Because they have such sparse agendas (no packets) & minutes, there is not a lot of detail in the last planning commission about Howard & Michigan, but what I'm noticing from the minutes is that they are again micro-managing the development.…

After I'd asked on here, I actually did hear something through the grapevine that the project is still very much working behind the scenes, though I didn't get any details. So that was good to hear. I was just surprised how it completely disappeared…

Between Cane's, Dave's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Detroit Wing Company, I think we may be getting chickened out. I'm only half joking. lol

I'm going to keep asking, but what's going on with New Vision Lansing? As soon as it was announced, the council was talking about actions to vote on accepting the money from the state literally within the week or two after the announcement, and then…

Citykid, I've been here all these years, but something just struck me, yesterday. The parking lane on the east side of Larch between Shiawassee and Saginaw continues north of Saginaw to Grand River, basically. But it appears that it hasn't been u…

They are painting and putting some of the siding on the market-rate building. Something else I'd noticed I hadn't before is that they're almost finished with the internal parking lot. But what I noticed was how low the new grade is over the previous…

It's in an overlay district that requires it to be urban in design. Remember, they'd proposed something substantial here a few years back, though the weird inclusion of a self-storage business as one of the uses on the site seemed to have (fortunate…

Yep, posted about Cooper's Hawk just above. They've already started site-prep if that clearing is what I saw recently. It's just east of McCallisters.

Missed that we had a Planning Commission meeting this week. Looks like the most notable item was the Act 33 Review for the old Center for the Arts parking lot across from the bus station: Parking Lot #1 (P1). These are the reviews that happen when t…

Looks like the media is reporting tonight that the Lansing City Rescue Mission rezoning and special land use was approved.

Ah, I see. I was searching "505 E. Shiawassee" it skipped my down to the resolution for it. lol I like what they have planned in terms of aesthetics for 505; looks really tasteful. I hope they don't plan to do to 507 what is shown. If it need…

Another relatively slow month for development-related stuff - and I'm still not seeing anything for New Vision Lansing - but there appears to be a Brownfield Redevelopment plan for the old bar and neighboring Riverfront Cycle buildings at the northe…

Oh, no doubt. Most of my comments are about how nice they look, particularly given that they aren't high-end units, and it's adding much needed affordable housing in the area. They started painting them, today, in fact. But yeah, you just wish th…

I don't expect it, at all. It will require pressuring them; they don't do anything with lines they don't have to do. With all of the street construction and other utility construction going on around that area, that they didn't put them under with a…

That makes sense! What doesn't make sense is why they'd later put it back closer unless requested.
-
No, I've not heard any mention of it.

Market-rate building from today: I really thought they were going to bury the utilities, but what happened is that they extended the height of the poles, and simply moved what I think are the BWL wires up. So, some residents will still have a…

He needs to do what Ferguson did on Red Cedar and what Gentilozzi is doing with New Vision. You'd think he'd have been reaching out over these many, many, many years the Walter Neller property and adjoining parking lot has been vacant. He certainly …

Didn't know that Hepler's website had this project up. I'll go take a look. I feel like the down districts are mostly fine. There is more than enough room in DT-3 to make things happen. DT-1 is only along the fringes, anyway, and I'm not sure if …

Citykid, between the (east of Prudden) Motor Wheels neighborhood project and what's left in the factory, do you know how many units total this will be? We know the neighborhood project is over 200 (phased in). I saw that the council approved the cha…
