Comments on: Citizen Minutes – May 9, 2006 http://littletonexaminer.com/12/citizen-minutes-may-9-2006 A News Magazine for the People of Littleton, Colorado Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:03:40 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bill Morgan http://littletonexaminer.com/12/citizen-minutes-may-9-2006/comment-page-1#comment-129 Bill Morgan Wed, 01 Nov 2006 19:28:29 +0000 http://littletonexaminer.com/http:/littletonexaminer.com/12/citizen-minutes-may-9-2006#comment-129 I applaud those in Council who advocate citizen involvement in solving the RTD parking issues. I live about one block away from where commuters park their cars on the street, and can only imagine how frustrating it will be when RTD charges for parking and the displaced commuters are in my front yard. The time to deal with the problem is now - it will be much harder to handle when it gets worse. An important and related issue is overall parking in Littleton. With high density development taking place or being considered, very little attention is given to parking and to traffic management. Now is the time, before we lose what is vital and unique about our community. Saying "it's too hard" is no answer at all, and for wanting to involve the public and address the issues now, I applaud the Council.

Saying “it’s too hard” is no answer at all, and for wanting to involve the public and address the issues now, I applaud the Council.
