Bringing Coleman road under the freeway should do wonders to reduce traffic on Lake Lansing. Navigating that area during the day is painful, they should have done this sooner.

I'm not a fan of wind farms, they pollute the landscape. I understand that they be necessary as a stop-gap measure to reduce co2 emissions in the short term but windmills and large solar farms are not a good solution for our energy needs as their ou…

I really like the idea behind the improvements to Foster Park. It'll be great to see how it turns out, it looks like they have a good plan. The decorative wall along Kalamazoo and the plaza ought to really improve the view from the street and make t…

@Lymon89 virtually the whole site is in a 100 year floodplain according to the maps. While certainly not ideal, I don't see why being in a 100 year floodplain would be much of a problem for a city market building though, there's relatively little of…

@sabatoa The Atlas Forge building (now Premier Thermal Solutions aka PTS) is the building within that complex but just west of the train tracks. I had imagined the two floor buildings in that complex as a mix of commercial and apartments. I have a 3…

@MichMatters Are there new renderings for this or is it still supposed to look like the rendering a few posts back?

I'm really happy to see them reusing the Shaw power plant and the additions look nice. It's been crazy to see them go from announcing it saying the designs aren't finalized to starting construction in weeks.

I like the idea for turning the current City Market building into a wintergarden, especially if it could be expanded a little. It's worth noting that a group at MSU has been trying for years to build a domed winter garden near Abram's Planetarium: S…

This new proposal is about what I expected and I think it's my favorite proposal out of the long line of proposals I've seen for the site. I did like one of the Michigan Museum Place designs but I still wasn't a fan of a single monolithic building o…

@ratchetwrench There's also been a couple of proposals by Lingg Brewer for the building next to the Wild Goose Inn. He had proposed remodeling the existing building and tearing down the white house on Division for a 3-4 floor addition. I'm not sure …

@MichMatters I haven't been up that way since I posted that picture of the progress, now that you reminded me I really am curious to see how it's shaping up. As for the former superintendents house becoming a rehab center, I'm not 100% against it…

Seeing this projected growth in Lansing is truly a great thing. I'll be very interested in the 2020 census results to see what the real numbers actually are. @MichMatters I hope you're right and we are all pleasantly surprised by better than expecte…

From the article: "Schor said all options are on the table, including selling the building and leasing its land." It looks to me like the City Market is being sold or leased to a developer, if the city were smart it would put out a request for pr…

I'm not sure if they've poured any of the concrete but I think they've at least drilled all/most of the pilings, they've had the drilling rig taken down for at least a week or two now.

Progress has been moving fairly quickly on this building. The site is fully excavated, some of the footings look complete, a tower crane was put up last week and it looks like there's a base for a second tower crane that I'd expect to be put up anyt…

@MichMatters I've been wondering that myself. I think you brought up that property recently, didn't you? I think you had looked it up and noticed it was still owned by the state, or am I thinking of something else?
-
I agree that just about all hope is lost for the market in its current form and at its location, I've thought that just about since I saw what they were building. There is still hope for a great City Market at a new location though, I think the size…

This looks like it could actually be pretty helpful as an incentive for investment. It allows people who own a property for 10 years or more to pay no capital gains on appreciation and it if you invest assets that you currently owe capital gains on …

East Lansing officials still seem confident that another proposal for Park District is imminent and I don't have any reason to doubt them. They've made it sound like Evergreen Ave may essentially stay in place making for at least two separate buildi…

@sabatoa I had always thought that it would have been good to have those tracks be below grade, I never knew there was ever any official recognition of the idea. It would be massively expensive but it's still something that would be really nice to s…
