Wow, I've been surprised that those little houses have lasted so long. But the house furthest east on Grand River (Elsworth Co-Op) includes multiple apartments so it's probably a good moneymaker for the owner. Looking closely at Google Maps, this de…

that sounds a lot like the evolution of a bus to me In New York they have "dollar vans" which are not run by the MTA but they have unofficial routes that they ride on and they pick up people and drop them off along the route, usually going on ro…

Yeah, Gillespie should be liable for any construction related damage to the neighboring properties.

Thank you! I thought the same thing but I couldn't think of where I had seen that building before.

We can't have a successful transit system without involvement from all in the region. Look at the struggles of SMART and DDOT to see how separate systems doesn't work. Ridership increased when gas prices were increasing. Car ownership isn't th…

That's too bad. I doubt those numbers take into effect the cost savings related to the central location for courts, citizens, and transit.

Yeah, I agree it's traffic 101, but I haven't understood why Grand River in East Lansing has basically zero left-turns going westbound, but multiple going eastbound. Shouldn't it be more balanced?
-
Why would that be a traffic nightmare? There are left-turns from the east-bound lanes, they usually have a cutout so as not to disrupt the other two lanes of traffic.

Yes, last time I was there it was free on the evenings and weekends, with the exception of the night before a home football game and the day of the home football games. This is the big reason why the City didn't want MSU to build their parking ra…

Couldn't get in because the parking lot was full or something else? I didn't think the lot filled up that often. If you still want to try it, the ramp on the MSU side of Grand River is free after 6pm I think, and has plenty of parking.
-
Yes, definitely getting the ducks in a row. Sundance is moving next to BW3 along Albert.

I went to Troppo last year for Valentines Day and we were surprised at how empty it was on what is one of the busiest restaurant days of the year. The food was really good though, afterwards we wanted to take others there with us but we thought they…

I think a lot of it depends on demand, the finances of the municipality, and the red tape that it takes to get the subsidies. East Lansing is getting to the point where it may not have the finances to support subsidies for both the Center City Di…

I had been wondering what the state of the lawsuit regarding this project was in. The LSJ posted a story today about the lawsuit, saying that the plaintiff who is suing the developers wrote up a complaint that was filled with "junk". The judge has a…

The festival questions are valid. Lot 1 gets heavily used by festivals, as well as Abbot and Albert Ave. Presumably those roads wouldn't be able to completely shut down since access to the parking ramp will be blocked (or they could be blocked and p…

Specs for the development are now posted on EastLansingInfo: http://eastlansinginfo.org/content/public-hearing-center-city-redevelopment-proposal-set-wednesday Building along Grand River Building along Albert Ave
-
Yeah, I saw the same note that the university said. However, these developments are necessary and will become fully occupied. It is the developments on the outskirts that will suffer from these new developments. The majority of students don't wan…

The city could also affect parking by removing the meters downtown in trade for some shared payment that the property owners downtown pay (or just make it free like everywhere else in the city).
-
Those are *really* great ideas @gdbinlansing. I also really like the idea of a protected bike lane down Kalamazoo. When I was living in Brooklyn, NY there was a protected two-way bike lane down Flushing Ave with cement barricades separating it …

I agree. If the student size is shrinking then lower the amount of classrooms, but closing down neighborhood schools is terrible for the neighborhood and property values. It also looks like it is costing them far more money to reopen the school sinc…
