@MichMatters Thanks for the construction map. Besides the omission of Michigan Ave I see a few streets that are getting resurfaced that really need it. Trappers Cove, W Jolly, S Clemens and N MLK are all streets that I've driven down often enough t…

It's sad to see Trippers close but just about anything could be done with the space. These look nice, anyone notice them? Up North-style cottages built on Eastside

@ MichMatters While I don't agree with MJ''s initial comment, your reply didn't help. I think everyone can agree that we all want more people to actively participate here and taking that kind of tone doesn't help that cause. @MJ I've never been t…

I don't like the out of the way location that they're choosing at all, but I wouldn't want a Costco or similar big box store anywhere in the urban core either. I think that the former Waverly golf course would've been about perfect but Lansing twp e…

@gbinlansing I have seen some new houses go up on vacant lots in the city. The Land Bank was on a roll for a bit building houses on vacant lots they owned. I have seen some houses get built that weren't part of the Land Bank program but virtually al…

From everything I've seen and heard I expect the quality of materials to be similar to what's rendered in that video but I doubt that they will be selling condos in this building though, they've given no indication that that is their intention and i…

My argument revolves around the fact that better than 3/4 of the county would be better served by a downtown Lansing location, we'd be paying for a majority of this facility, it's not as though we have no say so in where it goes or how it's built. I…

I wonder how this is going to go. I think a downtown location would be more logical and would be a greater benefit to a greater number of people. The fact that county commissioners still seem open to exploring the downtown Lansing option is very goo…

Welcome, that lot is a great location and I hope that they make sure a quality development or developments go there. This made me think of conceptual rendering I found and saved awhile ago labeled "EL condos." When I saved it I was thinking that it …

That QD really does suck, it probably shouldn't have been in that building to begin with. Anyone else notice the Howard Johnson on Trowbridge is closed down also? Regarding EL construction: All the four floor buildings along the southern edge of …

Did someone already post this?: Dec. 31 deadline set for Citizens Bank demolition This looks to be the real movement on this property we've been waiting for, I expect that things will move along much quicker now.
-
I don't get this either, we had this plan how many months ago? The neighborhood supported it along with the brownfield and planning boards, I don't get the hold up. Hopefully this isn't a sign of EL's council becoming more anti-development.

Lansing was on the cusp of a boom at the worst time possible. A bunch of seemingly promising projects were proposed in 2007/2008, right before the worst real estate and financial market crash in a long time. I'm pretty confident that if those projec…

This is something that I've wondered as of late. Are investors/banks really that bearish on the downtown Lansing housing market or is something else going on? I do think the banks are a significant part of the lack of developments and the low qualit…

The principle behind unions is solid, but the reality is that many are corrupt and some are even still tied to organized crime. Hiring random people to act as protesters would be unsurprising.

I came across a well done Youtube video describing the history of the Capitol Building: This is Lansing - Michigan State Capitol Tour I make note of it mostly because there are some interesting renderings of proposed Capitol replacements at 3:30.

I don't have anything inherently against public land being sold or leased for private projects, it depends on all the various circumstances of a particular deal. I also agree with the sentiment that selling parkland is generally a bad idea, but ther…

I've been driving around in East Lansing a lot over the past two years and I've really grown to dislike all the four lane roads. Lansing did well when they switched most of their four lane roads to three lane ones, I hope that trend continues in EL.

Apparently the city and new property owner came to an agreement at their March 17th hearing: East Lansing's Evergreen Apartments to be torn down It's good that the city is tearing down the building they own on Abbott and I'm happy to see the new …

I also think it's scaled right for that area. It'd be nice if it were closer to Grand River, but I don't have any major complaints about this building nor am I a fan of it, it just is.
