Brownfield plan to be introduced next week for renovation of the City Rescue Mission property + 2 buildings to the west. Typical ground floor commercial units with 15 residential units on the top floors. Apparently, the apartments of the 2 buildings…

I am sorry I mentioned the two structures. lol I'd only mentioned them to say that I think that they'd unfortunately not been well maintained enough to make saving them worth the cost/trouble. This north end area has plenty of old houses, some maint…

You remember when I was talking about the legal distinction between "local streets" and "major streets"? Well, MDOT has an interactive map showing them: Michigan Road Jurisdiction I think this map shows basically the same thing (though without…

noticed the building at Kalamazoo and Pennsylvania [ a long-time eye sore] has been renovated at least on the outside with the sort of common steel and rock faced brick style of facade you see these days. Passed this for the first time, today…

Rendering: The north boards and south board will be updated, and the final look will be very similar to the previous scoreboards. I figured as much. What you're probably just seeing is that they haven't put the caps/backs on, yet.

Now I'm really quite annoyed the city didn't take Granger up on its offer after seeing what we came up with for the new city hall. lol

I'm confused. They are only replacing the existing score/videoboards. They wouldn't have screens facing away from the stadium.

Next planning commission includes a site plan for Turner North: The item is an Act 33 Review, required when selling off city owned land. Site 0.385 acre parcel a block north of the One the Grand row of condos on Turner. The review says the si…

Demolition of Lansing's Walter Neller building scheduled. Here's when it will come down LANSING — The Walter Neller building is less than two weeks away from a June demolition date. Granger Group, which owns the 122 S. Grand Ave. building, is…

Looks like the Brownfield Redevelopment Board is going to pass the brownfield plan for the old commercial plaza at the corner of West Miller and South Washington. I really wish they were starting over, here, because everything sits back too far from…

Looking at the passed budget, noticed an item that will fund a feasibility study for a community center on the southeast side. You've got Foster on the eastside, Gier on the northside, Letts on the eastside, but only Schmidt in the geographically ex…

Was looking through the adopted budget, and something that caught my eye is that a major transfer was made from our "major streets fund" to our "local streets fund" so that we go from spending $4.48 million for local streets this fiscal year to $13…

Came across this photo on the historical society's facebook looking up Logan (MLK) at St. Joseph around 1972. gb, you've talked about this area, before. Church was a COGIC at the time, but was originally Mayflower Congregational. Though it's …

The city's Public Service Department construction map simply says "Planned for 2025" "Not Started." I do recall this was supposed to have happened months ago, so I have no idea what happened. They give the contact for this particular project as bein…

BTW, which version of the ADU ordinance did they pass? Edit: Looks like they used Hussein's amendment.

Did the amended form-based code and ADU ordinances pass, tonight?

It strikes me that the most obvious thing would be for the neighboring property owner to the west to buy it, and just knock down the wall between the two and market the larger space. Didn't one or the two of these have a fire some years back? I vagu…

Are the plans for the fish ladder in a parks commission agenda or something? Speaking of the ladder, there is a HUGE tree stretching the dam after storms weeks ago. I was surprised the BWL hadn't been out there to remove it as it can't be good for t…

Thanks for those updates! I took these photos years and years ago, now, at Tower on Grand. It just feels so weird to finally see construction after so many false starts. Still miss the old City Club building, though. At the time, it was the one o…

They must have put it behind a paywall. No, no additional renderings or anything. They say construction will not start any sooner than August of next year. They put the cost at $25 million and it's being developed by Craig Willian, of Develop Detroi…
