CATA average cost per trip (to CATA) $3.49, average fare per trip $0.61: https://www.nationaltransitdatabase.org/michigan/capital-area-transportation-authority/ . (PS - Detroit People Mover is losing $9.89 per trip by that website.)

Except that the signs say "Capital Complex" instead of "Capitol Complex". Maybe the official name really is the former, but if so it shouldn't be! Looks like a spelling mistake to me and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
-
Just speaking personally I would say that Uber is probably a factor, especially for slightly more affluent CATA riders - I myself have probably been taking less CATA rides because of the ease and low-cost of Uber. (And if we compared the "real cost…

Smashy smash.

Are those state-controlled roads? I have been a broken record in East Lansing about the stupid-obvious need for pedestrian improvements along certain stretches of Michigan Avenue. Have gotten some nice talk back, but if anything have actually seen…

I made an animation of CATA's weekday bus service: https://twitter.com/david_shane/status/907451007898198016 . See following tweets for the "how" if you're curious. I did not write the program myself just slightly tweaked it and filled in some p…

I would be surprised if they make no effort to restrict access to people walking by on the sidewalk, but certainly no evidence of any gate to be installed yet.

Courtyard looking a little more finished today, was walking by again.
-
It really does feel like a development that belongs in a downtown, somehow strange where it ended up. Hopefully it prompts that area to become more downtowny.
-
The sidewalks around the building and, actually, into the courtyard (which is still unfinished) are now open, I was walking by today. Standby for photos...

IN MAJOR LANSING DEVELOPMENT NEWS... nice to see that mega-pothole-asphalt CATA stop at Frandor get a nice concrete pad.

(It changes colors.)

The under-the-bridge has been illuminated.

The nearby Mayberry single home development is also quite nice... you can certainly tell you're in new construction, that's one way to put it (unlike much of East Lansing)! Nice color choices though, sort of New England feel to them, the homes look…

Passed this now-finished DTN development in East Lansing earlier today, by the way, the "Beech Townhomes". Can't remember but I would therefore guess I was on Beech Street. Looks nice.

All that can be said is - eeeeeeek: http://eastlansinginfo.org/content/city-planning-staff-mistake-delays-blight-demolition-could-jeopardize-park-district-plans "East Lansing’s City Planning staff failed to promptly take care of critically-import…

I have used the bike lane on Saginaw! And it amuses me greatly that it ends with a "share the road" sign. Like I'm going to bike in traffic on Saginaw. Like anybody actually wants people biking in traffic on Saginaw. Often I turn as the bike lan…

Hadn't heard that about Demmer. Got to tour their plant near Old Town once (a pretty rare thing, I think), saw lots of military Hummer parts and forward-operating-base shelters under construction. Neat work. Huge, very fast and rather frightening…

I just don't believe that MichMatters - in fact, I sort of wish I could. Lansing takes in enough money to have someone pick up broken glass in Adado from time to time. If they really can't find the money for that, then they're allocating money poo…
