We all knew this was coming, but it's sad to see the oldest part of the complex come down, nevertheless. Thursday, McLaren began demolishing the original building at the site, the 1929 a four-story hospital then known as the Ingham County Tu…

Placing them in the non-turnig sections would block off all left-turns into the private driveways (particularly on the west side of the street). I can't imagine the residents would support that. This is all so weird. Edit: I see the City Pulse is…

LSJ has a story about partial closures on Coolidge roughly between Saginaw and Lake Lansing that's planned to last until the end of June. Traffic will be maintained in each direction with one lane. One thing mentioned is that the road will have a…

I'd been clear I was disappointed by that, too. But then seeing the opposition to JUST a road diet as a general concept here, it's pretty clear that if part of the plan also included selling off that land to a developer, this would have been DOA. Th…

I mean, this is almost a no-brainer. The existing roadway + median is over 175 feet wide in some places. It's ridiculously overbuilt and there is no scenario from a traffic point where it makes sense to leave it alone. You essentially have a divided…

This seems unwise. The city is now back to offering an almost no-change option for the MLK reconfiguration: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/47961541-48aa-4f51-b21a-fc2af37fb763 I'm not sure why they'd allow this option when they'd alr…

Yeah, one of the big obstacles doing anything beyond renovation (expansion) is that it's very firmly in the floodplain, which is why I'm assuming nothing else was ever built on the large lot. And with the city's policy of actually offering to buy ou…
-
I mean, two of the buildings are at least oriented toward the street. This is a strange site being wedged in between a freeway and a river, so I'm not really disappointed about the siting, much. It's crams quite a of density on a relatively small si…

Looks like a fourth building is being added to REO Gateway Apartments according to media reports on Tuesday. None of us are fans of the architecture, but the increased density will be nice. Though, I'm surprised they are going to cram it somewhere o…

@citykid, I'd brought this up in the general thread, but City Market/Riverfront Drive is being certified as city street according to a council resolution for next week. Who did it belong to, before? I always thought it was a public city street. Is t…

I read the Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (LBRA) resolution for their meeting, today. It appears that the resolution is to permit the LBRA to expend up to $57,000 to reimburse the airport authority for an environmental assessment as the …

I looked back through the thread, and it seems hood did post that they'd put their Michigan Avenue building up for sale. BTW, I noticed prep work is still being done in the Motor Wheels development area.

I could see it making the site more attractive for transitional/supportive housing. Since they haven't been able to get it off the ground, anyway, maybe that might be an easier get. The interesting in the LSJ update on this is that they speak of …

Looks like this is continuing to move forward: https://twitter.com/LSJNews/status/1775613249859334428

Ahh, thanks for explaining the lot combinations. That makes it easier to understand. Oh, so the "housing" they are talking about is for some good press because of all of the other crap they are doing. Great. lol I do hope that the planning office is…

We'd talked about it a some months ago, but the renovation is for a job training company specializing in medical jobs. There are going to be 4 commercial units on the west end of the property and the main part of the old furniture store will be the …

I may have to take back what I was saying about Sparrow, at least part of it. lol From WILX just now: LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - University of Michigan Health and Sparrow Hospital have outlined plans to create more affordable housing in Mid-Michiga…

Looks like the EDC/Brownfield Authority are finally posting agenda packets, and we've got a few interesting ones coming up. The first is for the renovation of the commercial plaza at West Miller and South Washington. A nice renovation, but defini…

What "interested developers" are you talking about? I hadn't heard that anyone was interested in these lots. BTW, which lots exactly are we talking about of Ferguson? Are you saying they want to make the old tire center site and the houses they own …

Didn't I read somewhere that Sparrow simply wants to make this some kind of green "buffer"? I do hate how density is decreasing on nearly all sides of their campus. They seem to think of themselves as an island and not part of the neighborhood. Hope…
