There are so many things CATA could do to improve ridership. 24-hour service on the busiest routes might be a place to start. I am not sure how they could do this, but I think folks around here feel like the only reason to ride the bus is that you d…

I have noticed new signage all around downtown, providing directions to the different districts of downtown. They are nice, clean and modern looking. Now they should take down the older signs that point the way to places like the Woman's History Mus…

Wow, when did they propose this building? So much better. I thought it was a drawing of a building proposed for another city. No, it is a drawing of what they are not going to build in Lansing. It is kind of depressing to turn back to what they are …

I agree that the old building is better than this new design. The developers keep saying the Y building is unsuitable for redevelopment. I think that most of the upper floors were hotel-like rooms, which would seem to be easily reconfigured, and hav…

At the substation, they are starting to build the foundations for the "Great Wall" and the substation itself. Looks like they will keep rolling along through the winter as there are many workers on site even in bad weather. The hill looks higher tha…

I agree with your thoughts on the design. Maybe this is dated and they will revisit the design. Seems like I saw this drawing a few years ago. As folks here may know I really hate those roof caps or whatever they call them. I think they make a build…

I like your hopeful ideas. They have "landscaped" a few areas that were once blacktop so they do have a sense of doing this sort of thing. The lots could be done it in such a way that if they needed the land again it could be easily redeveloped.

There was the usual ominous note in the announcement for the West Side Project, it mentions "tree trimming" as one of the first things they are going to do. I was wondering where are these trees?

Never let them put down a parking lot there! It will take 35 years to remove it! Plant grass!
-
I was also speaking in terms of "wouldn't it be great if they did" about the riverfront parking lots and a Lansing made products display. There was a "showroom" but that was when Olds division actually could do different things somewhat independentl…

I wonder if the plan is to demolish the BWL buildings in the Hazel Street area? Empty warehouse type buildings are not what the neighborhood needs.
-
That is a great idea. Back in the day, Olds had plant tours and a small showroom at Logan Street [MLK] and Olds Ave. I might be wrong but I think that employees could buy a car there. The area that you mention was once a park called Elm Street Park,…

Thanks, I was wondering what reinforcement meant.

Despite the "sunken garden" deal, I am proud of our power company and their plan to end coal burning. I wonder what will replace their facilities at the Eckert site and over at Penn. and Hazel maybe parkland? I always hated smelling creosote at the …

It is not unusual to encounter a "crazy person" on S.Washington! I can understand your confusion! I moved my car to a parking ramp and walked home to find it was all over. It all seems kind of strange that they had about thirty police some in full …

That would be a great sight to see, East Grand River lined with cranes. If it went on to the Red Cedar project we'd look like a boom town around here. Is the Park District project totally dead?
-
It was kind of crazy around here last night. There was a drone looking into the apartment below mine, and swat teams in the stairwell with huge machine guns. Seeing both of those things was a first for me. I think they were worried about this guy, t…

This is a REOtown development! There are six or seven cop cars and a prisoner van outside my building right now! They have the street blocked off as well!
-
Maybe the REO museum and local dealers could fund a display of locally produced vehicles as a placemaking project, that says Lansing is a place that builds and makes things. This could include Spartan Motors and anything we make in Greater Lansing.

On the Capitol, I noticed that they have entirely surrounded the building with a fence and are digging up part of the front lawn. I assume it is part of the geothermal well project. Are there plans for the re-landscaping of the lawn that have been p…
