Thank you for providing an in-depth look at this issue, and I find your points reassuring. I find it kind of amazing that this project's false start [cutting down all trees] was so long ago that there folks here who never saw what it looked like as …

I took a bone-rattling trip to the PO on Collins Rd. and then to Bell's Pizza, [huge car eating potholes everywhere!] from Bells I could get a good view of The Hub. It looks huge but seems to be fitting into its space. There a lot of big windows whi…

Yes, the building looks better now, a newer picture from 2017 is on googlemaps.com. They have removed the modern panels above the entrance and renovated the old storefront. I believe that the renovation is still going on. Are there any photos of Dar…

The brewery project on S.Washington has new overhead-style glass doors replacing the original window frames on the street front. It looks good but I would have rather they'd replaced the original windows at least on the second floor in their frames …

This project[roof top expansion] has been under construction for at least a year. I have not seen the siding, but it looks like a there would be a great view from up there.

I was very happy to see that they have emptied the junk and collection of old trucks, cars, and construction equipment from the parking lot next to the building at W. Barnes Ave, and S. Washington Ave... It had really gotten bad in recent weeks I'm …

Seniors and students! Oh no! Seems like people in East Lansing would be used to them by now. The way they use zoning as a tool to discriminate against certain groups or classes of people seems wrong even while understanding people always resist chan…

Good news that GM is planning on building the model Cadillac here at the Grand River Plant. I was surprised to hear that it would be a passenger car, not an SUV or crossover. I guess that GM to still wants to build cars, so there still must be a mar…

I have said here before that I am skeptical about this part of the park. Hey, it could be a great success but this feature will require consent maintenance to be one. I have not been to the city beach in Detroit, do people use it? what does it look …

I find a little hard to believe that an abandoned mobile home park/green space was the reason people choose to live over there, or that the handicapped will be trapped in their homes if the build a street link through the dead ends. It's true that t…

It seems like the new city administration has a better attitude about these issues. I would like them to place a nicer looking gate at the entrance to the new drive. The one they have installed looks a high-security gate for a restricted area. The n…

I heard the end of a radio news program Sunday am in which a fellow from I assume to be from Urban Systems [I think that's the company name] talking about the developments they are planning for the Lake Side block and beyond. I only caught the end o…

This all seems haphazard in the way the city plans road repairs/repaving. Pine St. has about six different surface conditions from newly paved to very poor potholes across whole lanes. This seems crazy to me. The same thing on Mt. Hope, now with poo…

Now I understand this better, thanks for posting. It seems that its economics over interesting attractive design in most of these buildings. I may be mistaken but it looks like the sticks they are using for the EL highrises are metal, used it the sa…

That is true! I think it would be appropriate for big corporations like GM and Granger for instance to help pay for the roads and highways that lead to their businesses. Here in Lansing, it has been reported the only 60% of our roads are in good con…

I am hoping that the US and Michigan governments will finally come to the understanding that infrastructure development is one of the most important things that the government does. Private companies don't build sewers and airports on their own. I h…

Great news, that building is really an eyesore right now. I think it is great fun and interesting to watch these buildings, one by one, businesses and developers are finding new uses for buildings that seemed beyond usefulness. The southside is were…

I take from this information that the stormwater is going into the river directly, I just have not noticed the points where these drains enter the river downtown. I have noted where the Frandor drain gushes up and enters the Red Cedar just south of …

I got a new bike for Christmas which I know jinxes the spring weather, but once it turns nice I will take a bike tour to see the campus, some of the features are in place I believe.

After all the water news from Michigan, it is disappointing that our Capital City is still a huge polluter of the Grand River. I am confused about the statement that most pollution occurs between the damns. Does the storm drain go the treatment pl…
