I think there could be a truck haul route to the landfill/concrete factories and using access from N. East Street/old 27 up from Lansing and down from I-69. Get at least some of those trucks off of Lake Lansing Road.

I voted for Welcoming Hands, I think it is interesting to look at and would not block the view of the Capitol. There is a depiction in a light blue as well as red so maybe it can change colors or we can choose any color. I think we have a giant head…

Yes, it is not very exciting. To me it seems dated. I'm hoping the 500 block, of S.Washington, will be a more interesting and better-designed development. The Urban Systems people seem more interested in creating a building that is worthy of its ad…

I agree, the drawings I have seen look uninspired in that "it's good enough for Lansing" kind of way. I really hate that! Are these drawing depicting the project today? It seems like these drawings are a couple of years old. We can always hope for b…

This is a huge area, are they in the process of moving out? I noticed they seem to be cleaning up the pole-yard right next to the trail. There is a huge communications tower in the middle of that lot, seems like that would have to be moved before an…

I have answered my own question, I saw workers repaving the entire River Trail near the Elm Street bridge yesterday. I know it is terribly nerdy but seeing this made me so happy! Sometimes it is discouraging to wait so long to see these projects sta…

I think that this developer would be open to ideas about this project. There are many parking lots in Lansing that have the best view of the river. I know this is the way Lansing was built, the rivers were the outback for dumping and industrial use …

This is a great sight! How long have they been talking about doing this since '06?

Over here on the REOtown section of the trail, they have begun rebuilding the collapsed bank near GM and the trail is closed there. They have also replaced many cedar planks on all the bridges in this area. I am wondering if they are rebuilding real…

I agree that this route seems not right, they could call this train route "The Hipster" service from fancy Ann Arbor to fancy Traverse City/Petoskey! I bet Governor Snyder would be on the first train. This route reminds me of the roads up there, t…

I have been reading about a plan for high-speed rail service between Ann Arbor and Traverse City. This sounds like a great idea but the planned route bypasses Lansing to the east. It seems like Durand is the place this new route will cross the CN tr…

Over at Quentin Park, two baseball fields are being installed in the open area next to Barnes Ave... This was an open area that was used for softball, "peewee" football and ice skating in the old days. I think it is great that they are doing somethi…

Thank you for posting this. I was last there about 40 years ago so I remembered the fountain but not how it worked! Looks kind of cool with the reflections on the marble wall, for some reason we like building fountains but then have a hard time main…

Rebuilding and taming W. Saginaw/Oakland from underground up, all the way from Frandor to Grand Ledge would be a great thing for Greater Lansing. It is a state highway so perhaps a regional plan could be funded by the state. That is the corridor I c…

They seem quite similar to the busses we have now maybe with rounded edges. The last time I remember a big change in bus design that I thought was cool and futuristic was when CATA went from the old 60's style chrome paneled buses to the sleek all w…

Looks like fun It's cool the kept the bank vault and the mid-century modern feel. I think that The Bank of Lansing built that building, many of their branch buildings were nicely designed.

This is so interesting, first JFK going down Michigan Ave. in a convertible Olds did not seem to cause much of a reaction from the folks of that day. Also in these classic photos, Downtown looks full of buildings and businesses of all kinds. I do re…

It seems like Forest Road will also be the most direct ambulance route as well. I have not seen any depictions of the planned routes or entrances to the hospital, are they planning on using Dunkel?
-
The news about "The Wing" is very interesting. These guys are for real it would seem. I think the location will be challenging and I think that that is what the developers are looking for [as in people will want to live Here?!} and the fact this inv…

I was just on Forest Road [this is how I avoid Mt Hope which is falling apart at the east end], I was thinking that this street is going to become quite busy. I could see curbing and a sidewalk and bike lane on one side and a couple of stop signs to…
