@citykid Thanks for clearing that up, I was under the impression that the project with the CATA offices was an entirely separate deal. Hopefully this means they'll be looking at it as a combined site in order to achieve a more sensible layout. I rea…

EDIT, finished this section up East Lansing -530 Albert apartments (Proposed) Currently proposed as a 5 floor 122 unit affordable housing project on the private land that was leased to the city for a public parking lot. https://eastlansingin…

@Jared @MichMatters Would either of you like to help me keep a stickied post updated showing all the proposed/under construction projects in the area to give any potential lurkers or people wandering in from Google a brief rundown of goings on? I st…

IMO the problem is just that it's a basically tunnel, I don't care whether it's parking or some other use. I wouldn't call any structure built over a street that's almost a half a block long just a skywalk. I just don't want the street closed in lik…

@MichMatters I found a rendering of the Washington Sq Parking ramp. Looks like they would tear down that building, which I won't miss. Not horrible overall imo. The video at the link also has a rendering of the skyline with the tower in it, it's wor…

They say the storefronts would remain but the "property behind them will become a parking ramp". I actually get this move, that building does need parking and there's nothing close enough to be convenient for residents. I do wonder how they're going…

I hate to start out negative but creating another tunnel on Grand Ave is a non-starter for me, that absolutely should not be allowed under any circumstances, it'd be a big mistake. If given a choice I'd actually pass on Lansing's new tallest over so…

Relevant link for Gentilozzi story:https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2023/08/04/lansing-housing-developments-gentilozzi-andy-schor-jfk-investment/70529352007/ -I'm cautiously optimistic here, he hasn't done a lot lately but he se…

I'll have to get by there and check out the QD property, that has been of interest to me since I did my own concept rework of the site awhile back. That sound wall for for Cherry Hill has been nice for me, they really do make a difference. There …

It's very disappointing that the quite silly "safety and security" argument was given so much credence at the public safety complex, I fail to see how public parking lots in the front even help with that, something similar to what the state police d…

The Rescue Mission expansion isn't anything to get excited about but at least they're not expanding further on Michigan Ave, and I have at least some faith in the Mission to run things right. The buildings they're moving into appear fairly large, I …

I can't do anything more than agree. I guess it's time to wait and see if they even attempt to seek public input.

I see no reason to have parking out front. Why? I get the houses across Washington wouldn't want street fronted buildings but why not do a 40'-100' set back with greenspace and plazas between the building and the street? It just seems incredibly …

I guess I don't hate his proposal for the building. I'm just not going to be very accepting of a proposal to move City Hall to an existing building or some run-of-the-mill new structure (I've heard the old LSJ building and the Victor Building mentio…

I haven't seen any details on the aesthetic bits of the project but I'm a big fan of the slightly wider sidewalks, proper separated bike lanes and the curb bump outs at crosswalks, I'm slightly confused by the asymmetric lane configuration but I don…

A few updates from around town... With a few construction new projects getting going there should be more to show over the next few months. Rotary Clubs new accessible playground & pier at Adado: Stadium North's Cedar St building is to…

All I can say is that I'll be up in arms if they move the city hall to that south Washington complex or any existing building. If they build a high quality building that's designed by a reputable architect, I'll probably shut up. I may not be happy,…

That's nice to hear. I either hadn't noticed or forgot there was no sidewalk access for the airport, I imagine this will just be a standard sidewalk along Capitol City Blvd. In my hypothetical trail plan I envision a shared use path travelling next …
