About the Study

Elati Street, a north-south corridor in Littleton, spans approximately 2.5 miles, from north of Littleton Boulevard to the High Line Canal, and provides access to three Littleton Public Schools (LPS). The Elati Street Corridor Study is focused on creating an actionable vision and plan to transform Elati Street into a roadway that prioritizes safety and comfort for all users, whether driving, walking, biking, or rolling.

The study will explore strategies to enhance transportation safety along the corridor and at key intersections. It will identify improvements that can be made in the short-term, while also considering funding needs for future design and construction projects.

Background

As part of Littleton’s Safer Streets Program, Elati Street was identified as a priority for safety improvements to enhance the City’s multimodal transportation network. It is primarily residential with many homes on either side of the corridor, multiple schools along the corridor and nearby, as well as multiple trails connecting parks and other nearby destinations.  It has been identified in the City's Transportation Master Plan as a Neighborhood Connector and a pedestrian and bike priority street (p. 125-127).

Schedule

The Elati Street Corridor Study will be conducted throughout 2025 and will include four phases:

  1. Identify Corridor Issues, Needs, and Goals

    An existing conditions assessment paired with public input will provide an understanding of how the corridor functions today, clear needs and issues to address, and what is desired for the future.

  2. Create and Evaluate Alternatives

    Multiple alternatives will be developed and evaluated against feasibility, level of potential improvement, and how well they address the needs.

  3. Develop Quick Implementation Concepts

    Early implementation opportunities will be identified and moved into design and concept development to facilitate meaningful changes in the near term that can also be built on for long-term changes in the corridor.

  4. Final Plan
    A final plan will be developed with an implementation plan identifying next steps and funding opportunities.
