Convexity has withdrawn their proposal for the project according to East Lansing Info. This leaves River Caddis as the only proposal. I liked the River Caddis poposal more since it will add more diversity to the architecture downtown though with the…

This plan may never get off the ground if the economy moves in to a recession, as it's looking this week and last week. I imagine lots of development projects that haven't put a shovel in the ground will get delayed since this virus may take three m…

This looks really nice, and shows what could have been possible had the YMCA building been rehabbed.

I looked to see if the forum software supports "likes" and the closest I could find was a plugin that was created for the forum software but it hasn't been updated in over a year so I'm hesitant to add it. I do wish there was something like that bui…

Wow that is a beautiful building there, @MichMatters . I'm glad to see this one slowed down too. As Saginaw currently stands, I don't see retail working here without a surface lot. But I think residential on top of the ramp would work. If the city a…

Yeah it would be cool to put an arch over the bridge (from north to south) that says "Lansing" on it, framed in such a way that when viewed from the center of Michigan Ave it will put the Capital in the center of the arch. As it is now, it's easy to…

I love these buildings. The increase in density really pushes us closer to having a more walkable, urban city. If these can lead the way to more tall buildings that line campus it can bring much more activity to the core of the city year-round since…

@LANResident If I were to take a guess it would be that the zip system is probably mandated by the Courtyard by Marriott designs for their hotels. And then the stick and vapor barrier is cheaper and Gillespie will use that where possible. Or like yo…

They are in the renderings but only some of the windows have them. I think they are Juliet balconies.

How does CATA count on-campus rides if the deposit box has a "free rides" cover? I agree that students should get use of the full network, I didn't know they were limited to on-campus routes. Though off-campus students often get bus cards from their…

The former Cosi finally has a new occupant. Snap Pizza had opened in that location. https://mobile.twitter.com/CityofEL/status/1228695315852689413

Also cool is that the land will still be used for sheep grazing and a pollinator habitat. I wonder how there will be enough light for the grass to grow for the sheep. Or maybe there will be enough spots without solar panels that enough grass will st…

The MSU Board of Trustees has voted 7-0 to build a 100 acre solar farm on the northwest corner of Jolly and Hagadorn Roads. The solar farm will generate 20 MWac of power and save the university roughly $1 million per year. Here's the full map and…

I think that's the alley between Block 600 and Liskeys but the gated wall would prevent any vehicle traffic from using it.

Counting the current parking spaces from Google Maps satellite view, it looks like there is currently 72 parking spaces so the relatively large surface lot will stay. It would have been nice to see the Gannon Ramp at LCC become more accessible to th…

Ah yes I should have looked higher, seems they're just reminding voters at this point.

When is the deadline to add items to the ballot? I just got my absentee ballot in the mail for my municipality (not EL) so the cut off should have already happened.

I don't know if it is fair to say that they don't really care which city the campus is in. I assume by "campus" you are referring to the research parks. Being in Lansing though opens the doors for more incentives that East Lansing can't offer. In th…

I wonder if it has to do with where the land is. Is the old Spartan Village in East Lansing or Lansing? Whereas the University Corporate Research Park is in Lansing. An additional one also could be needed just because McLaren will end up using all o…

This is pretty sad for me. From the article, "Fathy Shetiah said the new space will be more modern. Though it will significantly fewer parking spaces, it will have a drive-through that the old site did not have." There's a lot of character in the…
