Tonight in the State of the City address Mayor Bernero talked about and showed renderings of a "destination park" created from the Red Cedar Golf course. Hopefully we can see more soon.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but in the State of the City address, when Bernero talked about this, he introduced Pat Lindemann saying something about we'll be working with our creative drain commissioner on this. It makes sense now...thanks for picking up on this MM.
This could be a very, very nice development.With a potential multi-use Michigan Flyer terminal right across the street and now this it could end up a pretty nice area. Hopefully this is only the beginning of development on Michigan Ave, I can't wait to see more details on it.
MM and Hood,
For the sake of those of us who aren't as knowledgable, could this new development (assuming it comes to fruition) be in anyway seen as a success for the Michigan Ave. corridor improvement movement? Or is this development a result of other circumstances that would have happened regardless of that improvement initiative?
If this doesn't have anything to do with the corridor authority its certainly is aligned with its goals, assuming it will be a quality project of course.
I'd always envisioned the improvements starting from EL's and Lansing's downtowns and moving towards each other, but now it appears as if they could also emanate out from the Frandor area. There's no doubt that there are plenty of potential locations for many different types of development all up and down Michigan Ave. I just remembered that the site of
The Dollar is also going to be developed before too long also, so this area could look very different in a few years.

When I win the lotto and buy it, I'm goung to count the mezzanine as a floor, so I'll say it was the third too.
I wonder where they plan to put it? I'm guessing either near the new City Market or at Wentworth Park (Michigan & Grand.)
