Yeah, it's not clear to me how long it was a bus station for. I have a feeling this may have been done as a bus station around WWII or shortly after, the photo referenced as being in 1949 appears to show the building as not a bus station. Those pre-…

@MichMatters Looks like they could have used the alley to Allegan as the exit, assuming the tunnel through the building itself was the entrance. Here's links to some of the HSGL's Facebook posts on the building: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/…

They got the tower crane up today for Tower on Grand, it's nice to see on the horizon.

The HSGL Facebook page shared a bunch of pictures of the Walter Neller building around the time it was demoed, that's where I first heard of it being a bus station. I guess the busses drove through that opening and had some sort of boarding area aro…

It sounds like they plan to implement these designs with the CSO work, they say in the post this is in preparation for that. As far as I can tell there's a question as to whether or not they want to create a main cycle path down Washington Sq or …

The city of Lansing is doing a survey on possible configurations for the South Washington rebuild/streetscape project coming up next year. They have options that I very much like as presented. There's three A/B/(C) questions: -For street type, I'm…

At the neighborhood meeting we had with LHC they said that they bought the plaza and didn't know what they were going to do with it. I advocated for them to not build more housing in the area and will continue to do so. More LHC projects in my backy…

One last photo update before things get interesting and these projects start going above ground. Here's to 3+ years of having multiple major buildings going up downtown: It looks as if they may be done with foundation drilling for Tower on Grand,…

...And just like that a lone front-end loader showed up on site today. I guess we'll see what next week brings. @gbinlansing Unfortunately the Reutter Park Fountain will probably not be working this year. I talked to a councilmember (Spadafore, I…

The aerial site is fantastic. Be sure to check out all the other dates available (click the "aerials" tab in the top left), much of the area has imagery back to 1955/56, it changes based on where you're looking. Seeing before the freeways, Capitol C…

I'm starting to get a little nervous about Ovation's future. The equipment that was once on site did very little work before stopping and eventually being taken away. There's been ribbons up on the roof of the existing building they're supposed to …

I see a maintenance building at The Village that looks to be an old hanger, that's the only clear remnant that I see. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KQ5c8e19U5zEBcyL9 A 1981 aerial view (another chance to note that I love the historic aerial viewer): …

This is kind of interesting. Perhaps relevant to some of the handouts to developers? : https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/18/attorney-general-raids-medc-search-warrant/84262180007/

@gbdinlansing I also tried to look. Those farms are huge with multiple internal roads, so maybe a private road or buildings related to that, there's also three self storage facilities in the area. The one at State & Chandler is owned by someone …

I've seen grants and whatnot come through for waterways clean ups, at least a couple rounds of funding through the county trails millage has went to that effort. I was surprised riding the trail this week to see that the Waterways Stewards didn't se…

I'm pretty sure there are grant funds involved. The logjams are just something that has to be dealt with, trees overhang the rivers everywhere and every year some fall into the water then collect at bridges and dams. Keeping things clear is no small…

Nice, I've only been through bits of Sexton and that was years ago. I'll have to keep an eye out for future tours.

Michigan Waterways Stewards has been doing a lot of the log jam clean up, they just had one of their two main trail & waterway clean-ups on Saturday. They're also the ones behind the new little path to Brody and the brush clearing along the Red …

I was checking the EL planning agendas for the first time in months and there's actually a small item of note: A developer proposes tearing down the office building at 601 Abbot to build a 32 unit condo building that would be three floors over parki…

City Pulse has an article on the Fish Ladder Music Park: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/major-renovations-underway-at-old-towns-burchard-park,141576 One bit of particularly good news from the article is that the renovations shouldn't t…
