Project Downtown Moves into Design Phase

Project Downtown, a long-term initiative to reinvest in Downtown Littleton’s infrastructure and public spaces, is moving forward with Phase 1: Main Street Improvements.

The Main Street Improvements will modernize downtown infrastructure while preserving the area’s historic charm — addressing deferred maintenance, restoring trees and additional green infrastructure, enhancing safety, walkability, accessibility and the overall experience for residents, visitors and businesses alike.

The city is currently soliciting professional design services for the project. Design work is expected to begin this spring, following the selection of a consultant.

The Project Downtown Concept Plan will serve as the foundation for design, providing a shared vision shaped by prior community input.

During the design phase, the city will refine:

• Technical and engineering details
• Phasing and construction approaches
• Cost and schedule considerations
• Strategies to maintain access to downtown businesses and the area throughout construction

This phase is critical for balancing long-term improvements with the day-to-day needs of residents, visitors, and local businesses.
