Compliments to the revamp on the building architecture. Wanted to know what the site improvements would encompass, ie. parking lot landscaping, building perimeter landscaping, bicycle racks, benches, lighting,pedestrian walkway connections to surrounding retail and neighborhoods, etc. These all add to the LEED points rating system. Also, has the Whole Foods Corporate thought of extending the building interior sales to the exterior, such as a small weekend farmers market plaza, creating more visibility of merchandise and neighborhood activity. This is often seen in other parts of the country.

Look forward to the opening!

They could have have easily gotten a platinum rating. Based on the topography of the lot, there is a high volume of storm runoff towards the intersection. This could be avoided completely with a more pervious surface, although I doubt the hipsters on their fixies wouldn't like it. In this neighborhood you would expect them to go all out with the storm water storage tanks.
