I really can't be too sure where exactly this will be, but I'm thinking it will be on that land north of the ballbark where the city garage is and maybe where City Market is. I'll be patiently waiting to see "all the details" tomorrow...
Also, the Michigan & Washington intersection is set to reopen on wednesday, and the Washington & Kalamazoo intersection is to reopen next week. Downtown will be finally nearing normal again.
On the news they kept showing pictures of a lot of the rundown buildings behind the stadium, and oddly, pictures of the Lansing City Market. They didn't say anything about the market land being part of the purchase, but they sure implied it with the footage they showed.
They said the traffic circle will open on Wednesday, but is there any indication when the fountain will be finished? I mean, at this rate, there isn't any point getting it done fast because they're going to have to shut it down for the winter. Are we not to expect it until spring?
I don't know, I haven't heard when the fountain will be built, but it would make sense to wait until spring. But with this fountain being in a very high-profile location they may very well heat it and/or use anti freeze to keep it running in the winter.
This is really big news. I hope that the Lansing City Market will simply become either a tenant on one of the new buildings or move to a different location within downtown.
IT sounds like we should be seeing some renderings and/or siteplans as part of todays announcement. I'm liking the sound of two 6 floor towers behind olds park and a new city market on the riverfront. I can't wait to see more details.
I signed up to get the Lansing city council agenda packets and it I found this:
An EDC meetings minutes where the Bojis spoke about Chase Bank moving to 5/3's spot and moving the Majority Resturaunt into the old Chase Bank Building on Washington. I think it would make for a really neat resturaunt location.
I was reading in the LSJ, and apparently the fountain is dependent on donations. Not all of which have come in. I guess they're still waiting on the rest of the funds before the fountain can be completed. Somehow I missed that when they first proposed this.
