The Stillwater City Council recently faced a deadlock over the proposed Brixton townhome development, a 108-unit project planned for the southeast corner of Manning Avenue and 80th Street North. The council’s 2-2 vote has temporarily stalled the project, with a special meeting scheduled to revisit the decision.
Community members have expressed concerns regarding increased traffic, school bus maneuverability, and the absence of sidewalks in the area. In response, both council members and the developer have agreed to consider design modifications and additional buffering to address these issues.
The tie vote underscores the council’s division on the project, reflecting the broader community’s mixed feelings about balancing development with maintaining neighborhood character and infrastructure adequacy.
Residents are encouraged to participate in the upcoming special meeting to voice their opinions and stay informed about the project’s progress.
