The Woodbury City Council discussed the concerns at Wednesday night’s meeting.
Residents of Woodbury’s Eagle Valley and Wedgewood Shores neighborhoods have contacted council members about issues with cut-through traffic related to the Woodbury Drive project. Councilwoman Amy Scoggins broached the topic during Wednesday night’s Woodbury City Council meeting. While picking up a daughter’s friend near the project area recently, Scoggins said she could barely back out of the driveway. “This could be really bad if people keep cutting through,” she said. Woodbury Drive is closed from Park Crossing to south of Lake Road, the northern part of the project, which will be completed first. Plans call for the road to be expanded to four lanes from Park Crossing to a quarter mile south of Bailey Road. Mayor Mary Giuliani Stephen …

Construction is underway next to Mattress Firm.

It’s doing “very well,” according to Laurie Mordorski, marketing director at Woodbury Lakes. The new store looks as though it will be attached to Mattress Firm.

Site grading, pond draining and lobby demolition at the Bielenberg Sports Center took place Tuesday, May 7. The work marks the latest phase in Woodbury's $21.8 million BSC expansion project, which calls for a new field house, two-story lobby, plaza and outdoor rink, along with other upgrades. The existing ice arenas will remain (but see improvements), and people are asked to enter through the west rink doors. Bielenberg staff is operating out of the skate-sharpening area, according to this week's report from the city administrator.

Sidewalks are torn up but the doors are open.
While work on a building at Woodbury’s CityWalk development progresses, the businesses there are open. “It’s just a nuisance,” said Melissa Fink, co-owner of Wild Child Hair. The sidewalks are torn up as crews fix footings and siding is being replaced on the building at the 10000 block of City Walk Drive. Fink said she feels people driving by assume her hair salon, Quiznos, H&R Block and Waxing the City are closed. Walk-ins have slowed since the work began, she said.

Fink said there have been issues with water seepage at the building. The work is expected to be complete by mid May or mid June, Fink …
