I hadn't thought about that with the black brick but you are right. Whether intentional or by accident it's kind of a nice touch given the proximity. I'd like to see them use more quality materials where it counts in general. There are some loc…

http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2017/09/20/extended-stay-hotel-planned-former-deluxe-inn-site-reo-town/678590001/ I've always thought there could be a lot more done with this site. At least the design is something different t…

It was my understanding that the homeless angels were operating and renovating out of the old Burkewood Inn on Lansing road. They had signs up and I recalled reading an article on the renovations... As far as I understand @gbinlansing you're cor…

I'm all in favor of moving forward and changing/improving the area. However this is not an area that necessarily needs it. It doesn't make sense in any aspect. If developers are eager to begin developing downtown maybe it makes more financial sen…

Don't get me wrong...I'd rather see these built elsewhere. I think the City Hall should remain the City Hall. Unfortunately we've seen how the city just plows through anything historical so I'm somewhat bracing for the worst. I preferred the Beit…

As someone that appreciates the international style and quality of materials of the current City Hall, I've got to say I prefer the Beitler or Karp and Associates options. Hopefully history can actually be respected to some extent for once... Bo…

I remember them talking about connecting it to the River Trail but never recall it ever being shown in any of the designs...

@MichMatters , I thought it was amusing to see the Capitol Club tower reappear...way for them to be creative. Also, I agree, if people want to redevelop around the Capitol why not focus on the surface parking lots or garages? I recently interviewe…

@david_shane, you make a good point about the parks maintenance and while it's such a simple idea I had never really thought about it myself and just kind of gave up on maintained parks. Growing up we always lived by a park and going to them now it…

@MichMatters, where did you find the census info? There are some people I need to educate on Lansing growth that have the view Lansing is failing. It's really bothersome how many from Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids can be so ignorant as to what's goi…

I saw an image of the new crossing on the Lansing Historical Society's Facebook page the other day but didn't look too deeply into the photo to see how it's configured. It was my understanding that the Dakin bridge was originally for public use. W…

I'm actually surprised more developers/owners aren't taking advantage of tenant space in their projects. Even if there isn't the demand, have it incorporated and fit it out as needed. The Sparrow parking deck for the cancer center is a good exampl…

I've been quiet on this so I thought I'd share my two cents on it as well now. I was also very against this and discussed it with an electrical engineer who works in power distribution and is familiar with the area. To my surprise, because he also…

It's my understanding that Sparrow has been on board for a while it's just been quiet. I think Red Cedar is far from dead or on hold, I imagine a project of this size has a lot going on in the background despite the fact it looks like little to not…

Hood, I was pretty impressed at how well thought out and developed your concept of Washington/Mt Hope is. I work locally at a national Architecture firm and have done a lot of schematic design master planning in Sketch Up and it looks along the li…

I was disappointed to see that as well. That stretch of MLK could really use some help. I've always admired the building for it's simple, clean modern look where the showroom once was. However, it does look like they actually spent some time and …

Yes, there is a material known as permeable concrete. I don't know more about the product in terms of it's durability, but it looks very similar to normal paving; not block pavers. LCC does have one surface lot that is permeable concrete, I can't …

For the Michigan Ave access to the rivertrail, I personally had been among chatter/involvement to possibly rebuild the stair and liven up the bridge itself but that's all I can really say. I'm not sure where it went for there. I haven't really hea…

Regarding Washington Square and the Stadium District, I also don't necessarily see them competing nor do I see the closing of some restaurants a bad sign. My biggest issue with downtown currently is the lack of variety downtown. It seems Washingto…

I've also been surprised that one, the Olds Administration building is still standing, and two that nothing has been done or mentioned about it besides serving as a giant Cadillac Billboard. I live on the Westside and often use the access to the Ri…
