The north side of Drastic Measures should be taking on a new look this summer as plans are in place to add a handicap accessible entry and outdoor seating area.

The Wadena City Council approved a request for sidewalk encroachment on Aldrich Ave. for Drastic Measures Brewing. The encroachment allows for an outdoor seating area and the improved access to the north entry door makes it ADA and fire code compliant.
Planning and zoning director Dean Uselman said the encroachment still allows plenty of space for walking on the sidewalk, 6-7 feet. Uselman said the current door swings in, which is a fire code violation. The change adds a ramp and change of door swing. Tables outside would sit from the door access east to the windows towards the front of the building. They could be folded up when not in use.
