....and that house would make a great youth hostel or bed and breakfast.....or museum/tea house if the site needs to remain more publicly oriented. Parks and rec offices?

fyi, sounds like there's a meeting tonight - Lansing Park Board meeting The Lansing Park Board will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Foster Community Center, 200 N. Foster. Hope that some of you living in town can make it! Crossing my fingers that t…

from someone on LSJ comments section, some good points in addition to GB and everyone else's.... "This is riverfront park at the northern gateway to REO town. It has a historic garden and a very restorable 98 year old house on the property. The BWL…

Yeah, great info and analysis. That +2,059 international immigration number is interesting to me. I wonder how many of these are related to the university....or what other things that are attracting international immigrants (jobs, resettlement progr…

That's pretty funny about the seagulls :) Yeah, I'd love to see this landfill become a park at some point. Maybe more of a low-maintenance park with rolling meadows and aggregate or mowed grass walking trails. There's a neat view of the downtown La…

Glad to see this building taking shape. It will give a nice feel to this part of Grand River. Pizza shop, flower shop, bank, bar, coffee shop -- this stretch has the makings of a nice little business district -- it even crosses to both sides of the …

Yeah, where is the planning department on this?

Okay, I see in your post it's from the 30's. Thanks for sharing this

Oh man, that would've been a cool building to have in Lansing. A lot of cities have buildings like this scattered around or even in little districts, must have been a real trend at some point. Anybody know when this style was in? 20's, 30's, 40's …

*tie the area in with greenways that already exist. For what was started as an isolated freeway exit, this area has pretty good bones for more urban kind of development.

Does seem like a lot of parking and roadway in the site plan....and only one entrance and exit? There's a lot going on at Jolly/Okemos rd. I hope the township/county start working aggressively towards making this area walkable and pedestrian frien…

Agree that this is a bad move on BWL's part.....a terrible move, even. I love the idea of a youth hostel/tea house here. This site reminds me in many ways of the Turner-Dodge site. What a shame to be putting a substation here :( ....and the fake …

Oooh, it got political :) Hood - I agree with you on Snyder. Though, I personally think the world is too complex for libertarianism. And to both of you - I don't think that Lansing is on as bad a track as this discussion suggests. The City might…

Not sure how feasible it is, but I guess I'd like to see Cedar and Larch converted back to two-way streets through this portion of the city....and then push for more pedestrian oriented development along those corridors from Old Town down to the sta…

Anyone know the status of the 3-4 story apt building on the west side of this street? Seemed like it had a fire a few years ago but was slowly being rehabbed or something....I haven't been by there in awhile. That would be another important little p…

I think I would pay double to have an outward facing unit rather than looking into the courtyard.

Looking good in this latest rendering. It appears that Niles Bolton Associates are the architects http://www.nilesbolton.com/ I'm a little confused by the floors plans. Did they mix up the colors for residential and retail? I'm curious what the gr…

Moores park definitely has a lot going for it in terms of housing stock, scale, trees, river trail and park access. What it seems to lack is ANY retail within walking distance. MLK, Mt. Hope and Washington are all kind of dead zones through there. W…

Wow! I'm so happy to hear this

@Michmatters I agree that this is a high profile site, I just meant the stakes are low given how long it has existed as a parking lot. Obviously too many similar parking lots on this side of downtown, but also a lot of good building stock too. Will…
