Yeah, I've totally expected it to be a suburban industrial park. One can hope for something better though lol. I'd always seen it proposed to be an industrial park. The commercial along Verlinden would be nice.

I'd love to see the Westside Neighborhood extended into the site, and dome well, but I'm not holding my breath.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was thinking it was the short axis that was 120', but now I'm second guessing myself for a double loaded, residential corridor. I'm going to have to look at some past projects, and maybe a coworker that's done …
-
That can work, but biggest bang for your buck will have a corridor down the center and units on both sides. Developers generally want that and have a depth of 120-140. So your scenario could work but only if they're willing to be less efficient wi…

Nice to see the massing of these projects, thanks for that. The one thing that comes to mind for the first housing concept is that the corridors are going to most likely be double loaded, and I'm not sure units facing the parking structure are desi…

Yes! The Lansing subreddit drove me crazy, so I just gave up on it lol. I couldn't believe what came out of it sometimes.

That is why I got off a lot of socials, most recently reddit. The comments just had me constantly losing my temper and faith in humanity. That said, it's horrible to hear people in favor of tearing down a historical structure like Eastern. My bet…

Well put. With you 100% @hood.

Just saw this on LinkedIn today. I'm not sure if this means they plan to tear down Eastern or just build it somewhere on the site. I truly hope they're not just planning to raze Eastern... https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/health-care/um…

Kahn has done some really bland things (some of the sparrow buildings for example), but their history gives me hope. They had a tough time during the recession, possibly even bankruptcy. That all said, I have more faith in them than those Studio I…

Part of mw has wondered if privatization would improve the maintenance of some of these items, but I absolutely hate that idea. The city doesn't event maintain medians or traffic islands at this point, or at least the bare minimum. Edging sidewalk…

I really can't fathom how there is a demand for these, or even paying to store my junk. If it doesn't fit in the house, I probably don't need it. I'm someone who tends to hold onto things and I can't even see the logic in paying to store things. …

Not sure how I feel about that. It does raise a lot of questions, but I wonder if it's just because it's because adapting malls in unique ways is still relatively new. The tax payer part of it is a big question. That said, I think it is an intere…

Yeah, everytime they come up with something new for city hall, I get a little worried. We're never going to get something that compares to the current city hall when it was built, they way its going. The old Masonic Temple seemed like one of the b…

I'd agree with you @gbdinlansing. I'd love to see some hybrid of this plan. The median is huge, and 6 lanes are definitely not needed. Is it really necessary to removed the median? Any street in the area that has a middle lane is often used for …
-
Instead of dwelling on this dilemma I've started, and I apologize for sharing my observations, why don't we discuss what could be a middle ground on this instead of the 5 lane road versus the giant median? Surely there are alternatives we could all…

Sorry if I was implying any of this @MichMatters. I agree that you do often provide a lot of info that I don't generally take the time to dig up, and it is appreciated. I'm sorry if I forgot/missed you had also stated that about the transparency.…
-
I would agree with all of your statements on transparency and community involvement. I think that is a very true statement and perhaps that's what's lead to so much frustration on all sides of this project. Hopefully that's something we can all ag…

What's funny, is the few of you are the only people I've met in favor of this reconfigureation...so I'm not sure who is on the outside. I can see you're all passionate, but so is the otherside. Seems it's been decided there is a right and a wr…
