BACKGROUND/HISTORY
A comprehensive Transportation Master Plan was originally formulated and adopted in 2016 by the City Council. Since the adoption of the 2016 plan, there have been several influences that resulted in a need to review and update the existing plan. As part of the revision process, a public meeting, interactive map, and internal cross-departmental review were conducted.
Over the time that has elapsed, the Land Use Development Code, Brighton Bicycle, Pedestrian, Multi-modal Plan, and Vision Zero have been modified or developed, along with Municipal Code amendments for planning and transportation. The revision of the Transportation Master Plan evaluated the current plan, provided additional options for roadway sections, defined priorities for transportation, added requirements for traffic calming, and updated the overall report. The plan modifications provide congruity with other plans, guiding documents, and transportation strategies.
Some key revisions were as follows:
* Emphasized Transportation Goals
