  • I haven't been by there in a while, good to hear it's coming along. I really have to get out and take some pictures before winter fully sets in.
  • I was at a neighborhood meeting with the housing commission, both buildings are being built as we saw in those blue renderings, there's a small chance they may change colors up. They have no plans for the Baryames property besides using it for const…
  • I really have to look into the details of how the city has been spending the parks millage money before I support it. I've been quite disappointed in the parks, the best things that have happened have been funded through the county millages, private…
  • You're ok. To briefly explain my stance: I just don't entirely agree with your viewpoint/assertions but I see no reason to engage on a subject so potentially divisive. I'll happily debate anyone on specific issues/policies if they invite the banter …
  • Cooley is finally listing their former library building: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2024/10/31/downtown-property-for-sale-cooley-law-school/75961768007/ https://cpix.net/property-search/#/property/611a45495e7ca000082f284b…
  • I don't hate that building but I don't consider it at all important to save nor do I personally see it being worth trying to incorporate as a podium for a taller building. It's just an extremely basic two floor brick building with no real defining f…
  • There's now a rendering of the proposed Engineering and Digital Innovation Center: MSU also has requested another $70m from the state for the $340m building. https://statenews.com/article/2024/10/msu-board-approves-leadership-infrastructure-ch…
  • The document lists the Capitol Tower as 6 floors in some areas but in others states 4 residential floors and 1 office floor. My best guess it that there is a tall first floor that includes some two floor townhouse style units accessed from the outsi…
  • I thought it was worth pointing out this site plan: The document talks about connecting the west bank River Trail through Wentworth Park, alongside Grandview Plaza and restoring the path that's attached to the S Grand Ramp, that part of the pla…
  • I'm not surprised at the existence of office space, I'm surprised their putting it at the top of the building and only doing one floor, if it weren't for the top floor office space this could be a stick built building. I'm not complaining at getting…
  • This is very, very welcome news. The nighttime rendering of Tower on Grand is great, the new building in Old Town and the Ingham Building's renovation into apartments are unexpected and significant positives. I did not expect to see stuff added to t…
  • Lansing Connect https://www.lansingmi.gov/697/Report-an-Issue-Through-Lansing-Connect
  • --Cancelled/On-Hold/Stalled Projects-- -Park Michigan (On Hold) This long awaited project calls for replacing the State of Michigan employee parking lots between Ottawa and Allegan east of the Hall of justice with an expansive park space that wi…
  • Thanks for pointing that out. I never think to check their opinion section, there were a few articles in there that I found interesting.
  • I don't know, the last time CADL put up a millage for capitol improvements it failed. That was 2008 though and times are much different.
  • Regarding the new arena in Kalamazoo: First, I fundamentally disagree that Kalamazoo is better positioned to host events/conventions than Lansing. The Lansing area itself is larger, our local university is larger, we're better geographically positio…
