  • I'm not sure the payoff is there right now to compel the township to give up any of its current holdings. Personally I don't have any issues with the charter townships act and actually agree there should be protections against aggressive expansion o…
  • GBD, they are actually discussing converting it all one way or the other. I saw something on Nextdoor about how they were going to have a discussion session later this month about a three lane or four lane configuration on Mt. Hope. The decision wil…
  • https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2019/08/06/allen-neighborhood-center-residential-kalamazoo-street-egle-grants/1889663001/ LANSING — Twenty years after its founding, the Allen Neighborhood Center is planning a major rebuild. …
  • Speaking of another building I drive by every day, it looks like 415 E Saginaw St, the location where Bonnie's Place used to be, is having some work done on it. At first I thought maybe someone was opening something there too, but I pulled it up on …
  • Looks like a BBQ new restaurant is going in at 427 E Oakland Ave, right at the Cedar/Oakland intersection. There was a "you buy we fry" place there for a couple years that closed last winter, and it had been sitting vacant save for a BBQ food truck …
  • LSJ is reporting a 40m reconstruction project for 496 starting in 2020. They are going to close and reconstruct one side at a time. Apparently this is why MLK is getting redone so quickly since it's a huge trunkline that is likely going to be a big …
  • Three things: 1. Daycare sounds interesting given the state workers nearby. 2. I hope they get retail tenants in the building as it would be great have another option besides Washington Square area 3. Not sure if income based apartments are righ…
  • "State of Michigan: Meeting to discuss 2020 Homer Street lane reduction project in Lansing on June 27" "MDOT will invest approximately $200,000 in 2020 to remove the far right lane on Homer Street between Vine Street and the northbound US-127 exi…
  • https://eastlansinginfo.org/content/el-food-co-op-open-storefront-farm-market-near-127 Looks like the old food co-op in EL is reopening in the small slice of Lansing Township just east of the 127 overpass. I never set foot in the old location and…
  • Since I work right down there I'm interested to see what will go into that retail space. Having somewhere else besides Washington Square to walk to would be great. If they can find a niche for the state workers a business in that building will be ve…
  • I was driving through Frandor towards East Lansing today and noticed they are putting up new signals. When I came back it didn't look like any have gone up westward towards Lansing. I assume these are the arrow signals as outlined in the LSJ article…
  • LSJ did a good job with this article in my opinion. This area is going to need some complex fixes to make those streets manageable, and I think this should be a big focus for all jurisdictions involved. Bridging Lansing and East Lansing via the F…
  • It's a lot of beds, but MSU enrollment hasn't exactly been decreasing. I think this is more an issue for the outer apartment complexes, which will have to cut rates to be competitive. I think Lansing's East Side will still be desirable for those who…
  • I sent an email this morning to Lansing City regarding my questions for the Aurelius repave and will report back if I hear anything. Old 27 just north of Lansing feels pretty dangerous now too ever since they repaved that. Maybe it will get bette…
  • Interesting, I wonder if there are there any plans to make Clemens/Aurelius more conducive to biking. I'm also wondering if they are planning to do any additional improvements given this will be used alongside Pennsylvania as the hospital route from…
  • https://www.lansingmi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7356/Phase-2-Provisioning-Center-License-Application-Criteria-FINAL WKAR published a short story on how the city updated the approval criteria for provisioning centers. Looks like they have added addi…
  • Has the city ever considered making adjustments to the section of eastbound Saginaw ave between Larch and Pennsylvania? https://goo.gl/maps/jy5PfMdKde52 That train track bridge over the road really wreaks havoc on traffic flow. I drive this wa…
