Wedge Expansion

In early November, when construction on the parking lot and demolition of the building on the expansion site began, we started getting a fresh wave of questions about this project and our plans. Here are answers to a couple of frequently-asked questions:

Why did you cut down all the trees next to the parking lot?

City code requires us to have a certain number of parking spaces per square foot of retail space. In order to meet these requirements, we had to cut down the trees (many of which were planted by the Wedge 4 years ago). We will be planting new trees and intensively landscaping the parking lot next spring.

What are you doing about all the noise?

When we start building the addition, we won't be using pile-drivers to put in the foundation. We're using an alternative building technique, drilling holes and filling them with concrete, that's much less noisy.

Are you going to have places to sit and eat in the new Wedge?

Sorry, no. If we had a sit-and-eat space, the city would require us to add even more parking.

Will you be having cooking classes again?

Yes. If you have suggestions about classes you'd like to see or know people who might be interested in teaching, please contact the Wedge business office at 874-7275.
