Wood-Anoka Project Shaping Up

The corner of Anoka and Wood avenues in Barrington is taking on a far different look.

The two 2,900-square-foot L-shaped buildings that will house businesses on the first floor and two-bedroom apartments on the second floor are taking shape. And you can begin to see the entrance to the development off of Anoka Avenue.

There will be 24 off-street parking spaces between and behind the buildings and four on-street parking spaces on Anoka and Wood avenues.

The mixed-use project is the first development in Barrington subject to a variety of recently approved zoning regulations,such as the need for bicycle racks set up in relation to the number of parking spaces. It also must include sidewalks.

One of the apartments must be affordable housing.
