A City Pulse article on the Churchill Gardens neighborhood. They say construction could begin in spring with Council's approval. The land trust/equity scheme they seems like an interesting idea and is worth reading about: https://lansingcitypulse.c…

I haven't been out that way in forever, you're talking about the apartment complex sort of in front of the plaza? On another note, the developers for the student building on Albert are back with a 10-floor proposal with the same footprint and…

I missed this post, it's awesome that your wife works there. I've always had a broad interest in science but particularly cosmology and particle physics, the latter of which I think is at least in the general direction of nuclear physics. I'm just a…

I think I saw something about a groundbreaking last week somewhere, Niowave is expanding their facility at the airport and will add about another 70 positions when complete. https://www.wilx.com/2026/06/02/niowave-announces-airport-facility-clinton-…

Cool, I've never got a good look at one of those red headed ones. As long as they're doing that to my house I'm happy for them.

Unfortunately I don't see UofM as caring about the city any more than MSU. They bought Sparrow and have so far not made any changes for the better. They've not followed through on any of Sparrow's previous capitol improvement plans yet while fightin…

Last I checked my bill we were still at 14 cents per kWh, even the 17 cents sucks to see. Glad we didn't sell the BWL when Bernero wanted to. I'm a pretty hardcore capitalist but when it comes to utilities (or just about anything) where there's no m…

The "in a few years statement" got me thinking about the history of downtown development and the milestones I see as being significant, how there have been times when things have been fundamentally different over just a few years. To me the current …

I agree on most everything, but now I get the rare chance to be the positive(ish) one... The only thing that might knock the tower down from 'great' status for me is the ramp covering Grand Ave. Simply having a 28 floor reasonably-good-constructi…

I cannot disagree, at this point I just have to hope for the best. Hopefully avoid another misstep with the CADL main building, although that looks nearly inevitable at this point. I'm still torn on my overall feelings toward development here, th…

I finally got out and took a few photos on Sunday... Here's a link to an album with a few more pictures: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCV53Y Starting out with Ovation, not much to see but it's great to see real work beginning And a mix of Riverview…

My first thought was Flock cameras but there are also a lot a traffic monitoring cameras around so maybe that? I somewhat doubt their any kind of ticketing thing, in Michigan there are pretty strict limits on automated ticket systems from what I und…

Thanks for keeping me/us updated on LSJ stories. Did that article mention anything about the timeline on the other New Vision projects?

Yes, welcome to the forum! I believe there was a quote from the developer or someone associated with the Tareen development saying that they would resubmit their proposal after some changes, I don't think there was any indication as to what those c…

I have seen speed signs like that in videos before, I think they usually also function as counters. I like that idea, I know they're available, I will bring it up.

I'm part of one of the local trails organizations and there's been continued discussion on what to do with ebikes and scooters. The consensus among the county and various parks department seems to be that there's no funding for enforcement and no pr…

I've been wondering what will go there as well. I continue to be surprised by what they tear down these days, that bank building was kinda nice for what it was. That the economics of it all makes sense to demolish it is amazing to me.

I'm glad that they have the opportunity to move forward with the approval process at least. The thought of the development becoming more "traditional" is concerning. That sounds like vinyl lap-clad standard townhouses and a 12 or 24 unit apartmen…

@gbdinlansing I think you're talking about a new chilled water plant: https://ipf.msu.edu/construction/current-projects/combined-heat-power-west-regional-chilled-water-plant

I'm lucky to by uninterested in gambling for the most part, I just think of a casino in economic development and tourist terms. It's perhaps a little to easy for me to dismiss the downsides. It's good to hear that at least from on the ground Vega…
