What's the difference between the City of Lansing's Committee on Development and Planning and the Planning Board? D&P has meeting agendas and minutes that date back some time and continue through February 2017, but the Planning Board doesn't lis…

Yeah, and one of the reasons they cite for moving is the decreased parking due to the substation. Why is the historical center moving to the mall? Is this a foreshadowing that the mall is the next "historic" site? I guess the first nail in the…

I am against the casino. I would much rather have a large grocery store move in downtown. I realize it's not an either-or, but this spot takes away from future Lansing Center expansion and replaces it with a venue that will take money away from gamb…

@david_shane Have you heard any updates on the Under-The-Bridge project?

I'm pretty sure Morgan Lane is a city street, at least I have seen police giving out tickets for speeding on Morgan Lane and I didn't think that is something really enforced on private roads.

Looking back at the picture hood posted from June 2014, it looks like the casino will be a pretty small building on the corner, and that the parking garage will take up most of the site. There doesn't appear to be any ground-floor retail or business…

Once the Cedar Street properties are built, the rest of MarketPlace will lose a lot of street frontage for advertising etc. I think Gillespie is delaying Cedar St expansion until MarketPlace phase 1 and 2 are fully occupied, and might try to leverag…

Yeah, as the article states it's been in the works for a long time now but it looks like the team trying to put it together hasn't been able to get the project fully going. I get the feeling that Eyde has tried to accommodate them for some time, and…

Yes the sidewalk and crosswalk situation is horrible. It's impossible to walk along Clippert (sidewalk appears and disappears on the east side and is mostly non-existent on the west side), and the lack of cross walks along Michigan Ave make crossing…

It's surprising that the press release didn't come out last week. Was there a chance that the site work would find an issue preventing construction from starting?

The LSJ has an article about the Market Place expansion, http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2017/02/13/riverfront-apartments-added-downtown-lansing-marketplace/97853362/

I just noticed today that registration for new users was blocked because I hadn't configured the "I'm not a robot" API. This is now configured and new registrations should go through.

LOL at "concrete factory district" ... very true I really hope that City Hall isn't chosen as a site for a hotel. I doubt a new hotel would be as large as the current City Hall is, and I like the City Hall being across from the capital even thou…

I really like the potential design of The Overlook. Having four floors along Larch is great, and three floors on the back side is reasonable. The mix of materials looks good too. That orange brick is seen in a lot of places around mid-Michigan, it's…

I can't find where I saw a shorter structure being mentioned, but this ELi article mentions that the developer may remove all residential options from the project due to East Lansing's strict ordinance 1384. The building would only have retail and h…

EastLansingInfo met their fundraising goal so the news group will continue to operate. This is great news for East Lansing, and I think it's great news for Lansing too as it shows demand exists for a heavily investigative and independent news source…

It sounds like they are going to expand the project north to include the parking lot on the between Albert Ave and Dublin Square. However at the same time, I think they are going to reduce the height of the building at the corner of Abbot and Grand …

EastLansingInfo, who I've linked to in the past, is fundraising to continue their independent journalism (of which I must note is top notch quality). I just donated to them and I am asking that readers of this site donate there too: http://eastla…

@hood, I made it so that links in the messages are underlined. Does that make it easier to see the links?

I updated the site today to use HTTPS everywhere. All pages should automatically upgrade connections to HTTPS which means that you should see 'https://' in the address bar. This also means that your login information is now encrypted when traveling …
