Littleton residents urge council to remove Mineral Spur Trail paving from upcoming contract
Summary
At a Transportation and Mobility Advisory Board meeting, multiple residents and former city officials urged the city to remove the 16-foot concrete paving portion of the Mineral Spur Trail from an upcoming construction contract, citing weak public engagement and preferences for narrower or mixed-surface alternatives.
Mark Flynk, a Southbridge resident, told the Transportation and Mobility Advisory Board that the Mineral Spur Trail paving was not included in the October 2019 Envision Littleton Transportation Master Plan and said users he surveys did not want a full concrete trail. “If it ain't broke, don't fix it,” Flynk said, describing frequent, mixed use of the existing surface.
Roseanne Stern read written remarks from Steve Lowry and said user polling and informal interviews showed strong opposition to the 16-foot-wide concrete option. “Their first question was nearly always, ‘Why?’” Stern said, summarizing respondents’ reaction. She told the board that “83% of the people responding to the poll” opposed the full concrete design and asked the board to recommend removing the paving portion from the Phase 1 contract before council acts.
