March 21, 2012 – An upgrade to the dock between Trump International Hotel & Tower and Wrigley Building should make boarding of Wendella boats easier for everyone, especially disabled passengers.

According to a publicist for Trump Tower, no renderings of the new dock are available. However, in a news release on Tuesday, Michael Borgstrom, president of Wendella Sightseeing Company, Inc., said the dock “will improve and enhance the overall guest experience and provide easier access for the disabled community.”

The new dock, which should be ready by April 6, will be accessible from the Wrigley Building breezeway nearby and Wabash Avenue from the west.
