  • I can any hope that the folks in EL government will learn something from this long lesson.
  • I have thought about this area as well. I think surface lot owners should be required to fence and landscape all downtown lots. Empty or unused black top should have to be pulled up and replaced with grass after a certain time empty . Make developin…
  • Isn't this who owns the lot issue similar to the BLW substation site where one city department "owned it" and just transferred the site to another city department? They are more like Mass. out there in E.L., everyone of scores of different boards an…
  • It would be good if they could do more with the building itself. It still looks like a warehouse, and the art work on the outside walls needs to be improved, or re-done. I do like the exhibits inside. A nicer looking building and landscaping maybe w…
  • I do not know it there is enough room at these four corner intersections, and I know it's all "euro" and all but traffic circles or rotary's slow but generally do not stop traffic and are much safer for pedestrians and bikes. People live on streets …
  • Yes, there may come a day when we have too many one and two star hotels lining the outer ring of Greater Lansing. I think that could happen if we get a large number of hotel rooms in the Downtown, Michigan Ave, Gr.River Ave core. More people would w…
  • They have also planted new trees on Ionia street. It is really great to see these trees planted now I hope they will water and take care of them.
  • I noticed the new Clock Tower on the LCC campus is nearing completion. They have yet to install the clock faces, but so far it looks really nice and is a great improvement over the smoke stack/guard tower that was there for so long.
  • I have a good tree story for once! They have planted new trees in the empty spaces downtown along Kalamazoo Street by the Library and Cooley. That is the first time I have had good news regarding our trees. Yea!
  • This corner, and at Larch there should be some sort of pedestrian protection. Has anyone ever considered making these street two way again. I would guess not, but our downtown area has changed a lot since these one way street were made that way, it …
  • Is anybody making money from these buildings standing there? Why would these guys consistently undermining their own project. How about proposing a project that has the least tax brakes as opposed to the most. How about a development that makes mone…
  • It seems so crazy that this project is going one two three. yea!
  • I really think in may be time to think about slowing down the traffic on our downtown cross streets. How much longer would it take to get across town if the speed limit was lowered? Our corners should not be dangerous.
  • It seems kind of strange that they are going so far as to put on a show of the designs when this is far from a done deal.
  • I think these developers should be building some services for what will soon be even more people living downtown. Maybe they could get someone like Horrocks to run the city market and fill they place with merchandise and people.
  • That is a LCC lot, the "YMCA" pillar is on the other corner, it all looks very nice. I wish the city would require this sort of landscaping and anti-pollution surfaces for all private surface lots in the downtown area. LCC has made it's part of Capi…
  • Not a big deal, but it looks like the former detail shop on the corner of S Washington and Hazel has been rented. People were working in there and sign was down. I am wondering what might be going in there. I hope it is not a detail shop or used car…
  • Thank you for conforming my memories. It's nice to know I that I have not become a "dotard"!
  • The LSJ real newspaper had a better depiction of the new hotel can someone post that one? Doing that is above my skill level!
  • I heard on local news that they are going to put a parking lot there! They said to add parking while the new building up the block is being built. This sounds like a bad idea to me, and would seem to indicate there won't be anything built there for …
