Just to clarify, the narrowness of the sidewalks is as much or more of a problem than their heaving.

The streets are much wider than they need to be in many residential parts of Littleton, and the sidewalks should be wider and there should be a grassy median between them and the road. Why did Littleton make the sidewalks so uncomfortable? What is the appropriate venue to discuss solutions to this?

This issue has been resolved and this service request has been closed. We appreciate your assistance with getting this issue addressed!

I understand closing this issue. But where do I lodge a formal request for narrowing the streets in my neighborhood, and installing proper sidewalks, to make it safer and more pleasant? Many thanks!

Thank you for reporting this issue. It has been forwarded to the Public Works Department.

Hi DL: I am very pleased you referenced the article from Dan Burden. I know him very well and have worked with him on several projects in Grand Junction and Shoreline, WA. I certainly agree with your general observations and Mr. Burden's perspective; however, what you request in the short term is very difficult. In my view, we need to start with a larger community discussion about what shapes our quality of life here in Littleton. Mr. Burden has been at my side as those two communities decided to have a similar discussion. I would welcome a conversation if you want to contact me at 303-795-3866.
