Reference: N. Golden Eagle Parkway Right-of-Way Vacation
To: Mayor Gregory Mills and Members of the City Council
Through: Michael P. Martinez, City Manager
Prepared By: Grey Shipman, Associate Planner
Date Prepared: June 4, 2026
PURPOSE
For this right-of-way vacation application, Brighton Crossing LLC (the "Applicant") is requesting that the City vacate approximately 0.495 acres of public right-of-way. The right-of-way runs along the west side of North Golden Eagle Parkway and is generally located between Royal Pine Street (to the north) and East Bridge Street (to the south).
