Pam (resident) said the proposed building envelope at Evergreen sets structures only five feet from the right‑of‑way and that older codes used a 30‑foot setback; she asked whether sight lines for drivers entering a roundabout would be adequate. Tom Grant asked Aaron (public works staff) to respond. Aaron said the right‑of‑way typically includes a road, boulevard and sidewalk before the building setback, and that the buildings in the current plan are set back “quite a ways.” He could not provide a minimum numeric setback off the top of his head and said he would follow up with specific dimensions.

Board follow up: Board members asked staff to confirm minimum sight‑distance dimensions and to report back; Aaron agreed to look into the question and get back to the resident and board with specifics.

Ending: Staff committed to return with measured setbacks and to confirm how the cycle track and roundabout geometry will meet sight‑distance standards.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Transportation & Mobility Board - 2/27/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident warned that buildings set five feet from the right‑of‑way at an Evergreen roundabout would reduce sight lines for drivers and cyclists; staff and board members discussed typical setback layers and agreed staff will follow up with specific dimensions.","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},6628477,"Neighbors object to Runyon Elementary bus routing that would put buses on narrow Meadowbrook Road",389,967000,1356000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48&start=967&end=1356","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48/thumbnail_967000.jpg","/articles/6628477/Littleton-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Neighbors-object-to-Runyon-Elementary-bus-routing-that-would-put-buses-on-narrow-Meadowbrook-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628477-0e9fa6c24642e7acd55e6125f5f7dc7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164557&Signature=B9f9LLaUVKr2pUfIzkDYeULcqW36ffu1iACXKMaqVSmYVkiU86DOx5K0OAkELFkVlyTy1CsLYKBTMaMnlNb1p4NFWuwJYpxUZjRWS7Urb~nIqCBahhNT63UKN78uz4c5npfgHN-58sdkCcnB3E4rrf19kSDtECllp5UIp83xVN2BSKmQ4AxmaTYE7S3SjrmJbsusnYj5BD~YpOV74WghVPm9O2fflwhadjpMQ1IhVj~FuJPDNPsj2wMHnMVHNlQw7Sv0TQaHnYTGJP6D73wkwthh3rVSWaC5mQQA0qKRcQ8u3MYdN0w7Zjplbrx3ygY7V4Gd4joaY-orH~rVA9rmyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A neighborhood representative said the school district plans to reroute Runyon Elementary School buses onto Meadowbrook Road and that the change will increase heavy vehicle traffic on a narrow, residential route.

Dan Radulovich told the board Meadowbrook Road is an “old country road” roughly 18 to 20 feet wide that serves as a sidewalk and bike corridor for the neighborhood. He said the district plans to route buses through the back of the school because they prefer not to use grading/fill to access the south side; he said the design shifts maintenance costs to the city and introduces 10‑ to 20,000‑pound vehicles onto a street that is not engineered for that use. Radulovich said the district’s plan was in its sixth iteration and that construction is planned for the coming July.

Radulovich said the plan would run about eight buses a day; he said neighbors fear the maintenance burden and safety impacts and that some residents felt they were not properly notified during design. Several board members and staff acknowledged the difficulty of the intersection of school routing and city maintenance responsibility; one board member urged staff to ensure neighborhood input and to push the district for mitigation or off‑site improvements.

Ending: Board members asked staff to follow up with the speaker and the school district; staff said they would review the design details and report back.","Residents told the board they oppose a school district plan to route buses onto Meadowbrook Road, which they described as a narrow, unengineered street used by pedestrians and bicyclists; the speaker said eight buses per day would impose maintenance and safety costs on the city.",{"_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},6628482,"Residents of Bradley House and nearby housing urge return of grocery shuttle and crosswalk fixes",377,219000,596000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48&start=219&end=596","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48/thumbnail_219000.jpg","/articles/6628482/Littleton-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Residents-of-Bradley-House-and-nearby-housing-urge-return-of-grocery-shuttle-and-crosswalk-fixes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628482-ef9cd46683f19c4c3b2e55d5470dbbf2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164557&Signature=F8iJq5vAhrNy-87R1LHJmS5rMic98V8bEAPw1~ogYr0kXmAAajCWH1KUin2fzsgRLczcbJ0AEczxr6H1wXjzh9TuawoJwaa6gpM-ym549MYN9UB6O5-fRuQ~FydFgrVZYOoK1Fb52qh~7L2xDYGn5LPn8m2c5ydT19cFQSXw9OhrjWzkQN6VovTt7kjkev55HPi-uoeYoPJjR9VVA898uaQbc9rYwPjPk9ZT-5Jifnt6~CiHqdvjP9iq3Gdwfxx6OhMnP4htDMPhIjhs94m49pCGNDAQjp3yrdDtfgWv32J3zATXANwUlUmNXTUhg4gExcsKmXt3ROcUYRY6W7FH5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Multiple residents of South Metro Housing facilities addressed the board during public comment, urging restoration of a weekly grocery shuttle and improvements to a crosswalk near Bradley House.

Connie Cantrell introduced herself as a Bradley House resident and said she became homeless for a period and recently obtained an apartment at Bradley House; she said she wants to “be part of a solution” and thanked staff for a bus that she had used. Barbara Wisniewski, who said she lives in the sister complex Allison Point, asked specifically for another bus to take residents to the grocery store and said many neighbors use walkers or wheelchairs. Elizabeth Keating said Bradley House residents include seniors and people with disabilities, and she reported that “50% or more from each of those buildings does not drive.” Keating said a weekly free shuttle to King Soopers and Walmart existed before the pandemic and that many residents relied on it.

Crosswalk safety: Several speakers said the crosswalk near Bradley House across Datura needs better marking and trimming of bushes around the sign. Wisniewski said she was previously hit while in a crosswalk and described multiple fractures to her ankle; she asked staff to trim vegetation “to keep the crosswalk better marked and more visible for our drivers.” Cantrell and others thanked staff for informing them about an existing transit pilot and asked the city to reinstate a regular grocery shuttle and crosswalk improvements.

What staff can/said: Staff acknowledged the concerns; board members encouraged follow‑up and suggested coordination with South Metro Housing and communications staff to broaden outreach and encourage resident participation in TMP engagement.

Ending: Residents asked the board and staff to make a priority of restoring low‑cost, regular transit connections for seniors and people with disabilities and to address the crosswalk visibility issue at Bradley House.","Multiple residents of Bradley House and neighboring Allison Point urged the board to restore a weekly shuttle to grocery stores and to improve visibility and trimming at the Bradley House crosswalk; several speakers described mobility and safety needs for seniors, disabled residents and people with visual impairments.",{"_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},6628487,"Board begins scope work for Transportation Master Plan update; asks for clearer priorities and stronger public outreach",2574,4087000,6661000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48&start=4087&end=6661","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48/thumbnail_4087000.jpg","/articles/6628487/Littleton-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Board-begins-scope-work-for-Transportation-Master-Plan-update-asks-for-clearer-priorities-and-stronger-public-outreach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628487-856bcbdfe251a42637a112f2f275cd83/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164557&Signature=BseQXjsnXFYn1l17RYhfMvg-8jyWr2PETodr0fNoCNQ9aQsAsTwt~rymm3mOKema9aWPYqYafA1QhpKq-RwSl~oiO8odlWFLsPv9DEWfl3A0mhQPXNTypkBPjPxdCeiQ540pgoVJgOfxTfhUiVJ1sNNiYWXiSIgbQZfCfnJwE5ZKf0Qk7yPT4GVtmgib0mJYqF4dqRF9sctmLaXs6oEslG4ZmLLZqMcacuW9niBmmLH1496ssygexJxQMOH4r0gAW0eiST6N9RqWNI~T7MYlktN9Daz-vU2ktLYcADLJrIJHly8f3JZC7xWBWB78CTqwtlusEQMUdG3SeHjIS9YpyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members and staff reviewed the role of a Transportation Master Plan (TMP), how Littleton uses the existing TMP in programming and development review, and what a 2025–2026 update should prioritize.

Why it matters: The TMP serves as the city’s long‑range blueprint for transportation projects, policies and street classifications. Staff said an updated TMP will influence grant eligibility, project prioritization in the capital improvement program (CIP) and developer requirements.

What staff said: Derek (Public Works staff) reviewed TMP uses: projecting future travel conditions, guiding project design and providing a defensible justification when asking developers to deliver street improvements. Staff recommended a roughly 18‑month process (like the previous update), with a robust public engagement component and clearer 5/10/15‑year project prioritization to help the city budget and pursue grants.

Board priorities and questions: Members asked that the update explicitly tie TMP recommendations to the CIP (showing which projects are achievable in 5, 10 and 15 years), improve projections and include a detailed funding strategy for local streets, and adopt measurable outcomes (e.g., crash modification factors, congestion projections) so the city can estimate safety and mobility gains.

Public engagement and equity: Board members emphasized reaching people who do not usually attend public meetings — school parents, seniors, apartment tenants and other groups — and suggested targeted outreach, a public comment form, stakeholder working groups and partnerships with local organizations to broaden participation.

Next steps for the board: The board agreed to treat the March meeting as the start of a series of working sessions. Members will propose 4–6 TMP topic areas in advance; staff and two volunteer board members will coordinate outreach and a draft scope of work for the consultant procurement.

Ending: Staff said they will assemble a draft scope of services for the TMP, share examples and the draft strategic plan for Safer Streets, and return with options for public engagement and funding scenarios for board review.","The board discussed what a Transportation Master Plan update should include — timeline, project prioritization, funding strategy and expanded community engagement — and agreed to develop a short list of topic areas for concentrated study sessions ahead of an RFP for a consultant.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6628491,"Littleton staff outline five‑year Safer Streets strategic plan and pilots to slow speeds",1804,2298000,4102000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48&start=2298&end=4102","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2716499-3278326ac66c6c1081d27a6c59594d48/thumbnail_2298000.jpg","/articles/6628491/Littleton-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Littleton-staff-outline-fiveyear-Safer-Streets-strategic-plan-and-pilots-to-slow-speeds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628491-f2f7187eca022ec02f9305518f45d4a2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164557&Signature=HegbqAntFSt22UTGWwwxu3PubEeDrsnSg~aHM90GoOwuhTWo3vqJ2BS~U3W56we-tVX5A1HSO4rW~ULp6ByCKsP2cBUoV~SbGkpKWCEQrgeoRnbvPNOaKzZFChNH~6xpXIRjmm9nnSlVFzwocp1bbABx4IVcUZAmTVRw0zixnDRj3x5BMqs0bJ6-nH5-FrjlQZtWwu2KOLWzLqYIxaaS5RVd~QpHl~m~u7y3NoQea11U~gMJ2TcJJo~8OT7ERdOmoGKY3MEIz9CtF6b9oo0TumWQS1kZnYrn9g-C9o-GoihvAcOhgwL~eqQfqrWEmu7zbKruADBWsSZBar8FsPgS9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Public works staff presented a draft five‑year strategic plan for the Safer Streets program and outlined work to turn short‑term pilot projects into longer‑term, funded changes.

The plan is intended as an internal program‑management framework, staff said, with a vision of “people‑first” streets, four goal areas (people‑for‑streets, culture change, data‑driven decision making, and collaboration/resources) and key performance indicators to produce an annual report card. Stuart (Safer Streets staff) told the board the draft plan is being finalized and staff hopes to have a completed document “sometime in March.”

Why it matters: Board members and staff said the initiative aims to move Littleton from ad hoc pilot projects toward a sustained, accountable program. Several members urged staff to attach clearer 5‑, 10‑ and 15‑year project prioritizations and a funding strategy so the city can show what it intends to deliver and when.

What staff described: Stuart said the strategic plan is “really meant for program management” and will list strategies, actions, lead and supporting partners, timing and metrics. He said staff developed the plan with a consultant and seven stakeholder groups and that the plan will emphasize pilot projects and “quick builds” to test treatments before investing in permanent infrastructure. The draft includes KPI tracking and an annual report.

Board questions and concerns: Board members repeatedly pressed staff on funding and enforcement. One member noted that some projects require ongoing staffing or police enforcement to be effective and asked how Safer Streets will compete with other capital priorities such as park or service center work. Staff acknowledged grant funding has been used heavily and said the program needs a “detailed funding strategy” and work to identify city and grant sources.

Pilot projects and design tradeoffs: Staff described pilot projects that have reduced measured vehicle speeds but drawn mixed public feedback because they produced visual clutter. Aaron (public works staff) and Jeremy (operations staff) said staff is evaluating alternatives — for example modular medians instead of many small posts — to preserve safety benefits while reducing confusion. Emily (behavior‑change staff) said the program will combine engineering, education and enforcement.

Implementation and next steps: Staff said plan tracking will include a working spreadsheet of strategies and a 2025 work plan with specific actions. The board asked to see the final strategic plan and the tracking tool; staff committed to share the finalized plan and the spreadsheet once internal reviews are complete.

Board involvement: Several board members asked to be more engaged in prioritizing projects and suggested the board receive periodic briefings on the plan’s implementation and funding requests to council. Staff said the Safer Streets plan will be rolled into the broader Transportation Master Plan process as appropriate.

Ending: Staff described the plan as an operational tool to coordinate infrastructure pilots, data collection and community outreach. Board members asked staff to translate the plan into a prioritized short‑term project list and funding ask that can be tracked against the plan’s KPIs.","Public works staff presented a draft five‑year strategic plan for the Safer Streets program, describing goals, pilot projects and performance measures; board members pressed for clearer funding, enforcement roles and ways to reduce visual clutter in quick‑build traffic calming.","actionData","errors"]
