  • It's not terribly surprising for me that they would build another pedestrian bridge, I was just a little surprised that they didn't put it a little closer to Bogue. Maybe they'll build another whenever they replace the Bogue bridge though? Facebo…
  • If being used as a combined site it'd seem much more wise to just do a single building utilizing the whole 2/3 of a block along Grand there then orient another building Lenawee or possibly oriented to Lenawee & Cherry, something similar to the b…

  • @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…

  • @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…

  • 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.
