I heard on local radio news that the mayor is holding a news conference today about the City Hall project, the headline of the story was "Is the City Hall Project coming to a sketching stop"!... I wonder what's up?

Art's Bar on Kalamazoo is looking good with the new windows and doors on the building. Looks like they will have an outdoor patio with a big overhead door in front.

I think the case in Boston is that the new growing Seaport area is on a peninsula across the harbor from downtown, with traffic choke points at the bridges. Go over those points without adding more traffic to the street level is the idea. It was jus…

Yes, it is a Dollar General, as there is a Family Dollar up the street the has to be a Dollar General within five blocks. I think it's a law:}

The LSJ wrote that they are taking another look at building a new courthouse and police facility behind the current courthouse [formerly Auto Owners] building. There is a half block wide parking lot there so there would be room if they build up some…

I am wondering about the water features, will they go dry during dry spells, or are they uncovering flowing water [underground stream]? I could see all this not looking so great during a drought. This may have been noted in the drain commission's pl…

Thanks so much for linking this page, I am very excited to see this become a reality. Much better depictions!

I saw an interesting idea being proposed in Boston on the boston.com page. They are considering building an overhead gondola "ski style" cable car system that will connect the expanding Sea Port District[South Boston] with Downtown. The traditional …

Don't get me started on trees! I am sorry to hear about East Lansing. I think I was traumatized as a kid [for more than one reason!] when they cut down all the American Elms starting in the late 60's. Park Avenue was lined with these huge Elms the…

I could see this exact building on the Lake Trust block!

I am very happy to hear that they are are making plans to improve the downtown riverfront.The public/private funding is not really encouraging, but it seems like some companies have already pledged funds so maybe it will work. I hope this is a chanc…

It is interesting to think about how downtown Lansing would be different if the University were located downtown, or if East Lansing had a layout that surrounded the campus as do many campus towns. I think this is the site to consider such thoughts …

The Bats [and people] could have enjoyed those trees another few years I guess, it does seem like the trees are the first thing developers here get rid of. If they went on to build the project as planned back when they cut those trees it would have …

When I look at the recent flood pictures I can see where this cove or pond may be, it looks like an area already cleared of trees or did not have any to start with.
-
I think and hope you are right about the depictions they might be just computer drawn ideas of where the buildings will be located. I was more hopeful about the project after reading the City Pulse article, with the interview of the developer. After…

You can find that article at Curbed Detroit.

I read about a very interesting project called The Great Lakes Hyperloop. Cleveland to Chicago in 28 minutes! Via a tube with magnetic levitation "trains". Let's get Lansing in that loop!

I like the fast track, have you seen any drawings or plans?
-
I like the City Pulse article, it presented the whole concept in greater detail. It seems like these developers are very determined to make this happen. Along with the drain commissioner's very hopeful description of waterfalls streams gardens parks…

I now have greater "expectations" for the drain project. I think that will be more transformative, and benefit the surrounding areas making the land [like Sears and Sawyer's] more desirable for development. They have built buildings in Lansing that …
