Littleton Citizens for Better Streets
@Littleton4Bikes
Littleton's streets are designed and optimized for cars, not people. We need to encourage other modes of transportation and make better streets that are safe.

I love this bus station in Hawaii. They create a safe space for people with places to sit down and even congregate. Contrast this to some of the worst bus stops in Littleton where there is no place to sit and no space was made for people. #MoreSpaceForHumans

Broadway has a little slice of this, but sadly, a little slice does not enable people to feel safe during their entire trip. We need people to feel safe during their entire trip in order for them to ditch their cars for bikes.

It would reduce car traffic, bring people better health outcomes by active transport, reduce maintenance costs on a significant portion of the road, reduce pollution, enable people to travel cheaply (especially impactful for low income people), and make our city more livable.

Broadway in #Denver could look like this. It would reduce traffic for cars.
Saying we can't build bike lanes because not enough people bike is like saying we shouldn't build a bridge because we don't see enough people swimming across the river.

I want to see this type of reimagined street all over Littleton. Speed bumps are far less effective at slowing people down than narrow roads. We can give more space to kids, the elderly, and the disabled on our sidewalks and make our streets more safe.

@CityofLittleton we have some changes we need to make.

The @CityofLittleton just released a press release outlining the problems they are facing with the budget. These issues are clearly outlined by @clmarohn in his @StrongTowns book. I am worried for the city because of how far off their diagnosis is!

Fantastic video of how to make a great suburb. @CityofLittleton has the potential to be a great suburb like this! Let’s make it happen.

We should make @CityofLittleton the most complete, safe city in all of the United States. That should be our goal. With our various trails we have a great start, but we can make it so much better.

Heading into to City Park. My son says 'I'm safe from cars" as he rides though the barrier. He's 4.5 and already knows...

@DenverFUGLY @JCRiecke This is what I came to say as well. Brighton is the closest I have been in the Denver metro area.

@JCRiecke Brighton Blvd may be the closest Denver has gotten to a full-scale bike ped prioritization - sadly no vision on how to connect it to a usable system, and they totally botched the concrete for the bike lanes.

We should be making our zoning laws so streets like this are possible. Incredibly dense business opportunities that are great for a tax base, family friendly, people come to visit them from all over. Let's get it done @CityofLittleton

We need to make investments in active transportation in @CityofLittleton. I think we should aim to make safe bicycle infrastructure along main corridors to schools first, and Littleton Blvd and Main Street.

“A new cost-benefit study in New Zealand finds that investments in cycling & walking facilities outweigh the costs of building them by 10 to 1. The research found that the most important economic benefits were health gains from use of active transport.” ebikes-international.com/new-study-in-n…

Smaller fire trucks could work. And they would enable us to make roads more narrow.

Someone just posted on my neighbourhood message board that they were very much against #bike lanes but just cycled on the new lanes downtown and now take everything back and are a fan. It's happening people!

I’d love to see a Main Street and Littleton Blvd that looks more like the bicycle and pedestrian focused city block.

Amsterdam’s plan to remove 11,200 parking spaces from its streets by the end of 2025 is even more inspiring when we realize the kind of people places that are possible where cars used to be. Example — #Amsterdam’s Elandsgracht between 2014 & 2019, via @schlijper’s great pics.

🤔:"I wonder why children these days don't play outside anymore like they did in the past..."
Outside (in the past) Outside (these days)

We constantly talk about how kids “these days” need to get less screen time and more outdoor time.
But by building cities for cars, we’ve systematically robbed them of the ability to do so.
A cycling city is a child-friendly city.
