I was just reading their reporting. Wow this is a major change. Good to see the contract is still in place until October which will give enough time to properly bid this out.

Yeah, if a large majority of students decide to do a "skip year", we may see other landlords decide now is the time to tear down and rebuild bigger. Previously that would have meant they would lose 1-2 years of rental income and the math didn't work…

Actually the lease was just renewed, https://eastlansinginfo.news/with-the-public-ramps-bleeding-money-city-eliminates-free-2-hour-parking-downtown/ https://cityofeastlansing.civicweb.net/document/31290/Approve a lease agreement between the C…

Yeah I agree though there are still a few landowners that already have large assemblies. Most of the SBS block is owned by a single owner, and I think Metzger owns Peanut Barrell to Campus Town Mall. The lot behind Peanut Barrell is privately owned …

This is great and I'm so happy to see them move forward with 7 stories. It's been well overdue to have MSUFCU locate offices downtown. I would love to see Vertafore and First National Bank move offices downtown, both are currently located near Abbot…

It sounded to me like the city negotiated the deal and it was easier to build it on city land so the city could collect lease payments. If the price was right I'm sure the casino could have found a parking lot owner who would have sold. With the shu…

This was probably foreseeable by most but the casino is now officially canceled, https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2020/04/06/kewadin-casino-lansing-wayne-county-lawsuit-sault-ste-marie-chippewa/2863225001/

Yeah I can see why this is a good time with less cars on the road, as well as we need the roads to be in good condition for transporting of medical supplies. But it's also a good time to be extra cautious and prevent injuries that would increase dem…

Why is freeway construction considered an essential service right now? I'm surprised this construction is still proceeding.

This plan may never get off the ground if the economy moves in to a recession, as it's looking this week and last week. I imagine lots of development projects that haven't put a shovel in the ground will get delayed since this virus may take three m…

This looks really nice, and shows what could have been possible had the YMCA building been rehabbed.

I looked to see if the forum software supports "likes" and the closest I could find was a plugin that was created for the forum software but it hasn't been updated in over a year so I'm hesitant to add it. I do wish there was something like that bui…

Wow that is a beautiful building there, @MichMatters . I'm glad to see this one slowed down too. As Saginaw currently stands, I don't see retail working here without a surface lot. But I think residential on top of the ramp would work. If the city a…

Yeah it would be cool to put an arch over the bridge (from north to south) that says "Lansing" on it, framed in such a way that when viewed from the center of Michigan Ave it will put the Capital in the center of the arch. As it is now, it's easy to…

How does CATA count on-campus rides if the deposit box has a "free rides" cover? I agree that students should get use of the full network, I didn't know they were limited to on-campus routes. Though off-campus students often get bus cards from their…

The former Cosi finally has a new occupant. Snap Pizza had opened in that location. https://mobile.twitter.com/CityofEL/status/1228695315852689413

Also cool is that the land will still be used for sheep grazing and a pollinator habitat. I wonder how there will be enough light for the grass to grow for the sheep. Or maybe there will be enough spots without solar panels that enough grass will st…

The MSU Board of Trustees has voted 7-0 to build a 100 acre solar farm on the northwest corner of Jolly and Hagadorn Roads. The solar farm will generate 20 MWac of power and save the university roughly $1 million per year. Here's the full map and…
-
Counting the current parking spaces from Google Maps satellite view, it looks like there is currently 72 parking spaces so the relatively large surface lot will stay. It would have been nice to see the Gannon Ramp at LCC become more accessible to th…

I don't know if it is fair to say that they don't really care which city the campus is in. I assume by "campus" you are referring to the research parks. Being in Lansing though opens the doors for more incentives that East Lansing can't offer. In th…
