About 20 people began their Wednesday evening adventure at the Berkley Community Center before bicycling to Bagger Dave's and then Clark's.
Sun, bikes and family were the just the right ingredients for the perfect start to the second Berkley Bicycle Dinner Cruise on Wednesday evening. At 6:30 p.m., almost 20 hungry bikers began pulling up to the Berkley Community Center ready to go on the dinner cruise, which was hosted by the Berkley Environmental Advisory Committee. Although the event was meant to raise awareness of the bike-ability of the city, many participants were excited about the cruise for other reasons. “We are out here to connect more with the community,” said Lisabeth Conger, who bought her husband and two young daughters. “We have lived in the city for three years and haven’t met that many people, so we are looking to do that tonight.” It was also a family …

Ready your helmets, the Berkley Environmental Advisory Committee is inviting community members to take part in a biking adventure complete with dinner and ice cream. “It’s going to be family friendly in nature,” Lisa Platt Auensen, the committee’s City Council liaison, said of Wednesday's Berkley Bicycle Dinner Cruise. “It’s designed for people of all abilities to come out and enjoy the weather and the city of Berkley.” The committee was formed four years ago as an ad hoc committee to look at municipal energy consumption to save the city money, said Auensen, who was on that founding committee.

The burger chain expects to open its new space this summer; businesses that were located in the demolished building next door have relocated.
Demolition work under way just south of Bagger Dave's in Berkley is making way for an addition to the restaurant that will open this summer, complete with bistro-style windows and eight new craft beers. Bagger Dave's expects to open the addition in time to hold a kick-off event before the Woodward Dream Cruise on Aug. 20, manager Jon Curtis said. Accounting for variances in the construction schedule, the work should be completed within six to eight weeks, he said. The new room, which will include two more televisions and 36 seats, will be open year-round, Curtis said. Berkley City Planner Amy Vansen said the addition will be approximately 700 square feet with large windows that can open during warmer months. "It will be like a summertime …
