@citykid The development status page would be fantastic to have. I hope you guys can make it happen. I'd love to see the entire eastside south of Michigan become all rowhouses and low rise apartment buildings. Maybe in a few decades after Michiga…

I forgot that Boarshead was more than just a theater, I never was in there. This city needs more of that kind of stuff. I wouldn't have wanted to see an art museum/center lumped in with Ovation but I do hope that someone with the city or the loca…

You make a good point, they probably would be better suited for Old Town. It'd be nice to have something of an art scene downtown as well but perhaps that's just not in the cards right now.

I'm a little disappointed in the CATA move. I hate to see a half block of Washington frontage taken up for an institutional use, especially right across from Ovation. In the absence of a mid/high rise going on the site, I think the existing building…

The Lansing Art Gallery is going through some financial troubles: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/lansing-art-gallery-suspends-operations-over-financial-problems,109479 I guess I can only blame myself as I've never been to the Lansing A…

I have to imagine that whatever is shown in a week or so will be significantly better than what we saw previously. They're actually spending a decent amount of money for a venue of this size so there should be some room in the budget to make it nice…

Apparently the city has a new design for The Ovation that will roll out on the 16th, along with a new start date for construction: Fall 2025. Why is there yet another year+ of delay even though the architect and construction manager were selected al…

I switched things around a little and created a table of contents thread. Let me know if there's anything that anyone doesn't like or if anyone has any suggestions to add threads/local links

LSJ has a story on the projects from the most recent board agenda, not really much additional information but worth a look: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/campus/2024/09/06/michigan-state-university-trustees-new-sports-arena/7…

I just unstickied and restickied the EL and Lansing threads. Maybe doing a stickied table of contents-style thread linking to all the suburban development and neighborhood threads would be a better option? Possibly still leave the Off Topic or Ne…

Interesting, sticky's have always worked as expected for me. I'm going to go ahead and sticky the aforementioned threads. EDIT: I don't know if I like it but I don't like those threads getting buried either. I'll keep it this way for awhile an…

@P2005 Thanks for posting the updated pdf, it's nice to see the rendering of the Farm Ln facade. I still like this design myself, although the Farm Ln frontage is more bland than I expected. I'm generally fine with red brick, it's timeless and reas…

Right now the rail ROW is slated for a trail but I wouldn't be sad to see light or interurban rail there someday. If high speed passenger rail ends up getting built out I think a GR-Detroit via Lansing route is likely to be added and the Port Huron-…

@Jared @MichMatters (and anyone else interested) Any objections to sticky-ing all (or at least some) of the following threads? We're already in a spot where the second page has threads last commented on three years ago so I don't think we'd be losin…

I'm reviving this old thread rather than make a new one. I'd like to post more random news on new businesses or local government matter like below and not feel like I'm cluttering up the development threads. The city is apparently about to change…

I do really like the redone plaza next to QD up there. Looks like the building in question on Penn used to be a place called "MRHA". I'm not seeing anything unusual with Google Maps myself.

I was shocked when they allowed the mini building boom we saw pre-COVID. Just goes to show how fast things can change when you don't stand in the way, too bad the NIMBYism is so strong amongst EL residents. I mean, they just fought to keep a surface…
