For Whole Foods: covered, lighted and secure bike storage for employees and shoppers. This could be integrated with a complimentary repair stand and some simple tools, air, bike wash, and perhaps even tied into products, information and services for cyclists (sponsorship by and advertising for locally owned bike shops, services, products, etc). The existing bike racks are convenient and monitored by video, but they could be improved to promote bike usage and serve as a model for little investment relative to accommodating more vehicle usage and parking. Yes, I propose providing preferential treatment to cyclists and others that chose to not drive for their meals. I commute and shop via bike 52-weeks a year (only ice or large loads keeps me from using two wheels). Hey, the more you ride (or run, walk, hike, etc), the more you get to eat, which is what most any stores selling food should be interested in promoting.

I would like to see the building design of 1309 Spruce Street exemplify some of the creative spirit of it’s past. Maybe hear what Carl Worthington, Richard Foy, Thomas Thorpe, or David Barret would want to see in this space. With design backgrounds, and after spending time in this space, it seems they would know it’s environmental features pretty well.

Whole Foods: With such a large rooftop, i’d like to see a community garden and eating area with view of the flatirons. Inside, I would like to see a public kitchen area where they offer culinary classes. I would also to see better bike racks along the outside.
