Littleton Transportation & Mobility Board narrows 2026 work plan to transit, downtown and sidewalks

Members of the Transportation & Mobility Board spent the latter portion of the meeting narrowing their 2026 work program. After a facilitated discussion, the board coalesced around three primary priorities: mass transit (including Front Range Rail coordination and local transit options), downtown project recommendations to guide Main Street design and spending priorities, and accelerated sidewalk improvements and associated funding strategies.

The board discussed several related items — a citywide 20 is Plenty speed study, circulator bus pilots, photo‑radar enforcement, and climate resiliency — but settled on the three topics to focus staff time and board effort so the group can prepare formal recommendations to city council. Board members and staff noted Front Range Rail will likely require an early decision about participation and station siting and therefore was elevated in urgency.

Staff asked board members to coordinate selection of a representative and alternate for the Littleton Boulevard sub‑area plan and to expect opportunities to provide input on the downtown design work slated to begin in the first quarter with consultant selection. The board agreed to schedule focused monthly agendas so the bulk of each meeting can be devoted to the identified priorities while preserving short updates on other items.

Next steps: staff will follow up with proposed meeting topics and schedules for 2026, circulate the selected board representative for the Littleton Boulevard sub‑area plan, and coordinate engagement opportunities tied to the downtown design contract.
