• Front Range cities to vote on Colorado Connector rail service (missoulacurrent.com) — Littleton is slated to get a permanent station on the proposed Colorado Connector passenger rail line, and voters in 30 Front Range cities will decide this November on a small sales tax to fund full build-out. Starter service between Fort Collins and Denver is planned by 2029 regardless, but approval would speed a 12-stop route from Pueblo to Fort Collins by 2032, easing I‑25 congestion and expanding travel options. 
• Football Recap: Prospect Ridge Academy Falls to D'evelyn (maxpreps.com) — Littleton High School's football team is set to host D'Evelyn on Thursday at 7:30 p.m., following D'Evelyn's 16–6 win over Prospect Ridge Academy.
