Washington County officials also detailed why the Radio Drive-Hargis Parkway intersection will have a signal instead of a roundabout.
As Woodbury prepares for a new mixed-use development at the southwest corner of Radio Drive and Bailey Road, the City Council on Wednesday approved plans for roadway expansion in the area. Radio Drive will be expanded from two lanes to four from Bailey Road to Hargis Parkway, and a third pedestrian underpass will be installed near the Radio-Bailey intersection. (County staff is busy with other projects, so Woodbury is acting as the lead agency for the roadwork.) Bielenberg Gardens, which calls for retail, commercial and residential growth across 200 acres at the site, “is really driving this project,” City Engineer Klayton Eckles said. The developer wants to move forward with the work, and Woodbury is hoping to begin construction next May …

The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday approved several changes to a zoning ordinance that will impact how the urban village develops.
As Woodbury looks toward a new “urban village” development, the City Council on Wednesday approved several changes to a zoning ordinance that will help shape the area in the coming years. Many of the changes cleared up language in the ordinance, and conform with changes to state law and the city’s comprehensive plan, said Janelle Schmitz, Woodbury’s economic development director. But the changes will also craft how the urban village—a mixed-use development slated for the southwest corner of Radio Drive and Bailey Road—comes together. Related: Woodbury Eyes Plans for New Mixed-Use Development The changes adhere to the urban village master plan and, according to a presentation from Schmitz, the ordinance should: The changes would “give…

Council members on Wednesday will briefly discuss the master plan for Bielenberg Gardens, a mixed-use development planned southwest corner of Bailey Road and Radio Drive.
The Woodbury City Council has a fairly small agenda planned for Wednesday night, but it does include discussion of one very large project. The city is mulling plans for Bielenberg Gardens, a mixed-use “urban village” development at the southwest corner of Bailey Road and Radio Drive. Plans call for a retail center and medium- to high-density housing. Features of the proposed development include a green-space network, senior housing, water amenities, office space, a pharmacy, and locations for a fast-food establishment and grocer. The council is expected to briefly discuss the master plan document and zoning for the site. The city has received Metropolitan Council funding for a crossing from the urban village to the Bielenberg Sports Center…

Plans call for residential, retail and commercial growth on 200 acres at the southwest corner of Radio Drive and Bailey Road.
The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday took a detailed look at preliminary plans for a new mixed-use development on 200 acres in the southwest portion of the city. Plans for the development—dubbed Bielenberg Gardens—call for retail, commercial and residential growth at the southwest corner of Radio Drive and Bailey Road. Bryan Harjes, an associate with Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc., outlined some of the alternatives and the process during a council workshop.

The idea, Harjes said, is for a walk-able area that has a “main street character.” Council members …

Plans call for a retail, service and office center with space for medium- to high-density housing at the southwest corner of Bailey Road and Radio Drive
The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday will take a look at plans for an “urban village” at the southwest corner of Bailey Road and Radio Drive. The council is expected to discuss the matter following its regular meeting as part of a workshop that will outline the initial site plans and concepts. Under the city’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the parcel was slated as urban village, which is meant to be a smaller version of City Center (the area around Radio Drive and Valley Creek Road), according to council documents. The city envisions the area as a retail, service and office center with space for medium- to high-density housing. It’s intended to be a walkable area, according to a council memo.
