Residents urge Arapahoe County to deny or re-review open-space road projects in Littleton and Copperleaf
Summary
Speakers at the June 10 Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners meeting urged the board to block or re-evaluate Littleton’s Jackass Gulch paving project and the Bellevue Extension through Copperleaf open space, citing lack of community support and potential harm to natural areas.
At the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners business meeting on June 10, 2025, multiple residents urged commissioners to deny or re-review planned roadway and paving projects that would use county open-space funds or cross county-held open space.
Mark Flink, a 35‑year resident of the Southbridge section of Littleton, told the board that Littleton is seeking $562,500 in Arapahoe County open‑space funds to build a 16‑foot‑wide concrete road through Jackass Gulch. He said Littleton’s application and subsequent materials misrepresented public support for the project and asked the board to refer any request for a time-extension or funding disbursement back to the county open‑space advisory board for reconsideration.
