Neighborhood Traffic Management Program

Volume and speeding problems on residential streets affect the quality of life of the residents and the serenity of the neighborhood. The City Council has adopted a Neighborhood Traffic Management Program to provide to residents a "toolkit" to maintain the neighborhood quality that all citizens should be able to enjoy, free from outside traffic intrusion and excessive speeding.

The toolkit has a three step approach to solve residential neighborhood traffic problems: Education, Enforcement and Engineering. To begin the process, Littleton residents need to contact the city's Public Services Department (303.795-3863) and request a copy of the Traffic Calming Toolkit. They will complete a Request for Neighborhood Traffic Management form, prior to requesting the city implement any elements of steps 1, 2 or 3. The resident will be contacted by the Traffic Engineer to begin the process of conducting traffic studies and implementing step 1 of the program.

The city strives to have a well balanced Neighborhood Traffic Management Program that includes emphasis on education and enforcement, but allows the opportunity for engineering solutions when warranted.
