At the Lansing Center are they talking about the area with the gazzebo-like thing over to the area in front of the City Market. That will be nice, as that area is not really used by people other than to pass through. There is also a green space betw…

I drove by the Eastern High site yesterday, and I saw that they had cut down all the trees [of course they always do] and there was the trunk of one laying on its side that must have been 8 to 10 foot across! It would have to be over 100 years old t…

This is a great plan! I am confused about whether it is just a plan or are they going to start building this soon? I am hoping that this plan along with the upstream improvements to the river banks is not going to be entirely dependent upon private …

I think there may have been plans for all of the surface lots downtown but it seems like the state is no longer interested in building on those areas and the private lots must be more valuable as parking lots. The corner of Michigan and Grand comes …

Looks like we won the parking crater award! It is difficult to understand why we knocked down the whole west side of our city for surface parking lots from here, it must look really crazy from outside of Lansing.

what does EDIT mean? There is new demolition work going on at the old Y building, maybe this project is really getting underway!

The Westside Reinforcement project has been going up quickly. The new giant line poles now line Old Lansing Road and you can see them from Frances Park across the river and above the tree line. While I understand what and why the BWL is doing this i…

At Pablo's, they have covered the windows but I see workers going in there almost every weekday at least for a couple of hours. I had heard they were not in a big rush because they were waiting on their liquor license. Plus I think it is a family pr…

In Boston [sorry it's the only other place I know well] they have the Hay Market which is outdoor setup and taken down each market day. There they sell produce only, it is not a farmer's market, the sellers offer good prices on "B" produce which gen…

I wish they would use this as an opportunity to clean up the river banks. The river looks a bit more natural at these levels, but now I understand why the level has been so low.

I read that the cheese vendor in the City Market is leaving. The LJS story said that Lansing has rejected the urban farmer's market concept. I would say that Lansing has rejected The City Market. The city built a cheap looking building with all the …

This will be a great for bike commuters, a more direct route than the scenic river trail. I think you could go from Frandor to Downtown in around 20 minutes on what looks to be this very flat easy to ride route.

That is great news about the parks and trails. I have to hope that the recent tree cuts near GM and the new substation are part of this because they sure left an ugly mess of fallen trees over there. I think they could naturalize the river banks b…

I looked at the googlemaps 2017 pictures of this part of REOtown [north end] and it is intersting to note how many trees have been cut down over here. Nothing to be done about it, it is just kind of sad to me.

There is a new sign above the renovation in the 1200 block of S. Washinton that says "The Rusty Nail Opening Soon". It looks really nice outside. Just up the street, the MMJ shop says "temporarily closed". That shop used to draw a lot of people, may…

I am just hoping it will not be another "better than nothing" kind of project. Including water and greenway features will be really nice, I was saying that this plan looks very similar the office/residential parks that they have been building in thi…

I am hoping that the Red Cedar development will be the end of it's better than nothing way of thinking here, and will mean that others will have to step up their game. It seems like they are renting the new wing of the Market Place at a good pace,…

I think [of course you want to know what I think!] this plan is very suburban when at least the Saginaw side could have a denser urban layout. Buildings up to the sidewalk and street parking behind or in decks, maybe a grid plan of streets and block…

It seems unlikely, but maybe there could be a Greater Lansing Authority with all the big and little municipalities represented. The Authority would oversee regional resources, parks, and trails, transit, airports, roads and take up planning for deve…

wow this is a big one
