@gbinlansing My dad's family lived on Clemens, at one point they were going to take out one side of the street to expand it but apparently the neighborhood fought hard against it. I believe it was their intention to expand Clemens and join it up wit…

I'm not at all familiar with the pre-496 configuration of Clemens/Aurelius, but I have wondered that myself. Looking at Google Streetview it looks like the bridge over 496 did get some pretty extensive work, the whole topside of the bridge looks …

I remember them doing some pretty significant work on the Clemens bridge over 496/CSX tracks within the past few years, it was closed for a whole summer. The bridge over the CN tracks is separate and does look to be in pretty rough shape. It's good …

It looks like it'd be the 8/18/2008 meeting (that's when the development agreement was passed), but as far as I can tell meeting packets are only available back to 2011.

Regarding Marketplace, it's odd having something so close to construction and having no idea what the size or design of the building will be. I'm guessing the first rendering we'll see will either be posted onsite or on their social media. Regard…

@MichMatters Regarding the telephone poles by Marketplace, I was there today and saw a note posted on the door of the building. It was advising residents to keep their cars clear of certain areas because of construction, it was outlining the whole U…

I wonder if he's looking to sell the building, find a partner for the development or just to gauge interest from possible tenants? As for Clara's I think a performance venue would be a realistic possibility, almost as likely as seeing another restau…
-
That rendering looks pretty detailed, I wonder if it was concept he intended to build or may still build? Of all his colorful buildings this would probably be my favorite if it were built, the multicolored look isn't so bad with the old brick facade…

I'd just hate to see the hotel end up tucked away behind the commercial building. I don't ever expect this area to become truly downtown-like or walkable in any meaningful sense, but it is an important entrance to MSU for out of towners and in my mi…

It's good to see the Howard Johnson being replaced, I'd agree that it's a pretty good spot for a new hotel. The new EL council and planning board meeting packets haven't been posted yet, but I'll be curious to see how the buildings are situated in t…

They really are a good resource, I never check their site on my own but every time I'm reminded it exists I wander over there and find out something new. I wish there were an equivalent publication for Lansing.

This could certainly change things: MSU Making Play for Blighted Corner No concrete information is given, but apparently some time ago MSU sent out an RFP for housing the university's 300-350 visiting scholars and there were no viable options, no…

@Jared Thanks, that makes them a lot easier to see.

Another update on the progress of the casino proposal: Lansing casino project gets pre-Trump federal response

EDIT: I was going to repost that link because I couldn't see it in your post lol @Jared Is it possible to change the color of the links or something to make them stand out?

I'm not sure, but in the existing agreement I thought that the developer would finance and build the garage then sell it back to the city. I'd assume what they're talking about here is renegotiating that deal somehow.
-
Yeah the lack of CATA service was enough of a problem for the owners of the apartments to run their own buses. Hannah Lofts and Lodges at Hannah each run their own private buses through campus and into downtown EL. I'd be surprised if CATA doesn't o…

@gbinlansing I see what building you're talking about now, I hadn't really noticed it before, I wonder what it's being renovated for? Regarding the council president, I'm glad to see council move past this issue, hopefully the Saboury case is res…
-
@gbinlansing Are you talking about the one at the NW corner Hosmer and Elm? If so I think the state just recently sold that building off, I too am very glad to hear it's getting a thorough renovation, I'll have to get by there to see it. Another thr…

I hope to see that lawsuit resolved and the Saboury project move forward. It would be really nice to see some new construction in Old Town.
