I discovered when looking into MDOT's decommissioning of the Capitol Loop through downtown that they essentially cut a deal with Lansing that transfered part of East Michigan Avenue from around Highland to Detroit Street back to MDOT. This stretch t…

Yep. If anyone remembers the golf course before the development, it was a lake during a good stretch of the year because it's literally in the floodplain, which is why there was so much haggling over the plinth they had originally proposed to build,…

They changed Tower on Grand AGAIN, and I'm not liking this change, at all. Worst design, yet. Anyway, the news we got from the WLNS interview, tonight, is that they've already done soil borings to test the earth beneath. Gentilozzi then menti…

Where's the onsite rendering?

Okay, so the building to be demolished at the Neogen complex is the older 3-story building (and the one-story attached section) you see in the foreground of that old picture I took. I will honestly hate to see it go, but content that it will be for …

Next city council meeting: 1. Update of brownfield for Neogen's expansion plans at their complex. Phase II involved a request to tear down the old 3-story Herbert Building used for manufacturing, for a larger (35,000 sq ft) building which will be…

I didn't start this, and I regularly put in the work to provide you all with info from municipal documents and the like many else here never do. I didn't - and don't - appreciate the implication that us agreeing with that the opposition to this proj…

Every one of us at times is on the outside looking in. I guess on this particular project, you're the one on the outside. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like I said, I'm not particularly interested in some of the off-topic tangents and stuff, but ostensibly, everyon…

This quote from a resident in WILX had my brain go into shut-down mode, it was so ridiculous. Like, my brain crashed: Jasmine Jajko is a Lansing resident who was concerned about the possibility of a bike path being so close to MLK Boulevard. …

How this turned out is so ridiculous and undermines public service department. If people are angry , their recourse is to oust the elected politicians who appoint heads of these departments. To let residents - who don't know a road from a highway fr…

Update on the East Lansing Coolidge Road project. The "concrete median" is actually just a concrete island for pedestrians, and will be near Weather Hill Court. And then it looks like the Lansing side of the Coolidge Road project is going to be cons…

We all knew this was coming, but it's sad to see the oldest part of the complex come down, nevertheless. Thursday, McLaren began demolishing the original building at the site, the 1929 a four-story hospital then known as the Ingham County Tu…

Placing them in the non-turnig sections would block off all left-turns into the private driveways (particularly on the west side of the street). I can't imagine the residents would support that. This is all so weird. Edit: I see the City Pulse is…

LSJ has a story about partial closures on Coolidge roughly between Saginaw and Lake Lansing that's planned to last until the end of June. Traffic will be maintained in each direction with one lane. One thing mentioned is that the road will have a…

I'd been clear I was disappointed by that, too. But then seeing the opposition to JUST a road diet as a general concept here, it's pretty clear that if part of the plan also included selling off that land to a developer, this would have been DOA. Th…

I mean, this is almost a no-brainer. The existing roadway + median is over 175 feet wide in some places. It's ridiculously overbuilt and there is no scenario from a traffic point where it makes sense to leave it alone. You essentially have a divided…

This seems unwise. The city is now back to offering an almost no-change option for the MLK reconfiguration: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/47961541-48aa-4f51-b21a-fc2af37fb763 I'm not sure why they'd allow this option when they'd alr…

Yeah, one of the big obstacles doing anything beyond renovation (expansion) is that it's very firmly in the floodplain, which is why I'm assuming nothing else was ever built on the large lot. And with the city's policy of actually offering to buy ou…
-
I mean, two of the buildings are at least oriented toward the street. This is a strange site being wedged in between a freeway and a river, so I'm not really disappointed about the siting, much. It's crams quite a of density on a relatively small si…

Looks like a fourth building is being added to REO Gateway Apartments according to media reports on Tuesday. None of us are fans of the architecture, but the increased density will be nice. Though, I'm surprised they are going to cram it somewhere o…
