Okay, and give the Red Cedar developers a juicy parcel for a hotel right on the edge of the park......in return for their time and efforts and costs on this going-nowhere project. But at the same time force them to plant 300 trees in the park (2.5" …

....just my thoughts on it Definitely curious what others think

Okay, I will stop putting down the Red Cedar project .....if it moves forward I will root for it's success. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world. It would be kind of nice to have tall buildings on both sides of Michigan Ave. But!!! Ima…

Yuck, just glancing through this thread highlights all the problems with this project.... I was ranting about this project in another thread, I'll copy those comments here below and continue with some other thoughts after that.... "(the Red Ce…

And yes, obviously the railroad companies need to be worked with on those greenways. But not gently, the mayor needs to strong-arm these companies into giving up their properties for a reasonable price. Their properties have been blighting our city …

I would also argue that this is indeed of the utmost importance for Lansing. This city needs better public space and recreational amenities. The city has a weak/underdeveloped park system. It's sold off two of the most important recreation propertie…

I'm with you in terms of the quality of Lansings bike trails. Our system is fantastic and I love all the expansion. We are far superior to Ann Arbor in terms of bike trails (a fact that I love.....and that it is also undebatable). The only downside …

Couldn't agree more on this last point

Yeah, actually looking at this again -- there is absolutely no reason for this greenway not to happen. This would be the best thing for South Lansing since REO Town. Who's going to push this??? I really hope that this is already being studied. If La…

One thing that would be a huge win for this area (and the southside in general) would be to turn that old train line (discussed above) into a greenway.....at minimum from Holmes running north to REO town --- it would really light up a lot of small c…

Good! Hope they demo this entire site as a first step. They should pull all the asphalt out and just let the land breathe for the first year. Yeah, I guess a have some faith that a Californian company might try for a little more progressive desig…

....I hope those plants are shade tolerant

Yeah, I'd like to see it with the elevation (shown in the rendering) facing onto Shiawassee and with the addition of a 6-8 story tower at the corner of Shiawassee and Capital. I think this could feel like a big-city intersection with the right sized…

.....that said, I think the best cities have a mish-mash of architectural styles. So I would welcome this building on any vacant parcel or parking lot in Lansing. It's also a good urban building. Btw, Oliver Towers has density, height/scale, pres…

Interesting.... Gillespie -- pushing the exact same building 10-15 years ago, just a different design style. I personally think this proposal feels more appropriate for Richmond VA or anywhere in the south. To me the Oliver Tower looks like Lansing …

No way! This is a good city building

Dicey move. I don't really like that... Still rooting for this full-on though
-
So glad there's movement on this. Seems like it's in good hands with Eyde. The design looks really nice. It will be great to have permanent residents at this site in this part of downtown. I'd love to see LCC work with a developer to build a mixe…

Is that an old airfield in the southwest corner (1958) ??

Wow, great info. Thanks for digging in!
