I have not thought about the signal lights being on over head wires, except when I see them swinging in the wind. It seems like Delta Twsp. agrees and they have mounted the lights on huge steel poles. It is interesting to me that out of town people …

I noticed a new house going up on Elm Street in REOtown! It looks like a larger version of the "tiny house" craze that you see on TV. I wonder if it is the land bank building the house. They built a new house over in my old neighborhood on Park Ave.…

I agree that it is such a seemingly simple solution to the whole thing would be put it in the parking lot. This fantasy about how wonderful the substation is going to be is kind of insane, they could have saved all the money from wrecking the garden…

Are you saying that is what is hoped for or what they are planning? All of these taller buildings are really going to change "Old E. Grand River Ave". From a college town downtown with one or two story builds to a more modern urban district part of …

That was well said. I agree that GM in particular has in the past "encouraged" Lansing to pull up the street car tracks. I think and hope the day will pass when we don't have to think "what about the cars" and give some of our city back to humans. O…

I agree, I think they should just cut Meridian Twsp. out of the plan.

I sent in my "ideas" I had to download it print, scan,then e-mail. I should have just taken it over next door!

That is a great idea, I hate how they have Sears sitting in the middle of a crumbling parking lot, I'm not surprised it is not doing well. I am wondering about two more areas that would seem to be right in the middle of the Red Cedar/ Frandor deve…

It seems kind of unbelievable because up the street those buildings still sit. That would be something to see if both projects got started at the same time along with the Red Cedar project, there may be a lot cranes in the eastern sky soon I hope.

I guess this is my BLW against nature update. I was again amazed at the size of the trees that are being destroyed by this utility cut project, this time at Potter Park. While visiting the zoo I noticed huge logs laying along the fence by the tracks…

They have a slide presentation on the LSJ web site with more depictions. I have to say I like that it seems to be a different architect[than the one in REOtown] drawing this up!

This looks pretty great, I think a dense urban development in this block of downtown E.L. is the way to go. I do have some concern about traffic, but the overall plan looks good and the idea of a major grocery store is something a lot of people have…

Gambling is an entertainment game, but can become an addiction for some people. The plan as it is now would give money back, and provide hospitality industry jobs which is more than that area is providing now. I am thinking the mix of people would b…

I am sure that it is money and the lack of any reason to do something better, they just plug in a building that is the same highway exit design they build everywhere. I guess we have to be satisfied with "it's better than what was there" statement t…

Why don't they just pave the whole thing and get the pain over with! Then we could call it one of the longest and ugliest strips of concrete and black top in the country, complete with abandoned buildings full of junk that you can look at through th…

If you have not already read it, the story about the trail improvements coming this year in the City Pulse is very interesting. I think they are saying that much of the river trail will be repaved like the Hawk Island loop is now. That loop right n…

I am in with it would benefit downtown. It takes a lot of people to man an operation like that 24-7. Those people would be a new part of the downtown economy along with casino players. I think the urban site could be very busy and extra busy on hom…

You may have already noticed but they have wrapped the Scott House in appropriate black. I am now just going to try not to look up there anymore.
-
Yes, I am being optimistic wishing they will build something that we will want to look at for a very long time. I may be wrong but doesn't the Greektown Casino have street front shops and fast food restaurants along Monroe Ave. with the casino hall …

I am happy to hear that they are opening a coffee shop there. I think these folks will have a good business there, they have a successful shop on Michigan Ave. I thought the name Crafty Palette was the former businesses first and biggest problem. Th…
