The Littleton City Council convened on May 20, 2025, to discuss several key initiatives, including the approval of a construction contract for a fiber optics installation project and the renovation of the Littleton Museum's history gallery.
One of the primary agenda items was the approval of a construction contract with TTAK Broadband LLC for the installation of fiber optics along Little Lisonbee Boulevard. This project aims to enhance traffic operations in the city, reflecting ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and connectivity.
Additionally, the council addressed the appointments to the Charter Review Committee for the 2025-2026 term. The mayor noted that two candidates had withdrawn from consideration, allowing for the selection of two new members without requiring further council approval.
A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the presentation of a resolution approving a contract with Studio Tectonic LLC for the design and expansion of the history gallery at the Littleton Museum. This marks the first major renovation of the gallery in 22 years. Museum Director Tim Nims outlined the project's timeline, which includes community engagement efforts that began in 2022 and will continue through the design and construction phases, with a tentative reopening planned for late 2027.
The renovation aims to modernize the gallery while incorporating both traditional and underrepresented histories of the Littleton community. The design will feature interactive elements and thematic nodes to engage visitors and enhance their understanding of local history. The project is supported by a combination of museum impact fees and a grant from a local funder.
In conclusion, the council's decisions reflect a commitment to improving city infrastructure and preserving local history through thoughtful community engagement and modern design practices. The upcoming renovations at the Littleton Museum are expected to enrich the cultural landscape of the city and provide a more inclusive narrative of its history.
