Yeah exactly, that's what I'm thinking. But as for ideas about farther out from downtown I'm coming up with a bit of a blank. Like down passing Frandor and into EL? Other than transportation I got nothing.
-
This has been pretty focused on transportation - what other ideas do people have for the corridor? I'm just curious mostly... I personally would love to see some sort of plaza-like feel downtown, maybe urban parks like the one in old town. Obviou…

Saw this in the NY Times today, and thought it was interesting and on point. The article says 40 cities are working on it, and I definitely think that we should be one, or start seriously looking into light rail. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/1…

Yeah I'm just impatient for such an awesome project... *twiddles thumbs*

Any news or progress on this? Everything I've read says an opening in 2009, so shouldn't stuff be starting to roll soon?
-
I wish I could go and voice my opinion too - unfortunately that can't happen, so somebody go and repeatedly shout 'LIGHT RAIL! LIGHT RAIL' throughout the proceedings for me please. Thanks.

Ok LMich.... I was a bit shaky on your arguments before, but I have to say as this thing goes on you are winning me over - wtf is going on with people being so antagonistic!!!! The one thing I will say is that whoever wrote this is probably not one…

I thought the same - the opinion piece was what I was referring to when I said it was very skewed. I'm just impatient and want a decision now, but you're probably right that it's good for Mr. Gillespie. Especially in light of what you said - that …

Both articles seemed pretty negative, and almost saying 'here's the big bad market-destroyers...but what about this lovely rendering of a refurbished old market! Isn't it nice!' Ah well. What do we all think about the vote being delayed?

Hood - was just thinking about your Frandor idea... have you ever been to Crocker Park in Cleveland? It's like Eastwood but with apartments on floors above the shops. I'm sure there are tons of developments like that around the country, that's jus…

I've always wished Impression 5 had a more prominent and appropriately impressive space, and I agree with what rooor said - it would be a great boost to have some appealing and inviting new libraries. It's a bit late to still be thinking of this, b…

Well amen to that, LMich... One thing I have lost touch with a bit is the local politics of Lansing - which I probably should have become more interested in, as I'm in law school now... I totally agree though - no reason for fear-mongering etc. I…
-
Point taken, LMich, and in rereading my post I thought it might come off more of a critique of your statement than I meant. I completely agree with what you're saying, but I think our focuses are just different. I think that for any city to be suc…

I'm new here but migrated from UrbanPlanet where I've kept tabs on Lansing since I left E.L. almost a decade ago. My parents still live in East Lansing, so I obviously have a vested interest in the metro. Anyhow, after seeing how lively this site …
