Brighton plans park turnover and development of 102 new townhome units

The Brighton City Council meeting on May 6, 2025, highlighted significant developments in local parks and housing projects. City officials expressed enthusiasm about transferring park management to the parks department, anticipated to occur in June or July. This transition aims to enhance community green spaces, which include various recreational facilities for the 1,700 residents of Brighton.

The council discussed ongoing revitalization efforts for neighborhood parks, some of which have been in place for over 20 years. The Metro District is exploring ways to refresh these parks without completely repurposing them, ensuring they remain vibrant and accessible for residents.

Additionally, the council reviewed plans for new housing developments in Brighton Crossing. A proposal for 102 single-family townhome units was presented, which will feature privately maintained roads and alleys. City officials noted that the necessary infrastructure is already in place, allowing for a smooth integration of these new homes into the existing community framework.

Overall, the meeting underscored Brighton's commitment to enhancing both its recreational spaces and housing options, aiming to improve the quality of life for its residents.
