Just saw the LSJ article, wow, this is ridiculous. Is Schor really a spineless mayor? Because everything I see points to that being the case. So we are going to jeopardize state funding and leave a problem section of roadway a problem section to all…

Mich, I saw that article too today and had the same questions. It looks like they are doing a road diet from 4 lanes to 3 with bike lanes on either side. I assume they are putting in concrete medians in the non-turning sections of the third lane? In…

The real issue is that corner south of Lenawee on the southbound side of MLK but I get that is never going to get fixed unless the bridges all need replacing at the same time and they can reroute it then. In a perfect world all the boulevards would …

A good article in the City Pulse today about the new development by Hepler next to Motor Wheel, as well as the NEZ proposal being put forth. It looks like this is repurposing the building attached to Motor Wheel that was commercial previously. I'm n…

I am legitimately amazed that the best thing people can think of for this corner is another weed shop. It is one of, if not the highest traffic intersection in all of Lansing and with all the additional residential being built nearby could have a re…

I don't like the thought of burdening city residents for 30 years. Most of the people voting on this debt will be dead or moved out of Lansing before it is actually paid off, the quintessential passing the buck. I also don't like selling the current…

A storage facility has to be the dumbest thing I've heard for that spot on Michigan. It's a shame the ballot initiative isn't proposing that be carved into Lansing too. I believe it's just the Groesbeck slice. If that were unified with Lansing we co…

A 30 year millage is gonna be a no from me dawg, that is a really long time to have it run its course. I also don't like the lack of clarity on how and where and what the funds will be used for. Public safety sure, but the devil is in the details. …

I'm actually kind of glad they are killing off that slip lane. I'd use it in the morning from time to time and it always felt so dangerous even if northbound traffic wasn't supposed to merge into that lane. Makes sense even moreso given that the two…

Looks like the small building that abuts the Lansing Brewing Company parking lot is getting remodeled into a coffee shop of sorts. The address is 316 N Cedar St. I had always thought this was part of the LBC parcel but it looks like it act…

Pretty excited for this one as it's within walking distance for me. I'm wondering on ETA and if they will serve alcohol. If I'm remembering right they had bought a license for their now defunct REO town location, but I'm not sure if they sold it to …

What a shame. That area had some real potential but it sounds like they are squandering it for an immediate gain rather than a long term one. At this rate it is just going to look like the rest of the infill on Saginaw to the west of that area. I'm …

Just a teeny bit of water seepage in the basement, fared good otherwise. I'm just west of Frandor and on a bit of a hill so we really don't have water issues like a lot of people in Lansing do, but the sheer amount of water that came down along with…

I wonder if they are going to finally add the signal at Clippert and Grand River finally. I remember reading about it a year or so ago and never saw anything of it. Seems like a good time as any to do that. The stop sign is totally a trap, anyone wh…

https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/lansing-to-open-booze-districts-just-in-time-for-summer,16722 The City Pulse has a much better article on the social districts as well as their proposed overlays. It will be interesting to see how the su…

Why does it always seem like EL has development woes? I also agree in that I would trust MSUFCU over Vlahakis. To me it reads as though he has perpetually operated in bad faith, much like the rest of the old landholders and prospective developers on…

I'm excited for Ellison to finally open up in REOtown. I feel like it has been a better part of a decade of waiting at this point. It's true that the area has certainly turned around in comparison to what it was like 6+ years ago. Hopefully it is a …

I read on WLNS that the Lansing City Council voted earlier this week to approve the establishment of Social Districts in the areas of Downtown, Reo Town, and Old Town. I tried pulling up the agenda and was unable to find maps of where they are propo…

https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/former-sears-building-hits-the-market-for-redevelopment,16264 Looks like Gillespie is trying to redevelop the old sears location and surround parking lot. I bet it'll end up being something similar to what…

I always get paywalled at LSJ, but I think I found the study PDF you were talking about, linked below. I haven't read it yet but wanted to share it in this thread just in case others hit the paywall as well. https://dusp.mit.edu/sites/dusp.mit.ed…
