Transportation Mobility Board invites NextGen members to weigh in on Littleton transportation master plan
Summary
Derek Mills, co-chair of Littleton's Transportation Mobility Board, asked NextGen Advisory Board members to coordinate input on the city's transportation master plan. The TMB described safety, bike/pedestrian and transit service as near-term priorities and invited NextGen to attend study sessions and regular meetings.
Derek Mills, co-chair of Littleton's Transportation Mobility Board, attended the NextGen Advisory Board meeting and invited NextGen members to participate in the transportation master plan update and related study sessions.
Mills described the transportation mobility plan as the guiding document for how the city plans for all modes of travel and how it informs engineering standards, development design and project priorities. "The transportation mobility plan is the guiding document that puts together how the city of Littleton looks at its transportation system in every aspect, whether it's ped, bike, car, and everything in between," Mills said.
He asked NextGen members to consider two types of engagement: provide targeted input (for example, questions or position points) that the Transportation Mobility Board (TMB) can respond to, or have NextGen members appear at a TMB meeting or study session to present the board's views. Mills outlined recurring topics the TMB is addressing: safety in areas with recent severe crashes, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and public transit access. He also noted the plan will reflect the city's comprehensive plan and will guide future engineering and design decisions for projects.
NextGen members responded positively and offered a volunteer to attend an upcoming TMB study session. Staff and board members discussed logistics; one NextGen member offered to attend the July study session and report back to the NextGen board in August. Mills said the TMB has scheduled extra study sessions in June and July to gather focused public feedback and urged coordination so citizen boards do not duplicate existing analyses.
No formal interboard agreement was voted at the meeting; the outcome was an agreement in principle to coordinate schedules and to share questions and materials ahead of study sessions. NextGen members were encouraged to send suggested questions to staff so the TMB can incorporate them into study-session agendas.
