  • I'm usually pretty excited to see the new development occurring when I go back home to Mid-Michigan. That, however, was not the case when I saw this development during my trip this past weekend. I’m sure someone was designing it to be “hip” or “urba…
  • The state is in the process of applying for additional federal money for high speed rail, but it is not for a Detroit to GR via Lansing line. They are more focused on getting the Detroit to Chicago line up and moving (quicker) since that is likely …
  • Interesting article in the LSJ. This is good news for the area. Lansing's Stadium District building fills up
  • That would be great reuse for that property! Micro, I completely agree with you on your thoughts about Lansing Township - especially in that area of town!
  • eh... its just 'there' for me... it could've been so much more.. ah, well... at least Lansing has a new city market!
  • not one of Lansing's more cutting edge developments...
  • It’s my understanding that JNL has already outgrown its Okemos office building. They have apparently moved some of the employees back to a portion of the original building in south Lansing. I agree with you hood, I’d be surprised to see them mo…
  • Well it looks like the CADL proposal did not pass... its a shame, I understand the reasons against it. I am pleased to see that the Detroit Zoo got some love from voters.
  • Micro, point taken. I will say this, you’re a better man (or woman) than I… I would’ve picked downtown Chicago over Lansing in a heartbeat! Lansing does have a lot of potential and I must admit that I miss the area. It will always be home.
  • Rant on, Binto, rant on! It makes the discussion boards all that more interesting. If we all agreed 100% of the time with one another’s opinions what a boring read it would be. Without a doubt, this IS an important issue. My concern is people m…
  • Randy, I wish I had a dollar for every time someone came to me with a speech along the lines of “The future development of downtown ______ hangs in the balance on this vote.” I’d be able to give Trump a run for his money. There is no doubt that it…
  • Bird's Eye View is a great tool. I use it at work all the time when presenting developments.
  • I grew up in DeWitt and still consider it "home" so I have a personal issue with this project. It is completely out of character with the area. Should the project go through, it would open up the “green belt” that separates DeWitt and Lansing to s…
  • I'm not a fan of the proposed move to DeWitt Township. I hope it never happens.
  • Why in the world would you want to locate a business on Ena Drive... it's not even near any major freeway entrance/exit ramps. Just another greenfield development. Kudos to bringing in jobs, but blah on the location.
  • Okay, apparently I found an answer to my question about the River Trail extension from the other day. Ingham County Parks Department has information on the “Capital Connector Trail” which deals with multiple jurisdictions within Ingham County. Acc…
  • I found this on the Parks Department's Capital Improvement Projects website for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008. (http://www.lansingmi.gov/parks/capital_improvement_projects.jsp) River Trail Repair and Maintenance - $128,000: These funds provide for ongo…
  • When I used to live in the Lansing area (prior to mid-2006) I rode my bike on the River Trail route from Old Town to MSU regularly during the summer months. I found it to be in excellent condition and used by many bikers and pedestrians. They even…
  • The River Trail looks nice. I'll have to bike it next time I'm home. Does anyone know if they have plans to extend it north(west) after the Turner Dodge House? I heard rumers a while back, but nothing since.
  • WOW... the storm actually did that damage to the BWL cooling towers?! That is crazy! Great pics. thanks for posting them!
