I don't make it by there much anymore, I'm glad to hear that project is progressing. I was wondering if it was dead. If it's still the same plan that was proposed a couple years ago it sounds/looks like it should be a cool place: https://www.lansin…

I was under the impression that at least some stuff is privatized, maybe I'm mistaken and thinking of the crews I've seen around quasi-governmental properties like the libraries and LEPFA facilities? Is park maintenance still done by city workers? I…

I definitely don't hate the idea of ditching those ridiculous shacks in Reutter Park for a nice permanent building with a patio leased out to a restaurant/bar. That could be a really great thing if done right. I absolutely agree that the parks ne…

I wouldn't worry, I have virtually no doubt MSU will be doing a proper historic restoration including the windows. My jaw would drop if they did anything other than that.

Yup, it's undergoing a renovation: https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2024/msu-approves-campbell-hall-renovation-paving-way-for-honors-college-living-learning-community?sc_camp=05574B1FD3D94D6E8E1747C95BCB4598

https://www.wlns.com/news/proposal-to-sell-lansing-icons-heads-to-city-council/ I can't really articulate the level of pissed off I am just hearing that this is being discussed. So it turns out there is some nefarious force within the City gov…

Another City Pulse story on the city hall move: https://lansingcitypulse.com/stories/at-long-last-a-city-hall-plan-that-may-actually-stick,96661 There's no insight on the building itself but there are a lot of quotes from Schor and councilmembers…

Really? With all the demand for housing they can't figure out something better? Lansing Township itself is heavily invested in Eastwood, I imagine that's all they really care about. I'm mostly disappointed in Lansing Township residents at this point…

Needless to say given my previous comments, I'm in favor of new construction vs the Masonic Temple move by a long shot so although I'm still not excited about this, it's good news to me... relatively speaking. I love the Masonic Temple Building but …

Apparently there will be some announcement as to the location of the new city hall tomorrow and it seems to be implied that this won't be the Masonic Hall now. I'm just hoping it's not at the public safety complex, to move city hall out of downtown …

A couple of things worth sharing... First, there's an LSJ story on BWL's impending construction of a RICE plant out on their Erikson property along with a few updates on their other plans and quotes from neighbors complaining: https://www.lansin…

A few quick pictures from last weekend... Neogen building: The new MSU Multicultural Center: New IM building: Farm Ln ridge: A few pics along the soon to be paved phase II of the MSU-Lake Lansing Trail, heading from the …

I'd think a four lane boulevard with a wider median than what the city was proposing should reasonably satisfy most parties, I'd be all for it. I generally like boulevards when there's space and a need for them.

@MichMatters To clarify, my point was that it's unproductive to directly address someone with language like "you're the one on the outside" followed by a silly emoji and call your opposition's statements "stupid and/or ignorant" followed by a cheeky…

@Lymon89 I don't disagree that community engagement should have happened earlier on, I'm sure part of the issue is most in the community being blindsided. I follow things closely and this caught me by surprise. That's been a consistent feature with …

I've been critical of Schor for awhile, I wish I could say that I'm happy that others are seeing the same thing I have but I'd rather just have a competent and visionary leader. This MLK fiasco isn't even close to my least favorite thing he's …
-
@gbdinlansing I believe it's just there to improve traffic flow over the Red Cedar River while the Farm Lane bridge is out.
-
@mindbender That's the kind of logic I've almost come to expect out of people these days. I truly hope there's not a large contingent of people that think like that, this city's (and world's) future won't be very bright if so. I'm mildly in fav…

I'm also a fan of the Hudson Tower's design, it's SHoP Architects, they've done a lot of nice high rises. The Tower on Grand kind of has their aesthetic imo. Lots of stuff happening in Detroit in general, I loosely keep up on things going on do…

Lots of news within these last few posts. Thanks to @citykid for the insights That the 1506 N Grand River development is still in the table, even if downsized, is very positive. That development would be huge for the area as originally envision…
