ACTIONS

The TMP applies an approach to planning that focuses on providing a transportation system that works for all users.
In the context of the City of Littleton and the concurrent update to the Comprehensive Plan, this means the plan maps out
a complete network of streets that finds the balance where streets are vibrant, safe, and promote a sense of place while
providing multimodal choices for users of all ages and ability. This systematic approach emphasizes the following major
themes:
• Community: No plan or project can truly be successful without engaging the community. This is about returning
streets to the community and improving a community’s quality of life.
• Choices: The healthiest and most vibrant communities understand that bicycling, walking, and transit are critical
components of the transportation system. A complete system not only addresses safety and mobility concerns, but
also provides encouragement of active living, ultimately improving community health.
• Capacity: Although a multimodal approach can increase the overall person capacity of a roadway corridor, the
impact on auto capacity is often a concern that must be addressed. A toolbox of analysis techniques and operations
strategies to manage roadway capacity has been identified to help balance mobility needs across modes.
• Calming: Plans and designs should create context-appropriate streets that consider the needs of all potential users,
encourage appropriate driving behaviors and speed, and provide welcoming environments for non-motorized users.
• Connections: We know that providing connections between sites, neighborhoods, modes, and jurisdictions is crucial
to maintaining healthy transportation systems and communities. A systematic approach to providing a complete
network can facilitate key connections within the community.
The action plan can be found in the TMP. It includes over $700 million in potential transportation projects, both locally and
regionally significant, in addition to a full list of additional plans, strategies, and partnerships to pursue.
