Interesting, fun, but kind of ugly. Maybe they could set a small merry-go-round or some sort of attraction for that area as well. It is sort of a block you just pass through, it will be good to have people using that part of the park. I think that b…

I was not complaining about the past so much as pointing out how many people feel about paying taxes for things that might not directly benefit themselves and how they came to their opinions, years of politicians and anti-government voices saying go…

I have read a letter to the editor in The City Pulse that calls people who want to save the garden "myopic blatherskites"! and "Luddites"!,people who of course have no idea of how an electric utility works. Wow way to use the dictionary! This guy so…

Now that I see the pics. I am liking the building less. The facades seems to want to be three or four different buildings in a row, but fail. Would some one hire a new architect from I don't know Chicago, New York. The sameness and design of the app…

I am really happy to see these issues finally being brought up. From the first day I have thought the whole idea was odd and wrong. I have never understood how the idea even got out there, who or what was going to be benefited, was there some sort o…

In California they must also deal with and build infrastructure that can withstand earthquakes, there are also several mountain ranges and bone dry desserts all of which are challenges to roadways and infrastructure. Yet the roads are taken care of …

I can not think that the possibility of a future BRT is the reason that Michigan Ave. is in it's present sorry state. Let's not fix it because some day we will have to dig it up is crazy. As with W My Hope they will dig it up within months, so that …

Geeze I hate this kind of stuff. I did not realize that there are so many companies the are just dying to build huge projects in Lansing! Why have these guys waited until this point, why not tell the city council all about it before they OK'd the de…

The tower was built at the same time as the Gannon building. I was a student at LCC when the building opened in the mid 70's. I am not sure of it's function, but I am sure it is ugly it was then and still is. I drove along Greenlawn and it was so n…

This is exactly what they need to put into an info-commercial on local TV. Show that it is a fairly normal system that many huge urban areas use successfully. Show folks that the BRT will set Lansing apart from every small town in Michigan that has …

What a sad state of affairs out there, first what are they trying to protect downtown? I think it looks like kind of a mess, dirty sidewalks and potholed streets, empty shops, tree space with no trees. Add towering and ugly parking structures, well …

I think it is OK not really spectacular,is this a computer generated depiction, it kind of looks like video game art. If the clock face area and other light details are sandstone and there are textured red bricks as is kind of indicated it will have…

I hope it looks better than the drawings. They look like a slight variation of more of the same. Lots of black top for students with two cars I guess.

I think you are right, I have only seen the BRT reported on in local media.No ads or commercials. There really could some public relations done by CATA. Maybe having a naming contest to find some cute catchy name for the system like "LARRY T"[Lansin…

While I do not have the level of facts and figures the other folks have noted, I think on this forum it is OK to say what one's feelings about a subject, but then one would have to be ready to be corrected if facts and figures prove your feelings in…

The BWL is still trying scare people into supporting the project. This time with depictions of huge power poles going up S. Washington. Numbers are still changing every time they speak and still no proof of any talks with GM. They just keep talking …

I have found that chamber of commerce organizations are right wing conservative groups that have no interest in public institutions like transit systems. Maybe the only interest they ever have is to be against them. While it is understandable the so…

I was just pointing out that there is a great little bookshop on Grand River, of course it is not like bookshop/cafe type place. I am not sure that business model is working so well these days, aren't they closing a lot of Barnes and Noble shops?

What a mess it would seem to be. The idea was laudable, but it still seems like the results are much less than they could be. I think maybe it's time for developers to submit plans that are not subsidized by some kind of tax brake. Cities and towns …

If you are into a unique used bookshop [they have some new books} you should go to Curious Book Shop. The place is packed with every kind of book, there are books pamphlets and posters from MSU and Lansing history. You can not leave without buying s…
