The Downtown Plan of this Master Plan expands upon many of these ideas. The East Grand River Corridor Study from 2004 provided a plan for improvement for East Grand River. The plan includes existing land uses, traffic analysis, design goals, strategies for accomplishment, and an implementation plan. The Complete Streets Plan of this Master Plan builds upon this study. The Brighton Downtown Development Authority Standard Streetscape Details Reference Manual from 2006 provides design guidelines for downtown Brighton. The Downtown Plan of this Master Plan expands upon many of these ideas. The City of Brighton Parking Study from 2011 was created to address some of the parking concerns in the downtown area, offering guidance to improve parking for users. Parking remains an important topic in the city, and is addressed in the Downtown Plan of this Master Plan. The City of Brighton Occupancy Study of 2015 examined the capacity for employee parking in the downtown area. The Downtown Plan of this Master Plan addresses this issue in the context of potential future development.. The Downtown Brighton Vision and Strategic Marketing Plan from 2017 is a tactical plan to build upon Brighton’s strong downtown setting through marketing. The Plan includes a SWOT (Strengths-Weakness- Opportunities-Threats) grouping of identified Downtown characteristics, demographic and community spending information, and specific goals for branding, business development, tourism, events, the built environment and transportation. Core values of the community were identified as “integrity”, “open-minded” and “trustworthy” and an action plan was created to indicate how best to continue to innovate Downtown while maintaining its small town charm. This action plan includes a list of strategies, objectives, and timed and assigned tasks addressing each of the specific goals for Downtown. Lastly, the Plan is considered a beginning point for a marketing professional to develop a comprehensive strategy for marketing Downtown going forward, including a new brand ID, supporting materials and promotions towards an eventual strategic marketing plan. The Downtown Plan of this Master Plan continues to support such concepts. BRIGHTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4 The City of Brighton first began as a settlement in 1832, along the newly improved Grand River Avenue (formerly the Grand River Trail, an important Native American footpath), which was the fastest route from Detroit to Grand Rapids. This settlement quickly rooted itself as a flourishing town, supporting residents, commercial enterprises, and farming. As the community grew, it was incorporated as the Village of Brighton in 1867. Construction and completion of the Detroit, Howell, and Lansing Railroad (now CSX International) in the 1870s brought an influx of residents and businesses, and launched industrial development in the area. By the 1920s as automobile usage and affordability rose, and vehicular access was improved, resorts were established near Brighton, taking advantage of the scenic natural resources in this area, including forests and lakes. The village incorporated as a city in 1928.
