I lived in a very small town for a long time, they had a town meeting every year and anyone from town could speak, offer ideas, and criticisms [a lot of the latter] and I swear even with all those voices they got big things done. They agreed on and …

So this is still on despite the most recent vote?

I have to some what agree, I am hoping they doll it up a bit, I think it is OK for some areas that may never see anything built on the empty lots. I know that we are not like Detroit in that we will recover our population to it's high point so one d…

I do like this project at least on paper. I am not a big fan of knocking down old buildings, but E.L. really does not feel like a cozy historical district downtown. There are already "tall" buildings and parking ramps along Albert giving the street …

Thank you for the post. I am impressed at how nice it looks inside. This house went up so fast, and I think many parts were pre-fabricated off site. I was thinking Habitat for Humanity might have been building this house, it is interesting to hear t…

Thank you for the update. I hope they can find a way to help the new development areas mesh into the older campus. The new areas feel and look a bit like an office park, more trees and landscaping, with large direct pedestrian and bike paths to the …

Looks really good. It has been difficult to look at the new building while driving by. It looks like a first class building.

It is great to hear about the Michigan Ave under the bridge project is getting underway, anything would be better than what it's like now.

Thank you, this clears it up for me. My older brother worked a whole summer patching the roof of the Motor Wheel building back in the 60's. He had a great tan that summer. It is great to see that photo, to remember what the building looked like, alt…

I have been wondering about that space since I have been back in Lansing. It sort of looks like an an abandoned trailer park with only the street lights left standing. So they were going to build apartments from shipping containers? I think it may h…

It has been pointed out that shelving the plan is not ending the but postponing it. I am not sure CATA should be basing anything on what this "administration" says. They really could have got this done before the election, and I would suppose they w…

I was using the idea of what else could a be a good way to get more people on a mass transit system. I may use terms like right of way incorrectly, what I meant in regard to rail roads, they already exist, and using them would take some mass transit…

There has been work going on at the white brick and tile clad building at the corner of Elm and S. Washington in REOtown. I am hoping it is not going to be more surface parking for the church, but that seems to be what they are working on as the bui…

Again just dreaming. What about modern sleek looking double deck-er buses on the Mich Ave #1 route, they could be express buses, only stopping at "stations" not on demand. Maybe they could be equipped to change the traffic signals as they go out to …

It would really be great if they did something to that building. Of all the buildings built in the "urban renewal" area this one to me is the most disappointing building, and a sign of a lack of vision that finds downtown in it's present state. Afte…

I like this one better too. It seems to fit the space.

From the start this project seemed to me to be. yes it's obvious an urban area of 500,000 people should have a rapid transit system of some kind. CATA seemed to try very hard not to step on any toes, and upset the "anti-everything that makes sense" …

I think this place will be a success. I tended bar in a place with a similar set up. It was interesting to see how many people really love to play pinball, and video games. There was also pool and ping-pong tables. People had a great time and and u…

This is not a good thing. I wonder why this relatively small number of people and their views were allowed to have such power in this project. I don't remember a great deal of public input before all of the projects of the 60's and 70's, that saw ab…

I have only been back for a short time[2 years] but the rivers are the highest I have seen. It has gone down some, it is really impressive to watch the water rushing through the Moores Park damn. The Grand is a really big river! I think a lot of th…
