How should the City of Littleton address its responsibility to the regional housing crisis?
It’s unbelievable that Columbine Square has sat vacant for so long while other projects have been completed elsewhere in the city. This site is perfect for small lot for-sale patio and paired homes such as those in Belmar. However the proposed projects for Aspen Grove and the Mineral Station locations will bring more commuter traffic through this area. Please implement traffic safety and mitigation strategies. There should be medians along Belleview from Federal to Lowell, and on Lowell from Belleview to Bowles. This stretch of Lowell also needs a buffered/protected bike lane, families and students ride and walk alongside cars that speed 10-20mph over the 30mph limit and use the bike lane for passing. Cars also speed down the center lane to pass other vehicles. Dozens of semi-trailer trucks and construction trucks (concrete mixers, dump trucks, flatbed trucks, gravel trucks) routinely use this route on a daily basis. The bike lane also needs painted markings (green stripes, bike stencils, etc) such as those in Lakewood and Denver. On some days, commuter traffic has backed up from the intersection at Federal and Belleview down Lowell all the way to Bowles. The success of any housing development in the area, and particularly at Columbine Square, will be negatively impacted if the city doesn’t implement significant measures soon.
