Now that winter has begun in January I wonder about the city's snow plowing efforts. I often see one truck seemingly at random going down a street[ never ours! the one block of W. Hazel]. I also see the city plowing the sidewalks on the Aurelius Roa…

Thank you that is what I was thinking, but I wonder why they still have for sale signs if Urban Systems already owns this lot?
-
It may be just a change in a company name but I noticed new for sale signs on the REOtown sign lot at M.X. and S. Washington. There have been for sale signs there all along while they have been working on the hotel and apartments planned for this sp…

Very cool building very industrial location seems like they will be big apartments. Not my idea of a good spot for apartments but there must be a market for this or they would not be renovating this building. It is amazing the detail and design for …

The Grand and Red Cedar are both frozen over in REOtown, I have never seen this happen before! I turned into Washington Park to check out the ice rink. At first, I could not really tell where the rink was, there where some truck parked in the area t…

Thank you for some interesting ideas!

I understand that the area depicted is just one part of the park, I am just concerned that this is a good investment of private money. I love Lansing, this is where I chose to live, but sometimes it seems like when we have some money to create somet…

Yes, it is an improvement, and I do like the concept I'm just not sure who is going to be sitting there or when these tables will be full of people. Perhaps if a hotel were to be built where the City Market is or something like that would populate t…

I wonder what you all think about the design for Rotary Park? I am trying to like it but it kind of looks like an outdoor seating area for a restaurant in this area of the new park. I don't know about the maintenance plan but I think those tables an…

There is a drawing of the new brewery on one of these pages, it's painted a cream white with big windows. There is a lot of space so they could do many things inside, I think an outdoor area is planned as well It looks like the key shop is moving a…

I noticed the same thing, I even said wow they are using steel! A little further down the street I also noticed the afternoon shadow over E.Michigan Ave cast by The Avenue building, everywhere else on the street had thawed out in the sun but not on …

The one-way system works OK in Manhattan if you are going uptown or downtown but cross-town can be a real pain. Like, say when you come in from Laguardia you can find yourself in a taxi cab for a very long time. If I was anywhere close to my destina…

It's OK MJ your thoughts are not crazy, I think everyone who reads this blog is frustrated with the pace of some of these things. It is hard to understand just what is holding things up or why someone would end up building a cheap ugly building. Thi…

I like the brainstorming about this site. I have been thinking about this project that seems to be stalled and wishing they would get it going before another economic downturn comes along thanks to that fellow in DC. The current plan is not "that ba…

I think a bigger impact could be made on the Oakland Saginaw and Larch Cedar corridors. Although they are State highways they do not carry the volume of traffic they once did and could carry today's traffic on two-way streets without much trouble. I…

This is good news. They could build a whole new neighborhood in that space. I hope for a high-quality development perhaps a Town Center-type plan but with higher density and a more urban layout the Eastwood. I wish they would also buy out the strip …

There is a nice photo of this building when it was new on the Lansing History facebook page. It was never a flashy design not bad just not very interesting.
-
Yes, the trees there are really nice, the Oct. 2016 google pictures have some autumn color. Now that I look at more at this the building is situated well in its spot and the parking lot even has some nice trees. I think with the improvements I will …

Some of the pages read proposed for "Meridian Township" Michigan. No big deal to me but wrong.

You bought a Cadillac! thank you very much "here's your Buick" it looks almost the same doesn't it?! I am really disappointed to hear that the city may not be able to "force" the developer to deliver same buildings they "sold" the city. It seems kin…
