This is such an amazing round-up of updates. Thank you for putting it together. Nice work and thanks for creating a stickied thread for it too.

No parking promotions that I've heard of. And still the ones that have existed for a long time require a retailer to stamp your parking ticket.

Even though they present it as non-student housing I fully expect it will be 85%+ students/recent grads living there. The income requirements just require that a student is not claimed on their parents tax returns. Once the building is 40%+ students…

The hotel at that site looked better than the REO gateway replacement. Thank you for the pictures! On the Ranney Park one you labeled "Looking south from park parking lot", are you sure that is looking south? The buildings on the left and the hil…

I think of it as a place for students to hone their craft, shake out their early thoughts, and either create beautiful artwork under the bridge or elsewhere. Having it so close to the art school made a lot of sense to me.

I personally love the graffiti down there. To each their own

That map is so cool. You put a lot of effort in to it. I especially like the orange routes that you have dreamt up. The region has so much potential! Adding in bike lanes would really fill in the map even more. I would like to see more protected bik…

Welcome to the board @citykid. Thanks for sharing your insights!

I agree. Nothing that will awe anyone, but this type of infill will bring a lot more life and activity to this corridor.

The first step should be to put a stop sign on N Homer St that requires local traffic to stop and yield to traffic exiting the freeway. This setup is all over metro Detroit.

The TechSmith office looks great. I'm so happy they relocated to East Lansing instead of moving out further.

@Lymon89 have you visited the Texas capital? Their visitor center and underground complex is really nice and both theirs and ours share the same architect if I remember correctly.
-
Wow these are cool pictures! Thank you for sharing

Sorry for the long delay in replying here. Yes, I agree more specific project-oriented threads are a good idea. Would pinning the other long running threads be counterproductive in this though?
-
@hood Yeah good call. I think that would be helpful. Especially if people want to post progress photos.
-
In my opinion, it's because these aren't hotels for tourists. The extended stays are or will become housing for those who can't afford or won't get approved to rent an apartment. Further, groups such as the Lansing Housing Commission could give vouc…

Right. These can get passed by zoning today but in 10 years if the market isn't where it is today, I expect the City would allow conversion of half of the property to apartments.
-
Long term, what percentage of these hotels (esp. the long-term ones) convert to apartments?
-
Great to see. Yeah that pedestrian bridge really does need an update.

Are you referring to Cosi? I think that will be the location for Raising Cane's fried chicken, https://detroit.cbslocal.com/2022/02/04/raising-canes-chicken-fingers-opening-first-michigan-restaurant-in-east-lansing/
