City outlines $1.5 million Transportation Master Plan update and asks boards to shape 2026 priorities
Summary
City staff previewed a Transportation Master Plan update to be scoped with City Council on March 10 and budgeted at roughly $1.5 million; the board discussed aligning corridor work with pavement management, exploring a local circulator, accelerating sidewalks/shared-use paths and examining citywide speed policy and enforcement.
City staff told the Transportation Mobility Board that the city is preparing to present a scope of work for a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) update to City Council on March 10, with contracting expected to follow and a likely 18-month delivery timeline once the consultant team is under contract.
Staff said the city27s current planning estimate for the TMP is approximately $1.5 million, reflecting a larger engagement and deliverable set than Littleton27s prior TMP effort. Staff emphasized that a significant portion of the budget would support broader public engagement and stakeholder work to reach residents who do not typically participate in city meetings.
Board members discussed priorities they would like to pursue in 2026, including investigating a local circulator or microtransit option (potentially in coordination with RTD and Arapahoe County), designing mechanisms to accelerate sidewalk repair and shared-use paths, standardizing pilot projects so they can move from demonstration to implementation, and exploring a citywide speed-limit review ("20 is plenty") as well as enforcement tools such as photo radar.
Staff cautioned that sequencing will need to be coordinated with pavement-management and capital projects to take advantage of repaving windows for retrofits, and that funding constraints (an estimated $150 million in unfunded transportation needs cited broadly by staff) will shape which projects can be implemented without additional financing. The board asked staff to return with options and data to inform potential recommendations to Council on funding mechanisms and timing.
No formal decisions or votes were taken; staff committed to ongoing updates to the board as the TMP procurement and schedule solidify.
