It will be nice to have a lot of the highway traffic off the surface streets even though the project has yet to be totally finished. When I lived in REO-town detours of 496 would raise the noise and pollution levels very noticeably.

The I-496 project has finished and although I have not been down that way myself the LSJ says the highway has reponed. I will have to check it out form my trip to Horrocks.

The view from these new apartments is really great, with the huge windows. I hope they clean the cement exterior walls; I am not crazy about the ceilings they look like they are not finished. However, that is just my opinion, it is really great to s…

Sorry! I was mistaking Rutter Park for Ranny Park! I would not mind seeing an ice rink there, but if it is going to be a tiny square of ice like at City Hall, it will not attract many people. It might be nice to have an iced path going around the fo…

I guess they could put it in the parking lot behind the ball field, skating on on of the frozen ponds would be nice, but the weather these days it may not get cold enough for thick ice on the pond. I did see folks skating on the large pound behind t…

Crews have been installing the window walls on the credit union building, they look really nice, and the building is looking like a proper downtown office building.

There is an artical in the LSJ.com [pay] about some MSU owned land in Clinton County that is being marketed for development of a simi-conductor chip manufacturing plant. The land is in Eagle Township, and in the envisioned concept they talk of the d…

There is an artical in the LSJ.com about the redevelopment of Valley Court Park. I like the plan and I would enjoy having a pavilion for the farmers market, it can get really hot out there.

The red brick façade on the credit union building is going up quickly, and it looks good and a nice contrast to the dark charcoal bricks of the northside "monolith" wall. I also like the curve that bends down the west side, there could have been jus…

Not big news, however the have installed the new fence along the Red Cedar and it looks very nice. They did not need to remove many trees so it looks like it may have always been there.

There is an interesting artical about the old West Saginaw downtown district in the City Pulse this week. I was just over there checking out some homes for sale and noticed a sold sign on the old furniture storefront. Seems like a few things are goi…

I like this building more than I thought I would. It fits well into its space, looks like Silicon Valley in Cali.
-
I heard a radio news report that stated the funds for the Walter French project have been approved, which is great news. It will be good to see the building full of people and activities.

The construction of the new fence next to the Red Cedar River has begun, I was happy to see the ugly cyclone fencing taken down, I would guess that the new fencing will be like the black bar fence on Michigan Ave.
-
I think that ELPD needs to have a large but not aggressive presence on weekends and game days. If people, see and know there are a lot of police on the streets maybe they would keep their guns out of their drunken fights after the bars close. More p…

The renovation of the storefront on Grand River next to the Jackson [Jacobson's} building has started, I remember the plan was for a two-story building with a bar-restaurant and a games room? upstairs. It is good to see this vacant property being de…

I could see a recreation facility, how about a glass elevator to the top of the stacks, maybe some sort of restaurant and observation deck in the sky up there! The site is not that isolated, there is a two-lane bridge, and I could see GM perhaps all…

I watched an interesting report on the YouTube channel "The B1-M" about the renovation of the Battersea Power Station in London. [The one on the cover of the Pink Floyd Album]. It made think of our Ekert Station and the possibilities for a smaller s…

I took a look at two projects the other day, the new apartment building on the REOTOWN sign site has some wooden framing starting, it looks like there will be no basement level. Over on Holmes Street the school renovation is progressing, it may have…

It is great that we need more hotel rooms in Greater Lansing, I guess I just think what those views must be like for new visitors, I might think "what kind of a place it this?". I do understand the economics of the site, the growing market for exte…
