Yeah, I'm surprised this wasn't pushed forward long ago. Although I do think it would be nice if they could preserve the Biggby location since it is the original location for what is now a very large chain of coffee shops and also it's unique archit…

The Baskin Robbins there has it's own unique story. I remember it was located in a section of the mall that jutted out in to the parking lot. This section was removed when the mall was remodeled, and the Baskin Robbins moved to be located next to Me…

Weird that Oldsmobile Park was still designated as light industrial.

Yeah, I think eminent domain here is actually in the right direction. Years back the city took the odd step of condemning the Cedar Village area as part of their East Village plan. That condemnation was absurd, whereas these buildings are actually o…

Nothing really new, but DTN is now saying that it is going to try to proceed without the Strathmore-owned properties. I'm starting to doubt that DTN will actually start any work on this project. http://statenews.com/article/2014/04/park-district

Yeah, I don't know why (or if it is normal) that half of the money was spent on the design and engineering work.

Of those projects, I'm most excited about Moores River Drive and I96 as they should both improve safety.
-
Yeah, I agree. Zoning in these parts really needs to change to much lower density.
-
Thanks! That makes a lot more sense. I think it looks pretty good too. Moving east- and west-bound traffic to the same side of the median should also indirectly lower actual travel speeds of the cars, which will in turn have another positive impact …

Yeah, that is quite confusing. Maybe they will put some small islands between the lanes at stopping points?

If I had control (and the money!) to determine what happened next with the Walter Neller property, I'd probably build something midsize (4-6) stories there. Mixed use with office and residential on the upper floors and retail on the ground floor. Al…

This picture of the Lansing Civic Center looks very similar to the interior of the MSU Auditorium.

Well, at least if it is built in this design the buildings should go up pretty fast I've been real happy with Hepler's work so I'm not worried about the execution here. The Prudden Lofts have exterior parking and maybe some carports (I can't rem…

I was just in Brooklyn and while there rode their MTA Select Bus Service route. It was super fast to get around. You purchased the tickets before boarding the bus and could enter any of the doors. This is enforced through random inspection at times.…

Very cool to see the parking laid out like that. The Louvre Museum in Paris has similar underground parking underneath the Gardens Toureilles, but I think theirs is 3 levels deep.

Fresh Thyme Grocery store has signed a lease for the Goodrich spot, so it seems that the project will continue to move forward. I'm curious if Kevin McGraw is going to change the plans, or was just trying to delay the planning commission meeting unt…

Yeah I noticed it too, I don't think they would need it if it was just to get supplies up there.
-
Yeah, really weird positioning for the retail building.

It does look like there may be sidewalks connecting to Brody and that they have left the plans wide enough to connect the roadway to Brody but probably don't have permission from MSU for it. I doubt the university will allow them to connect but as l…

Will there still be easy pedestrian access from the south-east side of the lot in to the Brody Complex? Allowing good east-west travel without having to go to Michigan Ave will be crucial for non-motorized transportation.
