Incidentally - way back when, I mentioned that CATA was going to begin providing service to LCC's West Campus, according to some West Campus faculty members I spoke to. LSJ's editorial today is the first media mention I have seen of that fact: http…

I wonder if "apartments" could mean condos, or if it really does mean for rent only. So many rentals in East Lansing. So many.

If you're talking about the parking lot I'm thinking of... I don't like it either, but I also don't think I'd like another building so close to the Capitol. It should be... you should be led up to the Capitol in grand fashion. Some good landscapin…

Huh, "unobstructed view" is an interesting way to word the request. New construction would be cool.

It is nice to see local companies doing well. Especially when they're downtown. (I did just learn today that New York Burrito is closing / has closed. Sadness. I think last time I was in there, actually, they were complaining that there were t…

I found the just-released "Tri-County Hazard Mitigation Plan" interesting not for the hazard part, but for its future population projections (which are, presumably, just taken from somewhere else). East Lansing (within Ingham county) 2005 populatio…

You know, I sent a letter to one of the EL councilman a while back just to say that I really don't like the veto power residents seem to have over developments in their neighborhoods. Yes, I get that you probably moved there because you liked the w…

Right, the fact that it is on otherwise-idle land is a redeeming feature. But the average American home uses about 11 MWh per year - so the array can only power about 6, not 50. From what I've read, 50 was the original expectation, and about 500 M…

You know, I try not to criticize it, because something is generally better than nothing - but I seriously do not understand why LBWL wants to expand their solar facilities. The output of the Cedar Street array is so miniscule I can only conclude we…

I like the lights on the walls with no visible source.

Random question here - I think it would be cool to see some photos of our condominium building while it was under construction. The building is Brentwood Park Condominiums in East Lansing, and it was only finished in 2003. A while back I emailed t…

A skybridge! I would love more connections between the buildings downtown too - I don't care if they're above or below ground. I just don't want to go outside when it's -10 out.

I heard about the CATA route from another faculty member at the meeting of an LCC committee I'm on - I got the impression it was announced at a meeting at West Campus (they need the shuttle much more than the downtown campus, obviously), but I have …

You persuaded me to go back and look at the notes I made about a year ago when we took the tour. I wrote down, "The plant was built in 1973, and there is land set aside directly adjacent to build another mirror image of the plant - it was thought …
-
One thing we learned when we toured the East Lansing / Meridian water conditioning plant, which I believe was built in the 70s, was that they left room on the site to double the size (and capacity) of the plant in the future - as I recall the 1970s …

You know, I was thinking the same thing the other day - CATA when I first moved to Lansing three years ago, and CATA today, are pretty much the same CATA. The line connecting LCC's two main campuses is a no brainer. This is a bit selfish of me sin…
-
Guess there is no CATA thread - but I heard yesterday that there is going to be a new CATA route providing hourly service between LCC's Main and West Campus. I've wanted this for basically the whole time I've lived here - and apparently so have man…
-
Agree with pretty much all your comments - but one saving grace here might be the creation of a second hotel downtown, which is desperately needed. If the right tenant moves in...

I'm also quite surprised at how small the new station seems to be in maps - smaller than the current, already too-small station? My other concern - which I cannot seem to get anyone to answer - is whether the new station will have interior seating …
