NextGen board sets priorities: monitor Project Downtown finance decision, focus on safer streets and launch an evergreen outreach form
Summary
After the Project Downtown presentation, members of Littleton’s Next Generation Advisory Board discussed prioritizing advisory input on downtown financing and design, tracking safer‑streets projects, and reviving a public feedback survey/QR form to gather ongoing community input.
Board members used the Project Downtown presentation as the basis for quarterly goal planning and agreed on three near‑term priorities: follow the City Council study session on financing and, depending on council direction, develop advisory comment on the project; continue engagement on safer‑streets and complete‑streets initiatives (including outreach and field tours); and revive an evergreen public feedback form or survey to collect ongoing input from younger residents and downtown users.
Members said they would monitor the council study session scheduled for the next Tuesday and provide advisory recommendations afterwards if the council moves forward with COPs or a bond. Board members also discussed coordinating outreach with the Littleton Downtown Development Authority and the Chamber of Commerce and encouraged liaisons to attend Transportation Mobility Board walking tours and other field trips to better understand completed and planned street projects.
On safer streets, members emphasized that protected bike lanes and sidewalk upgrades have generated resident feedback and that the board could play a role reviewing Complete Streets pilot projects; one member suggested attending the Transportation Mobility Board’s walking tour to see installations in the field. The board discussed appointing a point person (or alternate) to receive monthly updates from the Transportation Mobility Board and to relay relevant items to the NextGen membership.
The board also reviewed a previously drafted survey intended for event outreach and QR distribution and asked staff to circulate the draft to members for revision. Members raised governance questions about how survey responses would be stored, reviewed and routed, and requested a working session at the next meeting to finalize the form and related management responsibilities so the tool could persist across board cycles.
Ending: The board scheduled follow‑up: members will monitor the council study session, continue outreach planning with LDDA and the Chamber, evaluate safer‑streets field visits, and review the survey draft ahead of the October meeting (the board’s next scheduled meeting was noted as October 2).
