I love this project. A good facelift/update for the stadium, and I like how they are "urbanizing" the outfield. I'm a little sorry to see much of the lawn seating go (as it looks from the renderings), but as a whole I think this very positive. …

I agree, I miss the Civic Center. Granted, I don't know much about it, I moved to the area in 1997. I grew up near Saginaw (and their Civic Center/Dow Event Center is one of the bright spots of downtown). I don't imagine that we'll see a new aren…

Regarding the schools, correct, most of the extreme south end of the city - south of Dell Road - is Holt School District.

The headline, I think, speaks for itself: Developer pulls Trowbridge Plaza revamp plan East Lansing Disappointing that the project - whatever the original or in a modified form - apparently won't happen. (Unless another developer comes forward?)

Some may have already noticed, but FYI, there is an updated Marketplace web site: Marketplace Lansing It provides a decent view of the floorplans, etc. I was not able to download the brochure (the link may not have been working).

I agree completely, and would much rather see buildings/storefronts/apts along Cedar St, rather than a large parking lot. Something similar to the Stadium District, as you mentioned. Since Marketplace is being built in phases, rather slowly, I'd h…

Marketplace construction site photos taken Sunday, November 10 Taken from Shiawassee Street bridge (facing south): from City Market Place Drive (facing north): from City Market Parking Lot (facing east): Not huge progress, but …

Brick rendered? I don't know, part of the building (light gray) looks suspiciously like vinyl siding. I too wish the site plan was more like the Stadium District, where the 4-5 story building faces the road, bottom floor retail, with parking beh…

A good rebuttal, I think, to the October 10 LSJ article mentioned above. I tend to agree more with this letter: Lansing downtown Sure Lansing and its downtown has a long way to go and does need work. More mid/high rises are needed, more peop…

I agree, I'd like to see more infill/density near downtown, rather than more parking lots. I saw the headline the other day and began reading the article with a lot of interest. But the article itself doesn't seem to say too much, other than menti…

Updated marketplace renderings. Due to the slope of the land, the building appears 4 stories from the parking lot side, I believe the 5th/bottom floor will be visible from the City Market. Marketplace rendering

Good catch, I did notice that too. Interesting is that there is no mention of that location yet on the MSUFCU web site. The new Mason branch is under construction (southside of Mason near Kipp Rd/Cedar St) and is listed in the locations section ('…

Interesting column comparing Lansing and Gd Rapids downtowns. Though much of it we've heard before. Downtowns Some thoughts: Not sure how much the suburban malls are affecting Lansing's downtown (granted Knapp's etc closed years ago)? While…

Good eye on the Stadium Road thing... In looking at the current map (and my recollection of campus) it has largely been replaced by sidewalk. A portion of what used to be Stadium Road still exists on the east side of the stadium but it is essentia…

A couple links on the Trowbridge Road extension on to MSU. Trowbridge extension 1 Trowbridge extension 2 Trowbridge extension 3 They do not specifically mention the 3-way intersection that used to exist on Harrison Road just north of Trowbri…

Old MSU campus maps click on the '1955, Michigan State College Campus - Back' map and zoom in. The Trowbridge/Harrison intersection was similar to that until approx the late 1990s. I'll try to find something more recent. I recall Birch Road di…

Trowbridge Rd, from the west, used to end at Harrison Rd. Approx 1/8 mile north on Harrison, a road began running east onto campus (it might have been called Birch Road). So essentially there were two 3-way intersections on Harrison Rd very close …

Yes, Grand Ave is not the most impressive gateway into downtown - Grand Tower excluded. The first several blocks north of I-496 - especially along Grand Ave (as it is the "downtown" exit along westbound 496), and along Pine/Walnut streets are under…

I'm happy to see the Trowbridge Plaza being planned for redevelopment. My main questions about the project are what you stated well. The layout of the area (496 alignment, Trowbridge/Harrison intersection) makes any development along Trowbridge Ro…

Absolutely, I agree with you. In driving by Marketplace today on my way home, I saw more activity at the site. I remember with the Capitol Club, thinking great they have a web site now, it may mean progress... Certainly the difference here is tha…
