Thanks for the information, I am looking forward to watching these projects being built. BTW campus was really beautiful these past days with many trees and flowers blooming. The flowering trees in front of Dem. Hall framing Sparty are extra pretty …

In other digging news, crews are digging up the outdoor swimming pool behind the IM West. It's kind of sad as it was such a great place for summer term students to hang out. I guess the only pool at MSU will be in the IM East. I was a swimmer and li…

This is an interesting plan, they say that Lansing needs housing so this looks to be a good plan. I was downtown today and took a look at the Hillsdale and Capitol Ave. project [Capital View?] and it looks pretty nice, better exterior treatments th…

There is land excavating and lots of fencing around the Farm and Shaw site. I was wondering what is going on in front of the MSU Auditorium, lots of digging there too.

I noticed what looks to be a staging area was set up this week in front of the MUS Auditorium this week. Also, a sign noting the closing of the lot in front of the West IM. Looks like these projects are getting ready to start soon.

Thanks, I guess I missed the earlier explanation. Seeing the drawings helped.

Thanks for posting this information, now when I walk by the Farm Lane Bridge, I can understand the removal of all the trees and greenery in that area. It does seem a bit strange to see the plan for building a pedestrian bridge right there next to th…

I noticed that the lot on the corner of Hillsdale and S Washington has been paved and marked for parking spaces. Kind of disappointing.

MSU has removed all the trees from the Farm Lane and Shaw Lane green space where a new student organization building is going to be built. The trees were not very large, but it is always kind of shocking to see for the first time. One thing about MS…

I don't know where the '09 pavement is? I would like to see the street leveled to a small curb or even no curb, the brick work seems to be very old perhaps from the early last century. I could be wrong about that, but I think it should all be remove…

The exterior finishes are being applied to the west side hotel on Michigan Avenue. Nice enough so far, not very inspiring however, shades of grey panels, may look good when finished. At the "intersection" on the east side of Frandor/Skyview it looks…

The construction of new apartment buildings on Cedar [Ballpark North?] was well underway as I drove by yesterday. There were already poured foundation walls and lots of excavation going on. The new building site on Shiawassee was also busy with two …

Thanks for the information on that building. It is a nice enough looking building but seems small for most proposes. If I remember correctly, it was one of the first "modern" buildings on the block, though I cannot remember what was there before, i…

I was asking about the S. Washington Ave Block.

I wonder why the 1960's small brick office building has not been part of the redevelopment of this block. It has not been occupied for many years.

There is an interesting artical in the City Pulse about the redevelopment of the S. MLK Blvd. and the Logan Square. It includes the history of the shopping center. I am actually "old"! enough to remember when it opened. [and the elephant escape! Poo…

I tend to like graffiti art vs. tagging, I suppose the students would redecorate the area if it were to be covered over. It's cool I understand but it cost a lot of money to remove. I was over there yesterday it was so nice to see so many people out…

The trees and undergrowth were removed from the northwest side of the riverbank, next to the Farm Lane underpass. I have found that this is a part of a riverbank renovation and renewal project. Not part of the new building project. Most the greenery…

This looks really nice. I was not expecting the road and bridge improvements. They removed trees and shrubs on the north bank of the Red Cedar, I was wondering why, looks like some improved landscaping will be going in that area. I won't miss the gr…

I checked out the Lansing Shuffle the other day. The renovations are pretty nice, [imo] it could use a little warming up in the seating area and some sort of panels or dropped ceilings that would hide the pole barn look better. I did like the restau…
