  • So the front building on Grand River at the corner is the residential building, I was thinking this would be the hotel. I'm a little confused as this looks like a different view of the same drawing from Aug. 9. In other words, is this drawing is jus…
  • I noticed the exterior finish was starting to go up as they seemed to have topped out the framing, it fills the space very nicely. The drawings for the building depict a light color, but the stone-faced square bricks I saw them using for the first f…
  • Is Urban Systems still a thing? I did not see the name mentioned.
  • It is true that Holmes Street School is located in an area that is cut off by highways rail tracks and the river thus many dead ends. I was just pointing out that if you take the routes that lead out of this area you can find yourself on Michigan Av…
  • I drive by the Holmes Street School often, and this neighborhood is not as isolated as you may think. Holmes St. has one of the few underpasses under 496, which leads to Hunter Park and Kalamazoo St. then straight to the Sparrow Complex and E.Michi…
  • Some color would be nice, think this building is looking very good and will be fully rented very quickly.
  • This route is a state highway so perhaps the state could help Lansing with these busy ugly dangerous streets. I wonder if back when they turned the streets one way, was it a state or city project in the first place? In other words I wonder if the ci…
  • I wonder if the city could acquire just the streets of Michigan Ave. and Kalamazoo where they cross out of and into Lansing? They are some of the worst roads in the area through the township blocks.
  • When I go to the address develop.metrolansing.com I get a warning page stating my privacy may be at risk. I can only get to the page when I click on "discussions". Is it just my machine or is everyone having this problem, can I fix this somehow?
  • I agree that cata could be more creative in finding more riders. Late night service with smaller but good looking buses. I think the actual bus if it were say, very modern sleek and even comfortable would let people feel good about leaving their car…
  • The building that is being renovated is behind the old state warehouse. Going from south to north on Hosmer it is just before the 496 overpass on the left. I never noticed it before they started working on it. The building that is going to be self s…
  • I agree that MSU could have built in downtown Lansing, and while there may have been good reasons for them to build in G.R. I still think they should build and stay in Greater Lansing. It is true that in the 60's and 70's they knocked down the whole…
  • Thank you for your post, it at least makes the situation there understandable, it's politics. We don't exactly have developers lining up to build in Lansing, you are right they should stick to their roles in our city government and and work together…
  • It seems to be a kind of misguided on all sides. It also seems strange that the neighbors would object to subsidized housing in a neighborhood full of lower income families and sub-standard housing. The "glamour of Old Town" does not go very far bey…
  • Please be sure and tell seeclickfix.com about these road conditions, they often, but not always, respond and at least patch the pot holes. It is true when you drive down Michigan, Clemens,Greenlawn,S Washington or S Holmes there is a physical feel…
  • I think the strong mayor type of local government is actually more democratic, in that a mayor has to face re-election and is more answerable to the voters than an appointed city manager. [I don't know how they do it in E.L.] I also think the opport…
  • Maybe it was the landlord's fault but I always found Conrad's store front very dirty and unappealing. I think that block is going to be much in demand with developments across the street.
  • I have also found boarders and city limits interesting. I have noted the the road gets much worse once you cross from East Lansing to Lansing on Forest Road. It is interesting in the sense that humans draw these lines, and they often draw a real but…
  • I thought it was interesting that the owner of the bar has gone on to sell macaroons! That would seem about as far as you could get from that old bar.
  • I took a walk on the River Trail toward Potter Park, I wanted to get a look at the rehab. of the old Knapps warehouse. While the building looks very nice, they have cut down at least 100 trees on the southern bank of the Red Cedar River. It looks re…
