It would be interesting to look at a pre frandor 127 map to see where and how a better street grid could have been built in the area. 496 and 127 are poorly designed with many exits that should have much slower speed limits on exit ramps as they ap…

I am not quite a senior citizen yet, but I find driving in this area quite frightening and confusing. It's the one place in Lansing that reminds me of Boston and not in a good way. There is not much room to change the traffic pattern there, maybe di…

I noticed what seems to be demolition work starting at The Lansing State Journal building downtown. I was beginning to wonder if this project was really going to happen, it is really great to see it get started.

There is an a news story about the end of the downtown hotel building restrictions agreement with Raddison in the LSJ. I think it is interesting that they could have built a new hotel all along had someone wanted to build one without tax incentives.…

I think the city departments may appreciate getting this information, it works most often when the problem in very specific, rather than general like all of Mt Hope needs repaving.

I wanted to post that if anyone is having a problem with pot holes, street lights out, neighbors filling their yard with trash and things like that, be sure to write seeclickfix.com It may be a coincidence but I wrote yesterday that my block on Haze…

The North end zone is really nice so I'm thinking that this will look better that the computer generated depictions here. While I understand the needs and sensibilities of a football stadium it is nice when they do consider that people have to look …

The "utoh" bird is starting to call, they are asking for an extension for the demolition of the old buildings.

The tide is really flowing in the right direction. It will be sad if it changes in the weeks ahead. I think Lansing at least has shaken off the name Rust Belt. People still think the whole state looks like the pictures of Detroit in 2007.

I agree the design seems very defensive, or bunker like. I can not really tell were the gates are, or is this just the back of the concessions plaza? I was driving by Munn Arena the other day which really is a bunker, that was a design of choice dur…

It is a very good idea. The township seem to not like having this neighborhood as they simply ignore it. I think the city maintains the grass median to the east and west already. I could be wrong about that, but if so I guess they could take care of…

I agree, it does seem like a self-storage business is not the kind of thing that is line for tax deals. It is good that they will be using a vacant building, but other than a few employees that kind of business does not help the surrounding communit…

Both stories are great news. I do not why people's ego's seem to be slowing these developments. It is sad to see these folks make the story about them.

I would like to see more buffering between traffic and crosswalks at corners, somehow offering more protection for the pedestrians, making our city more walk-able. Maybe something like low planters on both sides and in the wedge of the corner where …

While I never went to the Beer Grotto diving by I had often thought they could have done better separating the nice looking patio from the racing traffic on Cedar. I think these beer oriented places need to be known for good food as well. I have hea…

They also have the used book sales in the basement.

I had read later what happened on S. Washington. I have a cabin up north and last year they busted a group doing the same thing at Jose Lake, so I know it happens everywhere. I understand that pretty much everywhere in Lansing is doing much better t…

That would be very nice if they are including landscaping in this project. I think if they also put city hall in the Lake Trust building that this will help develop the area.The whole area could use some help. I am not afraid to walk down that block…

Big story in the LSJ about the Grand River Ave development. I like the drawings, there may be a bright shiny group of buildings to welcome people to downtown East Lansing for real this time!

I was sad to see that the city has filled the tree spaces in the sidewalk along W Kalamazoo next to the library with black top. Does this mean trees with not be planted there? The whole library area could use some help. The garden spaces look abando…
