About the Study

Broadway Corridor Study fact sheet(PDF, 590KB)

Broadway between I-25 and Highlands Ranch Parkway is a vibrant corridor where people live, work, eat, and shop. This 11-mile stretch of Broadway provides local and regional connections through the City and County of Denver, Arapahoe County, cities of Englewood, Littleton, and Centennial, and Douglas County. The City of Littleton is partnering with these agencies to study the transportation and land use conditions along this section of Broadway. This study is separate from and will be coordinated with Denver’s South Broadway & I-25 Improvement Project.

Draft Vision

Broadway will celebrate and connect the unique identities of our communities, foster economic vibrancy, provide safe and comfortable spaces, and support regional mobility options for all.

Process

The study will examine existing conditions and future conditions for the different character areas along the corridor. Key considerations include transportation, land use, and economics. Each of these factors will be considered at each stage of the plan process, and the coordination between them will be important for the success of this study and the future of the Broadway corridor.

The study will include development and evaluation of alternatives based on a consideration of existing and future conditions, roadway geometry, residential and business access, traffic flow, environmental factors, the location of communities and other developed areas, and community and agency plans and input. 

The study will consist of four phases:

  1. Corridor Conditions Assessment: The study team will collect data and study corridor conditions, especially its role for people living and working along the corridor. 
  2. Corridor Visioning: The study team will generate a cohesive vision for the corridor and establish the goals and objectives for changes along it.
  3. Improvement Plan: The study team will generate ideas to achieve the vision and goals for the corridor through physical infrastructure enhancements, policy changes, or other strategies to catalyze improvements.
  4. Conceptual Design and/or Early Actions: The study team will further develop the best ideas and create conceptual designs for them, or even begin implementation.

Draft Study Goals

The following goals represent the desired outcomes for the proposed improvements to the corridor.
