I think it would be a good idea to replace the street and traffic lights along Harrison with more attractive and efficient lights from Mt. Hope to Michigan Ave. While the traffic lights serve to slow traffic in the neighborhood it would be nice if t…

This looks to be a good thing for Lansing and MSU. The location while next to cornfields and horse pastures the site really is central to the whole Greater Lansing area. If it were not for MSU this area would have been developed long ago. I believe …

It is a big change to see those buildings gone, but no matter what is going to be built the buildings they knocked down were not really exceptional having been renovated many times similar to the bank building up the street whatever charm, history, …

The drawing depicts the area on the west side of Cedar in front of the first and second phases of the development, which is now a parking lot. I believe that there is a parking structure drawn into building further up Cedar from the corner. The corn…

As I walked by the Intrigue storefront in REOtown I noticed a depiction of the Outfield Apartments built out to the corner of Cedar and Shiawassee dated 2017. Are they going to build out the area next to the street soon? It looks "colorful" but grea…

There was a hotel at Michigan and Capitol that was called the Hotel Olds and it was the center of a lot of activity downtown. Then it was called The Jack Tar Hotel but they failed to modernize and the building was sold to the State at some point and…

It seems to me that the mayor would do better getting the Red Cedar project underway during his administration as his legacy project, rather than this city hall deal. Moving city hall to a side street on the edge of downtown does not seem like such …

It is true that I have only lived here for a couple of years but it seems like there a lot. During that time I have seen a new self-storage businesses open at the old Ford dealership on MLK and another on Hosmer. Maybe I just do not have a lot of ju…

I like the part where the owner says he did not pay his taxes because he did not like the way the city was treating him. I did not know this was a legal option. I would tend to agree that in this case, something new is better than what is there now.…

That is a great idea!

I do understand the design and orientation of the Hall of Justice, and I think it is an OK building in design. A welcoming western entrance would have been nice for the local Lansing folks who may have wanted to walk there. The idea I was trying t…

The sunken garden wall looks to be nearly complete and looks pretty nice up there in its new spot. The back wall of the garden is on the south side so it seems like if one were in the garden much of the industrial landscape view will be blocked behi…

I may be wrong! but weren't those blocks originally cleared for the Capitol Complex [is it still called that?]. It is kind of sad that these developers just sit on these properties. Back when The Hall of Justice was built, did anyone say anything ab…

add "see"!

I drove down Grand River Ave from the east for the first time since they tore down the buildings on the 100 block, and I found the open space so pleasant. I could see the whole church building next door, and it was like the campus had expanded acros…

I saw a BWL sign about some project going on at the old GM site off Michigan. I will have to slow down and read it.

No problem!

If they pull it all together it could really be something beautiful, but it is true right now that area looks bad and it a shame they cut all those trees down so early in the process. In Lansing, they often cut trees first ask questions later.

I was mainly just happy to hear they were still even talking about it. It is troubling that this October went by with nothing starting, but I am trying to be positive about it so I guess I was looking for new, news when there was none as of yet. I…

I did not know about the Ferguson move, their current site is right next to river trail and also near the building on Hazel that is being redeveloped into housing, maybe this building could be turned into housing too. The site has nice views of Elm …
