Nice, thanks for the picture! I like the use of color on here. All brick would have been cool, but the colors here look tasteful and not too loud. I think this was a very nicely done project with the exception of the drive-thru lane.

I wish I could have made it out to Scott Gardens for the protest. Is the next gathering about this on August 22nd still?

The City of East Lansing is looking at spending $6 million to fix up the parking garage underneath the Marriott Hotel. In December they contemplated selling the garage to the hotel but later decided to keep the garage and run it themselves. The proj…

I was wondering the same thing. Looks like they were reporting on some old data. The Red Cedar Renaissance thread said that construction should start in August, so maybe it will start in the next week or two?
-
I believe there were plans many years ago to convert the Howard Johnson to student apartments but the funding fell through due to the recession. Maybe the rumor of the demolition will be related to tearing it down and building student apartments in …

The August Construction Junction is now in video format and covers the 1855 development as well as the Breslin Center additions. I didn't realize until now that the 1855 buildings fronting Harrison Road would include retail, that's great news! ht…

Holt Road between Aurelius and Eifert is being resurfaced and converted from a 4-lane road to a 3-lane road with a middle turn lane and paved shoulders for bicycles. A new concrete sidewalk is also being added to the north side of Holt Road from Eif…

The lady that is running it is getting the land for such a steal. Only paying $10,000 per year to lease the land from the city. With that kind of setup, it should be impossible for this to fail. I think the lease is a bit low, but otherwise the c…

Yeah I think a local history museum would be cool. RE Olds Museum has some of it too.

Yeah that's great news for Metro Detroit. I'm very happy to have been wrong in my previous posting. Hopefully the restructured deal still creates a strong mass transit program for the region.
-
So in the past week metro Detroit's transit future was put on hold for likely another 10 years+ by two anti-transit counties, and now Lansing has their transit plans put on hold by anti-transit Meridian Township people. And legislators wonder why pe…

Wow that really stinks! Where did you see this gbinlansing? I checked LSJ, City Pulse, and State News, no mentions.
-
I'm surprised the city councilman you talked to wasn't sure what the space will be used for. I was under the impression these would turn in to surface lots until a development project came along.
-
Yeah from the wordings in the replies on Facebook it sounded like the sale was already a done deal. Perhaps they're still working out the necessary paperwork and financing still.
-
There's a sign up next to the "under the bridge" project but I didn't slow down today to read what it says. It may have been there for a while now.
-
Wow, cool to see what those stacks were used as originally!
-
The number of new apartments is less than those it is replacing. Remember, all of Cherry Lane and most of Spartan Village have been removed. There are less families choosing to stay in university housing nowadays, and the more students are requestin…
-
Yeah the location is really odd though. It's not built well in to the existing mass transit. The ideal location would be along the BRT route and close to a population center, not directly across the street from presumably permanent corn fields. T…
-
Well I think part of the skepticism of it happening is rooted in the NIMBY-ism of the communities east of Lansing. It does make it seem as though it may come sooner ironically.
-
Those would be great improvements. High speed roads both reduce road biking and sidewalk walking. Neither Larch nor Cedar need to be this wide, but the good thing is that these roads can be placed on a diet with the extra space used for dedicated…
