I was reading that the new mayor is planning to announce some "exciting new projects" that will get underway in 2018, in a February 8th speech. I wonder if it will be about long-planned developments actually starting or maybe something new we have n…

I do know that recessions come in cycles, however, we happen to be in a global economy that is still expanding, with places like the African continent being included in development plans by China and the E.U. while they are still expanding their own…

This space it trying to shack its jinx, and it is a very good sign that they are not planning some temporary use of that land. I will hope for some contemporary interesting design that will guarantee this development's success and make a bold statem…

I wonder why you think that a recession is on the way? I could see some issues with GM figuring out how to grow in the coming years. I have seen reports of the overall world economy as continuing to grow in future as more people around the world are…

I will hope for the best, but like you say, we should wait until it actually has funding plans and shovels in the ground before we celebrate. This company seems like real estate holders, not developers sometimes. We have seen a lot of these projects…

Thank you for the inside view of the new city government. I often wonder about politicians and their reasons for being. It would seem obvious for a city council person in Lansing to be pro-development. To have goals like getting marijuana out of Lan…

The bookstore was about the only store I shopped at Eastwood. Now there is not much reason to go there for except the movies. It would be great if they relocated downtown, or Michigan Ave maybe.

The "Y" development seems like it is going to happen this spring according to the LSJ.com. They are still showing the older "multi-capped" building design, which does not look like there is a large retail/commercial space on the ground floor, as was…

I am sorry to hear Ms. Woods is a conservative, I will try not to let that diminish my view of her too much! I am hoping for a general comity to be the way these folks conduct themselves with new council members and a new major. Why have factions? L…

That is interesting information. Would you say that Ms. Wood has good reasons to oppose development? I just wonder why would anyone oppose development in Lansing? Maybe it was her verse Virg and she will like Andy better. Ms. Wood is always the only…

Out in San Francisco, as I'm sure in other places, they have airport shuttle services that will pick you up at your home but also stops and picks up three or four other passengers before heading to the airport. I think that a bus ride sharing kind o…

I wrote today, that was a good catch, I'm glad someone from Ann Arbor was not the one who points that out.

I had not noticed that. Capitol does refer a building and Capital refers to a place as in Capital City. The Capitol Building is in the Capital City, so you are right it should be Capitol Complex because it is the Capitol Building's complex! This is …

Thank you for that information, I had wondered about that private bus running through campus. Compared to the recession, the price of gas is relatively cheap these days, when it was up around $4 a gallon lots of people parked the car and took the …

That is so great that you use your bike so much. Do you ride the streets? Most are so bad. I do see a lot of people using the bike racks on the buses and just riding bikes on S.Washinton Ave. I think part of an overall transportation plan it would i…

I see, the image is a problem and I agree with you. It's is not what I say, about folks who ride the bus or even the people themselves who do ride the bus. I think it is a stigma from people who do not ride the bus, how would they know who rides the…

I hope my ideas and comments do not come off as bashing CATA. I was kind of brainstorming ideas to increase ridership. Just yesterday I overheard some saying he doesn't take the bus because of the "kind" of people he meets riding the bus. Changing t…

The new mayor was on wilx news last night saying that getting the City Hall project underway will be one of his first priorities. He said it will be so exciting to have a first class hotel right across from the Capitol. Looks like he is"all in" on t…

It would seem fairly easy to have through buses that just stop at the transportation center, allowing passengers to stay on the same bus if they want to ride further past the center. I could see routes that go to outlying bus stop hubs and never eve…

I drove down Willow yesterday and saw the elevator tower and the first walls of the new apartment buildings are going up at The School for The Blind site. I think it is interesting that these new buildings around town are mainly wood-framed structur…
