The restaurant is part of the Bielenberg Sports Center expansion project.
The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday examined plans for a new restaurant at the Bielenberg Sports Center. Gartner Restaurant Holdings has been selected to handle food service at the new complex, which is currently under construction. A restaurant would be built on the second floor of the new lobby, and Gartner Restaurant Holdings would also run a snack bar on the first floor. Greg Gartner said his company has experience providing food service at other sports facilities and the concept for the Woodbury space was partially inspired by restaurants at the Xcel Energy Center. Other municipal sports facilities are including restaurants, said Bob Klatt, Woodbury Parks and Recreation director. “The trend is going that way,” he said. The plans …

The new restaurant is part of the expansion project currently underway.
The company chosen to provide food service at the expanded Bielenberg Sports Center envisions a full-scale restaurant on the second floor of the lobby. The proposal is part of the Bielenberg Sports Center expansion project. Plans call for a new field house, two-story lobby, outdoor rink and improvements to the existing ice arenas, which will remain in place. Construction is underway. The Woodbury City Council during a workshop meeting Wednesday, May 15, is expected to examine the concept for the new restaurant and concession area. The proposal from Gartner Restaurant Holdings features a “full-service restaurant on the second floor, a concession stand on the first floor and food service carts and potential service in the surrounding fields…

Michael Litgen spoke during Wednesday night’s Woodbury City Council meeting.
It’s just a matter of when, according to Michael Litgen. “A splash pad is coming to Woodbury,” he said. Litgen spoke during the open forum portion of Wednesday night’s Woodbury City Council meeting, urging the city to install the water feature as part of the Bielenberg Sports Center expansion plans. The city has been considering the splash pad as it moves forward with the $21.8 million project, which includes a new field house, two-story lobby and outdoor rink, among other updates. An all-inclusive playground, Madison's Place, is also planned at the site. Litgen said a splash pad would improve the overall project, comparing it to the way the Lookout Ridge indoor playground enhances the city’s Central Park facility. “This adds to the …

Having water on the canvas would have delayed the project.
Monday was supposed to be the first and last time the Bielenberg Sports Center's dome was deflated. But it will probably happen again Thursday. After Woodbury held a “bubble bursting” ceremony Monday evening, snow started coming down, so the dome went back up that night. Having water in top of the canvas and on the turf at the sports center would have slowed the project, said Dave Black, manager at the BSC. Had the air and heat not been turned on again “we would have had a disaster on our hands. … And by disaster I mean three more weeks of waiting,” Black said. It was a “maintenance decision” to re-inflate the dome, he said. The dome was taken down as the city prepares for a $21.8 million expansion project. Related: In Woodbury, Down Goes …

Washington County will expand the roadway from two lanes to four from Park Crossing south to Saint Ambrose this year.
Washington County has announced an open house for the Woodbury Drive construction project, which is scheduled to begin this month. Plans call for the roadway to be expanded to four lanes from Park Crossing to a quarter mile south of Bailey Road, with roundabouts at the Lake and Bailey intersections, trails on both sides of the street, narrower shoulders and lanes, and about $1 million in landscaping work. The $13.3 million roadwork project has encountered challenges because of the narrow right-of-way in the area. The open house is set for 4:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 4, at the Eagle Valley Golf Course clubhouse. The public will be able to view construction plans, detour maps and the project schedule, according to a release from …

The Woodbury City Council will discuss the proposal at Wednesday night’s meeting.
Councilwoman Julie Ohs has been a strong proponent of the idea for a splash pad at the Bielenberg Sports Center. Councilman Christopher Burns has not. As for the Bielenberg Sports Center Expansion Task Force, which was reconvened Tuesday morning to examine the splash pad idea, it was a “split verdict,” Burns said. There were “strong opinions on both sides,” Burns said, “much like the council.” The Woodbury City Council is set to discuss the splash pad at its meeting Wednesday night. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Eagle Valley Golf Course clubhouse. Ohs has made clear her support for a splash pad, saying in February it would make the revamped sports center “more accessible, more inclusive.” Woodbury officials have discussed the idea for …

The council meets for a workshop at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and is also set to hear annual reviews for the Eagle Valley Golf Course and Bielenberg Sports Center.
The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday is set to once again take up its discussion of the possibility of a splash pad at the Bielenberg Sports Center. The city in February examined the proposal for a splash pad, which received mixed reviews from the council. Related: Splash Pad at Bielenberg Gets Lukewarm Reception from Woodbury City Council A splash pad is being considered as the city moves forward with its plans for a $21.8 million upgrade for the sports center, which include a new permanent field house, two-story lobby connecting the new facility and existing arenas, and an outdoor pleasure rink. It will be built without a tax increase. Demolition work is set to begin early next month. There is a $500,000 allowance for a splash pad in …

Work on razing the dome and lobby is set to begin April 8.
With demolition at the Bielenberg Sports Center to begin in early April, the Woodbury City Council on Wednesday approved millions in contracts for the expansion project. Woodbury is planning to build a new permanent field house to replace the aging dome, along with a new two-story lobby linking the new structure and existing ice arenas, and an outdoor pleasure rink. The estimated cost is $21.8 million. The total estimate for the 24 “work scopes” was $18.2 million, but the bids came in at $17.9 million, Parks and Recreation Director Bob Klatt told the council. There were four bids the council declined to approve Wednesday—metal panels, joint sealants, flooring and gym equipment. Those projects will be further evaluated as the work moves …

The Woodbury City Council meets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 13.
Punch Pizza is still shooting for a June opening, and work on its new Woodbury location will likely begin in about a month, a manager told Patch on Monday. Punch is one of three businesses that have liquor license applications coming before the Woodbury City Council on Wednesday. The others are the Tavern Grill and Cowboy Jack’s. Punch Pizza is planning to open in part of the FedEx building at 8310 City Centre Drive. The shipping company will downsize its Woodbury location to accommodate the new restaurant. The Tavern Grill opened in early June 2012 in the former Aperitif space off Tamarack Road and Bielenberg Drive. A change in operations/ownership is necessitating the new license. Cowboy Jack’s, meanwhile, is set to open in the former …

Here’s what people were saying about the proposal this week.
The Woodbury City Council this week had a tepid reaction to the idea for a splash pad as part of the Bielenberg Sports Center expansion plans. Here’s what people had to say… We asked: Would you guys want to see a splash pad at the Woodbury, MN-Bielenberg Sports Center? Jerome: No Splashpad. How about a nice pool and waterpark like some other communities have. Camille: yes, Woodbury, a little community water fun would be GREAT! Nicola: For sure! Cottage Grove's splash pad is awesome! A water park would be way better but I'll take the splash pad! Sarah: Cottage Grove has a new splash pad...to build another one in Woodbury would be redundant. Heather: Yes! We drive to the CG one. We'd love to have one in our community here. Heather: They're …
