"The design is final"...this is so discouraging. I don't see where the $40 million is going. This design is suburban shit. I wasn't so upset when I believed this couldn't be a final design... https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/form-and…

@hood, you make some really good points about this facility. I didn't hate the options proposed, but I think you're right. I will say, while that area is industrial, and this doesn't seem out of place (wasn't there already an inflatable building o…

Yeah, I wonder if they could've done design build with a contractor...seems like the stupid route they would try. I am confused how this is a $40 million building, especially when previously mentioned, I thought the city had a budget and then the s…

Yeah...this is a huge disappointment. I have to say, if they wanted to go the classical route, AM Stern would be an amazing architect to go with. I've always loved their work. I'd be curious how/why they chose Krieger Klatt. Are they cheap? Doe…

I'm sure everyone's already seen, but they've started demolition. Must've gotten their permit with no fight from the city... https://www.wlns.com/news/demolition-of-old-eastern-high-school-in-lansing-begins/amp/

I'm sensing it will be years, if decades, before Sparrow builds on any of these sites they've been leveling. It's so disheartening and disappointing. All people can do in the future is vote and try to get some better leadership in this city. I ca…

Completely agree! That's my hope as well.

While the building is now on the register, it doesn't mean it's protected from demolition. I think the plus here, as mentioned by MichMatters, is opening it up for incentives and grants. For this to be protected, it would have to be designated a h…

I'm generally not in favor of structures over the road. I was thrilled to see the portion of the parking deck over Grand go years ago. However, I'm not completely opposed in this situation. I know I've said it before, and I know I'm the odd one o…

Yeah...I saw that too. I couldn't believe that's where they're thinking. What the hell good is that going to do?!
-
That's fair. It's too bad though. That section could really use at least additional pedestrian crossings with some sort of traffic control to cross St Joe/Malcolm X. A covered section with park space there would be amazing though. Even if it was…

Wow! As someone who used to live just south of 496 and still a westside resident (further north), that would be a huge win in my mind. I know its just planning, but that seems promising. Just trying to go for a decent walk from that section of ne…

I'd love to see things more interconnected like hood outlined. I would likely utilize those routes regularly, if they did it right. Especially as someone who commutes to GR and Kalamazoo regularly. Detroit regularly enough too. I've always hoped…

There's parking in the projects you referenced or plenty of parking in Lansing? I can completely agree to the latter portion lol. I think that's a fair differentiation from the mall. I mean a mall could be designed for such, but this option i…

I really like the more European approach with the streets. I just wonder, is that basically turning Washington into a mall, again? I'm just not sure how well it would work in Lansing, as much as I like the idea. Also, those specific example image…

The one that is related to the Granger family (trash and construction) at least graduated from Holt. He'd never mentioned Sexton, always Holt. Which I thought was odd, as I grew up over by Dwight Rich and it was my understanding the Grangers lived…

It must've been a different Gary Granger, the Gary of the Granger family, and Granger development actually graduated from Holt High School. Maybe there was another Gary in the family?

Well that is some good news about demolitions and the zoning changes. It's definitely something Lansing needed to do. I've seen the safety report and photos of the interior from years ago. That building is beyond fixing up or saving, especial…
-
Does this mean Granger will be footing the bill for the demolition then? I sure hope so. They did absolutely nothing to maintain that. I worked right near it for years and it was always a problem with things collapsing and the homeless getting in…

It's small enough that a project this size is usually partnered with a much larger firm. There are firms 4 times the size of Hobbs+Black that would partner with a much larger national firm. As far as in town options, I'll agree with that. It is p…
