COLORADO SITE FIGHT: COUNTING VOTES IN LITTLETON

Littleton voters today will decide whether to block the building of a 24-hour Wal-Mart near a city park.
The results of the mail-in election are expected to be counted tonight.

Last March, a group called Littleton Against Wal-Mart gathered enough signatures — more than 10 percent of registered voters in the city — for a ballot measure asking to reverse the council’s decision to rezone three parcels of land on South Santa Fe Drive for the superstore.

The store would be built next to the South Platte Park, but Kelli Narde, a spokeswoman for the city, said there would be a 20-acre buffer between the store and the park.
