Littleton city leaders outline ambitious capital improvement plan for summer 2025

Littleton City Council is gearing up for a transformative summer, with a record investment in capital projects and maintenance set to reshape the community. During the recent council meeting, city officials highlighted key components of the capital improvement plan, emphasizing a significant increase in funding aimed at enhancing infrastructure.

City Manager noted that this year marks a pivotal moment for Littleton, with a focus on transparency and public engagement. "We want to really be telling this story with the public," he stated, as the communications team prepares to share updates across various channels. This initiative aims to inform residents about how the capital sales tax is being utilized for community improvements.

Public Works Director Brent Satterland and City Engineer Kimberly Doll presented an overview of the capital projects, which encompass nearly 20 categories, including transportation, parks, and drainage. They emphasized the importance of a cohesive approach to these projects, particularly in transportation and pavement management.

A standout statistic revealed during the meeting was the dramatic increase in average annual capital investment. Before the introduction of the 3A funds, Littleton averaged approximately $14.7 million per year. With the new funding, that figure has skyrocketed to an average of $47.5 million, representing a 300% increase. This surge in investment will allow the city to address community priorities and maintain essential infrastructure.

As the city prepares for a busy construction season, officials are committed to keeping residents informed and engaged in the ongoing developments that will shape Littleton's future.
