• Bow Mar leaders consider scaled-back gate plan amid pushback from Denver and Littleton (krystal93.com) — Littleton residents could see their access to Bow Mar's neighborhood streets change as that town rethinks a controversial plan to gate several community entrances after objections from both Littleton and Denver. Bow Mar's mayor now favors a single gate farther from Denver's main roads, while Littleton's city manager pushes to preserve through traffic as engineers study revised options.
   

• Paid parking in Olde Town? Arvada dumps plan as busy town centers navigate spot shortages, face pushback (denverpost.com) — Downtown Littleton is highlighted as one of several Colorado cities that still offer free on-street parking, even as places like Arvada and Fort Collins debate or retreat from paid parking plans.
