Core City Circulation Plan

The Brighton Core City Circulation Plan aims to make it safer and more comfortable to walk, roll, bike, and take transit along Bridge Street and to access Brighton’s historic downtown. Bridge Street is located along the local and regional High Injury Network. Brighton and DRCOG launched this year-long planning effort to reduce frequency and severity of crashes along the corridor and improve safety for everyone along Bridge Street, no matter how they travel. The project included three phases of community engagement, with the plan recommendations widely supported by members of the community.

The project developed short-, medium-, and long-term recommendations for Bridge Street, which include intersection crossing improvements as well as a vision to create a more multimodal corridor with wider sidepaths, landscaping, pedestrian-scale lighting, and transit improvements. The project team also identified key improvements to crossings, sidewalks, and bikeways in the surrounding half-mile area. Now that the plan has been adopted by City Council, city staff are incorporating priority recommendations into their annual maintenance program.

Vision

Bridge Street will continue to support mobility of the Brighton community, while expanding possible travel options for people to safely access jobs, goods, and services, and inviting people to linger and explore businesses and destinations along the corridor.
