That sounds like a good use of this vacant property. I like the potential for future job growth. I hope it comes to fruition. If nothing else, the purchase of this building looks better than a for sale sign on it visible from the freeway. (Also,…

Definitely I'd hope to see the BRT completed fully (not BRT light) for the entire length, downtown Lansing-East Lansing-Okemos. My fear, perhaps unfounded, is that the Township and some business and the coalition building going on against the proje…

I agree also. Alternative 1 or 2. To end the BRT short of the eastern end of route 1 (i.e. near campus), then have to transfer to a traditional bus to continue down Grand River does not make sense. Yes I think for this to work BRT must exist full…

The Vacant Hotel is still not finished. I drive by it everyday on my commute to/from work. There is a sign out front that says 'Now Leasing', but the doors to the building and some windows are boarded up. Somewhat disappointing. My assumption is…

Thanks for the construction map! Actually it looks like a reconstruction of Michigan Ave is planned for 2017 from Bingham St (near Sparrow) to Clemens Ave. It's hard to see, but on the layers tab, click on proposed 2017 projects and uncheck 2016 p…

Not sure on what development Gillespie is referring to. Perhaps the Marketplace expansion. There were some small flags on the Marketplace property when I was by there a couple weeks ago, but they are AT&T's. I honestly don't know what other p…

I agree, it's unfortunate to hear that the development is likely delayed and that the mayor and city council are at odds again (i.e. more so than typical). It seems like the longer some projects drag on, the less likely they are to occur, then quie…

Thanks MJ, I didn't see your last post before I typed. "I just generally dislike big-box stores...In this instance, I'm afraid they will" I think those are great comments and help clarify your thoughts on Costco.
-
My two cents: Regarding the Costco comments. It's perfectly fine to have an option and state them. You should; that's what this forum is about. I'd be very interested to hear why Costco is not a good thing. Or maybe it's a concern with all bi…

Interesting reading the discussions above on the county offices in Mason vs Lansing. There are some country functions housed in Lansing, such as the Human Services Building on Cedar street. Also, the consolidated 911 operations is on Jolly Rd (I b…

I agree on the airport comments above. Posted similar things in the Airport thread. Regarding flights from small northern MI airport from Lansing, that has been tried recently. Most notably Marquette/Sawyer to Lansing. That never materialized (M…

I appears American will resume Lansing-Washington Reagan airport flights, likely this summer. The USDOT approved a slot exception at Reagan, allowing 1 daily round trip flight. MLive LSJ This has been done before -- most recently with Sun Co…

I agree, several four lane roads in the area I think would benefit being three lanes. Harrison being one of them (a residential stretch of Harrison just south of that is two lanes, between Grand River and Saginaw). I recall in the late 90s or ar…

I agree, I would have liked to see the Sparrow facility taller. You can get a good view of the building from northbound US-127 near Frandor or southbound in your rear view mirror (will be directly behind you).

I read somewhere that the building being constructed at the old gas station site at Cedar and Miller is a dental office. I believe I read it in the City Pulse a few months ago (eye-sores section), though I could be mistaken. But I am glad to see s…

I'm kind of in the middle regarding the new terminal. We don't have to be like the Jones' and build a new terminal just because another airport did; but we don't want to be by far the worst either such that we're not competitive. Saginaw and Kalam…

I agree, Lansing will never have a huge airport (not in our lifetimes). Lansing's modest size and close proximity to Detroit prevent that. I'd almost be satisfied with what the airport had a few years ago: - Delta: Detroit, Minneapolis - Unite…

Seems Capital Region International Airport is having difficult times again. Losing Allegiant back in January (Orlando) and now Sun Country in November (DC and Minneapolis). International "fun in the sun" flights sponsored by Apple Vacations appear…

Midtown Manhattan, I'd say is more well known and established than Midtown Detroit. I don't think proximity to Detroit is a problem. For all of Detroit's challenges, Midtown Detroit is an up-and-coming area, so I don't think it brings a negative c…
