Prince Street Link Project Coming to Downtown
Construction on the City of Littleton’s Prince Street Link project is expected to begin soon and continue through February 2027. Project timing and traffic controls may change due to weather impacts and other factors.
The project will make safety, accessibility, and multimodal improvements along South Prince Street between West Lake Avenue and West Alamo Avenue, including a significant reconstruction of the South Prince Street and Church Avenue intersection.
While the improvements will provide long-term benefits for people walking, biking, driving, and accessing transit, construction will mean temporary changes to traffic and travel patterns in and around downtown Littleton this fall and winter.
Drivers should expect construction activity, lane and intersection impacts, and possible delays along South Prince Street as work progresses. The timing of the project also means that some impacts will occur during the busy fall and holiday season and continue into the winter. Once construction begins, residents and visitors heading downtown are encouraged to plan ahead.
The Prince Street Link project is designed to improve connections between Downtown Littleton and several important destinations, including Arapahoe Community College, the Colorado Center for the Blind, and the RTD Littleton / Downtown Station.
The project will reconstruct portions of the roadway and sidewalks, install wider and more accessible sidewalks where possible, add ADA-compliant curb ramps and bicycle lanes, and upgrade traffic signal equipment. The signal improvements will provide additional crossing time and improved pedestrian safety.

Littleton’s Safer Streets initiative continues to make progress toward creating more comfortable roadways for all users. During a recent city council presentation, staff shared updates across the program’s core pillars: Resources & Collaboration, Culture Change, Data‑Driven Decision-Making, and People-First Streets. Here are the key takeaways:
The Safer Streets Strategic Plan guides 29 actions across multiple work areas, with the program aiming to be fully integrated into the city’s Project Management Information System. Staff continues to collaborate with regional partners, schools, community organizations, and internal city departments, and a 2025 Report Card tracks progress and key performance indicators.
The Safer Streets Practice Park remains a popular community space, offering free “Learn to Ride” and bike safety classes through a partnership with Bicycle Colorado. The city has also hosted e-bike safety events with Littleton Police Department and South Metro Fire Rescue. Annual events, including Bike to Work Day in June and the upcoming Move to School Day (October 7), continue fostering an educational culture around transportation.
