I was asked by subterranean via private message to delete their account. I have marked the account as "banned" and decided not to delete their comments as the responses to the comments would become out of context.

Yeah, maybe the city needs to recuse itself from any site plan reviews (sarcasm). But the city could realistically deny any site plans and basically limit the Metzgers from doing any development. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Metzgers offload t…

I'm pretty sure you knew the answer to your questions before you asked them. Progress is slow and some developments have taken many years longer than they had initially proposed. The value of land in the region isn't high enough yet to create a buil…

The negative comments don't help Lansing. The Lansing area knows pretty well its challenges, and we don't take each opportunity of progress for granted. @subterranean This forum isn't here for brash generalizations about populations. Please take …

East Lansing Info is reporting that the city's lease for the parking lot (Lot 11) behind Beggars Banquet is set to expire in 2020 (a 5 year lease with 3 renewals built in). The owner of the property is the Metzger family, and they could decide to de…

This thread goes back to April 2008, and before then there were rumors of a big building coming (though this eventually got reduced in size). I'm still sad to see this large building being replaced by a smaller building but the increased population …

Demolition of the YMCA has started and is expected to take 8 weeks: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2018/10/15/demolition-downtown-ymca/1646642002/ The article doesn't say when construction might start on the building. Given that …

The Ann Arbor to Traverse City line doesn't make any sense to me when we should be pushing for a Detroit-Ann Arbor-Lansing-Grand Rapids line first. Until we can connect our major metropolitan areas then we shouldn't be trying to plan a much longer r…

Indeed those were beautiful buildings and could have been a real source of pride for the city. They could have made for beautiful law office or any other type of business even if the city built City Hall at another location. Similar to the Grand …

Speaking of the post office, I saw on EastLansingInfo today that the post office location in the MSU Union is closing. People will be redirected to the East Lansing branch at Abbot Road and Saginaw.

Yeah this layout looks really awkward to me. I do expect that they will ask for city money to pay for changes to the stadium, of which I hope they're denied. Public money should stop going towards professional sports.

I think you've interpreted that ordinance in the wrong direction. 700 members, if half can fit would be 350. But the ordinance says "one for every three seats in the pew" so that would be close to 116 parking spaces, not 1000+.

Wow this is very insightful. I didn't know about all of these different data points. Thanks for sharing these when you come across them
-
Yeah, there are honestly tons of surface lots that could be bought for the right price. People only propose deals that benefit themselves, not the others. The city would be getting the short end of the stick here and honestly a little inconvenience …

Yeah the mayor is out of the country I believe. This article has more information, https://eastlansinginfo.org/content/draheim-says-council-members-pulled-bait-and-switch-leaves-absence

The city council is also operating on a skeleton crew with only three regular attendees and they need votes of at least three in the affirmative to pass anything so each member has a veto now. If Ruth Beier manages to attend (she's taking night clas…

Looks like a basketball court except they put a cutout of the state on the wall instead of a backboard. The high fences also lead to the basketball court. But the other circles could get confusing. The court reminds me of the Pigalle court in Par…

Demolition of the YMCA should start in a few weeks according to a new article from the LSJ. Demolition is expected to take 8 weeks. They said that a new sanitary sewer line must be built before demolition but that the developers sent out a two-we…

I didn't expect the east side of the building to have those angled wedges. I wonder why they did this as I would assume it costs more and definitely reduces square footage.

Thanks for the screenshots. Yeah the building will be much larger than what is currently there as the power plant portion is only about 1/3 or less of the final building.
