Project/Study: Broadway Corridor Study
Study Overview: The City of Littleton is leading a study of the Broadway Corridor between I-25 and Highlands Ranch Parkway. This 11-mile stretch of Broadway provides local and regional connections through the City and County of Denver, Arapahoe County, Douglas County, the cities of Englewood, Littleton and Centennial. This project is a joint effort with these agencies to review the transportation and land use conditions along this section of Broadway.
The study will establish a cohesive vision for the corridor’s future and identify improvements to celebrate and connect the unique identities of the surrounding communities, foster economic vibrancy, provide safe and comfortable spaces, and support regional mobility options for all.
Throughout the study, the city of Littleton will provide several additional collaboration opportunities for residents and businesses to share ideas on how to improve the experience along Broadway.
