Really! My wife will love that, close to our East Lansing home.

Today.
-
Possibly unrelated, but went by here today and noticed the ground covered in little flags marking water/gas/etc. Already about to start construction?
-
Oh dear. The optimistic side of me would KNOW it is going to happen because by golly that's the plan and look at all this work they've already done, of course it will happen. The pessimistic side merely hopes.
-
No, I am aware of the BRT. The pessimistic side of me is still hoping it happens - actually I see now that they updated the blog without much funfare a month ago.
-
BRT? Man I'm still trying to get a crosswalk put on Michigan Avenue somewhere between Harrison and Clippert! That development would be huge (quite literally). Wonder if I would be able to see it from my house...

Oh, I agree. Time is valuable, and more frequent service itself increases the use of public transit. Plus once you hit that "at least every 15 minutes" threshold, I think most people no longer feel obliged to look up bus schedules - they just show…
-
I did see that news! It's ironic in a way - the extension of Rt #12 is to connect both LCC campuses. The old "preferred method" for taking public transit from Main Campus to West was to take a bus out to the Lansing Mall, where you were supposed t…

Oh, I like Midtown - I like color. Wouldn't want to see it everywhere, but it makes for a unique building. Rapped on one of the colored walls and it sounded hollow, incidentally. There are cheap building materials nowadays - I don't know if you…

Well, #25 also serves that Meijer - but it does look like this would mean no route serving Eastwood from EL. Like I said, they had that promotion recently where you were supposed to ride the bus to Eastwood, and then get stickers from merchants - a…

Huh - I also see Rt 25 will no longer serve Eastwood Towne Center. Somewhat surprising (or not?) as CATA recently had a promotion to encourage people to take Rt 25 to Eastwood. And "Buses will travel Abbot, Chandler and Coleman roads to and from M…
-
Finally some official information - CATA will be extending Rt 12 to connect LCC's main and west campuses during the semester. Looks like a pretty minor change to the route (why didn't we do this a long time ago?). Students with at least one class …

Yeah, I know Lansing (and Lansing-sized cities) used to quite commonly have multiple train stations. However in the current climate, I think if both Lansing and East Lansing had an Amtrak stop they would be the two closest Amtrak stops in the count…

I heard that Grand Grillin' (so tasty) plans to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant in ReoTown this Fall, by the way.
-
Actually, I had exactly the same reaction hood. Most of the time, I would probably rather they spend 1% more to make the building appealing architecturally (which is its own kind of art), rather than on specific art purchases. Obviously much harde…
-
Development-related, anyway - "EL considers special tax to foster public art". A sort of strange tax though - 1% of the total cost of a new development will go toward public art.
-
Gasp! I do prefer the classic train station feel to the modern feel - but it's also almost impossible for anyone to build something with a truly classic feel today (unless they are a Catholic architect, it seems!), so I will certainly take this ove…
-
There it is.
-
Not quite the same thing, but speaking of interesting places - I wonder if the city will ever reopen that bridge over the railroad tracks into north-central Potter Park. If I lived in that neighborhood I would definitely want that bridge open - oth…

Actually there are several facts of interest (to me, at least) in that little editorial. Did I miss something?
