5/16/14 - A new instructional academy aims to give new bike owners an edge on how to safely ride motorcycles. A project to expand the Brighton Harley Davidson and construct a new rider training academy will be moving in two phases following a recent meeting of the Brighton Township Planning Commission. All of the necessary approvals have already been granted including site plans for an expansion of the existing facility on Whitmore Lake Road and the new riding academy called Riders Edge. A bond has already been posted for the entire project but an inspection escrow and other fees must be paid up front before work on the training facility and landscaping can begin. The biggest reason for the delay with the building expansion is disagreements over some of the charges associated with connecting to the municipal water system but discussions are continuing at the township level. A representative for Brighton Harley explained that the business is currently served by a private well but must hook into the municipal water system as part of the addition and expansion. It was also noted during the meeting that the dealership site is located in both Brighton and Green Oak Townships, but officials in the latter would be comfortable with whatever decision was made about phasing. Complete details about the new riding program can be found through the link below.
