📰 News we're reading

• Littleton's $21.4M Santa Fe-Mineral Overhaul Hits Halfway Point, Kills Left Turns (newsbreak.com) — Drivers in Littleton face big changes as the $21.4 million Santa Fe and Mineral overhaul reaches its halfway point and prepares to permanently remove all left turns at the city's busiest intersection. Traffic will be rerouted via a new quadrant road and roundabout system, funded partly by a local sales tax increase, with completion expected in 2027 and travel times projected to drop significantly.
   

• Ex-Littleton Teacher, 53, Nabbed in Online Sting, Police Fear More Victims (newsbreak.com) — Littleton residents are being asked to contact local police if they have concerns about former Littleton Public Schools teacher and coach Adam Williams, now charged in an online child exploitation sting based out of Fort Collins. The district detailed his long tenure at Options Secondary and Littleton High School, noted a prior uncharged 2025 investigation, and emphasized that alleged criminal conduct did not occur on district property.
   

• Colorado Voters to Decide Front Range Passenger Rail Tax Measure 7A (denvergazette.com) — Littleton could eventually gain a new passenger rail stop if voters across the Front Range approve sales tax measure 7A this November to fund expanded rail service from Fort Collins to Pueblo. The plan would start with Denver–Fort Collins trains, then add Denver–Pueblo trips stopping in Littleton, while returning some funds to station cities and sparking debate over cost, demand, and a permanent tax.
