Yes unfortunately many unprotected bike lanes become a defacto shoulder for street debris. In the winter it's common to see snow get plowed in to the bike lanes. These were not problems when they were auto lanes.
I noticed the same brick pavement under the crumbling pavement on S. Capitol Ave and on S.Washington and Kalamazoo. It is noisy but brick paving can have fewer pothole problems.
It is so enjoyable to hit a "smooth zone" where you can relax a bit and enjoy the drive however short. Lansing should buy one of the road- grinder repaving machines ourselves and run it 24/7.
It would be interesting to note if the ridership goes up when gas prices reach $3.00.
I have noticed these unmarked white buses going up and down S. Washington the windows are darkened so I can see if anyone is on the bus. Just something different and I wonder if anyone knows what are these busses?
I noticed that they are going to repave Seymour Street! This is good news as that street is one of the many worse streets in Lansing. I was wondering if the repaving plans had increased above earlier plans do to added funds by the state?
I could see modern brick pavement on N. Washington. Capitol Ave is a real moonscape as well. I wonder how they chose, I would start with the block the Capitol is on and move out in ever larger squares from there. I like that the plan includes Ceasar Chaves in Old Town that is a bad one.
I'm taking, Seymour, and Pine, to from Old Town to REOtown for a smooth ride! In Old Town, once you get past N. Washington the streets in every direction are very bad. It is confusing where Grand River meets Grand River and also turns into Willow and Chavez. Maybe they are going to figure all that out? It would be nice if the repaved the RR crossing in Old Town.

The repave gave us a chance to catch a glimpse of the old cobblestone underneath too

I could use that route!
Drove down Pine Street it is really nice! I can picture the whole downtown with streets just like that.

I meant "worst streets" that are getting worse!:} Also I wonder why they left a few blocks out of the repaving of Pine Street?

Does anyone have more information about the Grand River Street reconfiguration project? Such as the proposed lane arrangments?
