv5hq7FzkXIkWJobiZ5UWQAjwr-1UARJx5WKRWGLYN4QVvDZTt5vwlsYuUPaC1AK5E-VeDJ1EmwVZvP7AewHwWOsT2gUttftkzAoTqutLXp8HTGUlxMTvWVyX~kjXJ5tKXCxOXL4iRSHNP5clXVVR13jr3Z6~WzDBEnFujRlNuzysXBQlPzSuwn3aoJdEnR82Ads8yp9QQlTVzv15iVKe2TVJWkg2GoN6iNsu6G5C8Nr6EczHH2cmfUNLExPwSr9ff0Jg7DHciAaKEEYAtgNJ1f1JcRBhX2~vOGy~pmdxcuUKTswagMwuJtR4cA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bobby Thomas, introduced as a guest from the NextGen advisory board, told the Transportation and Mobility Board on July 24 that NextGen members want closer coordination as the city updates the Transportation Master Plan.

“NextGen board is 7 people. Really the only requirement being under the age of 35,” Thomas said, describing the board’s charge to advise City Council and to connect younger residents to city work. He said NextGen has been focusing on environment and the South Metro waste-disposal plan, and is interested in economic development, safety, and housing discussions.

Derek, a Transportation and Mobility Board member, said the board would like to share meeting agendas three to six months in advance so NextGen can identify items where the groups overlap and attend or offer input. Derek said the transportation board wants to surface safety, multimodal planning and “last-mile” transit issues where NextGen perspectives can add value.

NextGen members and city staff discussed concrete collaboration items: sharing the city’s public survey link for the Transportation Master Plan, coordinating outreach to ACC students and other younger residents, and reviewing memos and reports in draft to provide feedback. A city staff member said the board’s upcoming public survey is useful and recommended staff circulate it widely.

Board members agreed there can be multiple forms of engagement, from staff reports to joint sessions. No formal motion or vote was taken; participants asked staff to follow up on sharing agendas, survey links and possible joint meeting dates.

The discussion identified the Transportation Master Plan update as a priority piece of work for possible NextGen involvement and requested that staff keep both boards informed as procurement and scheduling for the TMP progress.","The NextGen advisory board told Littleton’s Transportation and Mobility Board it wants to work with staff on the Transportation Master Plan update and to broaden outreach to younger residents; both bodies discussed data collection, sharing agendas and possible joint meetings.","actionData","errors"]
