Detroit is building a similar type of beach-with-no-access-to-water on its riverfront. Though the Lansing one is actually water-accessible, it will still be offset and not interrupt the shoreline. See the Atwater Beach section at https://www.free…

For nimby's it's never the people or their incomes. It's always a different codeword so as not to appear discriminatory. I hope they build this and link the streets. The linking of the streets will be more convenient for the neighborhood too.

I hope that this coverage doesn't give current students ideas for this year.

I don't recall council having to jump through many hoops for The Hub. The only one I remember is that they wanted reduced parking requirements. I think these proposals are great for the city. As already said, they are proposed in the right locati…

Why America’s New Apartment Buildings All Look the Same Cheap stick framing has led to a proliferation of blocky, forgettable mid-rises—and more than a few construction fires. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-02-13/why-america-s-new-…

EastLansingInfo is reporting that Core Spaces, the group building The Hub, are planning on building a similar building (residential only, not mixed use) directly to the south of The Hub along Bogue Street. It is very early still, but the ground f…

The whole bit about "we cannot afford a higher gas tax" is so misleading, because we actually cannot afford to keep repairing our cars. That is a much higher "tax". I agree with you

And this is why we need to redirect much of the government funding towards infrastructure improvements, away from foreign wars.

I bet we wouldn't need to increase capacity or expand treatment if we finished the sewer separation project. The stormwater amounts are huge, and diverting that away from treatment facilities would be a giant reduction in the amount of sewage that n…

I agree. Austin, Texas has a huge swimming pool in part of their river that is free to swim in and open year round. The water is great and very clean. You can see right to the bottom.

Not many will (or should) get in the water until we stop draining our sewage in to the Grand River. The LSJ had an article recently about how just a little amount of rain causes our combined sewer system to overflow in to the Red Cedar and Grand riv…

I haven't been by either, but the post says "Design proposal complete: 2018, awaiting funding" so I would assume it hasn't been completed.

Here are some more renderings of the proposed changes for Rotary Park, Seen on page 92 of https://www.romi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/23286/Nowak-and-Fraus---BID

I came across this proposal for update to the center of LCC's campus. The design is buried in a proposal for the Royal Oak City Center project as a reference, https://www.romi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/23287/PEA---BID (page 51). Looks really nice!

Yes, I think that is the major issue. The traffic on Cedar and Larch need to be a lot slower, and we can probably reduce the number of lanes on each road by at least 1 lane. I like the 4-way stop, which could be only activated when a pedestrian requ…

That's great! It's the first parking structure that I know of for Old Town. I remember going to a Royce 5'9" concert at the Temple Club while I was in college at MSU. It's a beautiful building. I wonder if the parking structure would be directly …

MJ, these are really cool designs and a good idea. Thanks for sharing them. I think the major holdup in this area is Lansing Township, who isn't really thinking with an urban/walkable mindset. It really would be great if this stretch of Lansing Town…

I was referring to the Red Cedar Renaissance project, not the drain project. For example, on top of the plinth it would be nice if we had some rain gardens etc.
-
Are there any mentions of rain gardens or other ecological features of the latest proposal that would help prevent some of the water run-off issues that we face with Frandor today? I see the retention pond and trees throughout the parking lot, but I…

@MJ, please do not make multiple comments one after another. If you have further thoughts and you just posted you can edit your comment. I have held off from saying something but at this point it has become obnoxious. Also, I would appreciate i…
