So today's the deadline for City Hall proposals. Think we'll hear anything tonight or tomorrow?
-
Demolition of the buildings has been pushed back at least a month. The Michigan Strategic Fund did not put this project on its agenda for their August 22nd meeting. Their next meeting is September 26. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news…

Yeah that's a good point. Maybe waiting so there's less scrutiny before the proposal goes before a board/commission?
-
I'm expecting a proposal will come in at the 11th hour, deliberately so no other developer has time to look at it and modify their own before submitting. The timeline for this is very aggressive, and I believe it's due to two reasons: 1, Virg doe…

Yeah, looks to be better materials than some of Gillespie's developments. I still wish we could come up with something better than a large surface parking lot in front. There's barely any trees in the middle of the parking lot, and nothing really to…

Wow so cool, you are a celebrity @gdbinlansing! Yeah, kids don't spend as much time outdoors anymore, and there's a lot more rules about where cars can be parked etc. I wish people spent more time outside, we've got a great climate here that has all…

Thank you! I was able to find the property using your help @sabatoa. @The_Lansing_Magnate, I really like the sign (Crown Cleaners?) in the last picture you posted on the 1926 building.

I'm looking near Pattengill and Mt Hope btw

How were you able to find the parcel number for your home? I've got the current parcel number but the description at the top of the page doesn't help me find the old number.

The LSJ has a story on their front page about documents related to selling and redeveloping city hall. They link to http://lansingcityhallredevelopment.com/ which is the website advertising the redevelopment. I am pretty against this. I don't thi…

I personally don't think Lansing should have a casino. They don't offer great paying jobs for the area, and they drain a lot of the money out of the area as well. The scholarships it would pay for are the only positive, and I wonder how many scholar…

I could be mistaken but the picture MichMatters posted looks like weeds in the flower bed at the bottom of the photo. If those are intentional plantings their positioning seem quite random and not thought out :P
-
Thanks for the photos! This building is so cool, I think what makes me the happiest about it is the lack of drama around its construction and proposal/planning process. If we could get a few more of these in the pipeline along the Michigan Ave / Gra…

Huh, the wording is confusing to me too. To say "none" makes it seem that properties along MAC, for example, could be built right up to the curb? But there would be an easement for the sidewalk and the building could be built right up to the sidewal…
-
Yes, the idea about building something off of Wood makes a lot more sense to me. But I don't think LEPFA is struggling to find meeting rooms, and I don't think that the city should be in the business of event hosting (excluding the Lansing Center). …

Ormond Park also had many of its old growth trees cut down to make way for the roadway. Unfortunately these can't be brought back no matter what the courts decide. I'm pretty upset that Bernero tried to rush this through before he left office. It…

Looks great! And that's without the murals. Should look great during the day when the murals get put in.
-
Yeah Virginia Street is the same project that @david_shane was talking about with the Mayberry single family homes.
-
This is at the corner of Beech and Gunson in East Lansing. It's between Burcham, Abbot, Hagadorn, and Grand River.

Nice picture! I had forgotten about these. They replaced the old "monopoly" houses. At this site there used to be about 12 small little cottages that each looked like tiny monopoly houses. I think DTN did a good job with the colors here, looks like …
