Okay, so the permits & projects at the assessor tool were under an adjacent address. No information given except that permits were pulled in February and May Glad that this corner won't sit empty for years like the old gas station down the stree…

I've noticed that the former Rite-Aid at Saginaw and Clippert has been under reconstruction. I was surprised it didn't sit and rot forever as these kind of buildings often do. Frandor actually owns the building. But what is curious and unusual is th…

Thanks, Hood. I thought it was weird a park in East Lansing would be named "Capital City" Riverside Park. But it's also strange that this hasn't been mentioned by the City of Lansing's parks department.

I feel like it's this: Capital City Riverside Park https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2025/04/04/capital-city-riverside-park-red-cedar-development/82792463007/ But I'm still quite not understanding what everyone is talking…

I've found out maybe in the last year or two that it appears that it's the bridge owner's responsibility to clear logjams from bridges. I read a Lansing city council resolution where they were thanking a railroad for clearning one, which seemed odd …

Had to look the address up. This is a block south of Burcham. Edit: Looks like this is zoned "RM-32 City Center Multiple-Family Res," so now special uses being requested, and simply an ask of waving some of the parking requirements, which the…

Brownfield plan to be introduced next week for renovation of the City Rescue Mission property + 2 buildings to the west. Typical ground floor commercial units with 15 residential units on the top floors. Apparently, the apartments of the 2 buildings…

I am sorry I mentioned the two structures. lol I'd only mentioned them to say that I think that they'd unfortunately not been well maintained enough to make saving them worth the cost/trouble. This north end area has plenty of old houses, some maint…

You remember when I was talking about the legal distinction between "local streets" and "major streets"? Well, MDOT has an interactive map showing them: Michigan Road Jurisdiction I think this map shows basically the same thing (though without…

noticed the building at Kalamazoo and Pennsylvania [ a long-time eye sore] has been renovated at least on the outside with the sort of common steel and rock faced brick style of facade you see these days. Passed this for the first time, today…

Rendering: The north boards and south board will be updated, and the final look will be very similar to the previous scoreboards. I figured as much. What you're probably just seeing is that they haven't put the caps/backs on, yet.

Now I'm really quite annoyed the city didn't take Granger up on its offer after seeing what we came up with for the new city hall. lol

I'm confused. They are only replacing the existing score/videoboards. They wouldn't have screens facing away from the stadium.

Next planning commission includes a site plan for Turner North: The item is an Act 33 Review, required when selling off city owned land. Site 0.385 acre parcel a block north of the One the Grand row of condos on Turner. The review says the si…

Demolition of Lansing's Walter Neller building scheduled. Here's when it will come down LANSING — The Walter Neller building is less than two weeks away from a June demolition date. Granger Group, which owns the 122 S. Grand Ave. building, is…

Looks like the Brownfield Redevelopment Board is going to pass the brownfield plan for the old commercial plaza at the corner of West Miller and South Washington. I really wish they were starting over, here, because everything sits back too far from…

Looking at the passed budget, noticed an item that will fund a feasibility study for a community center on the southeast side. You've got Foster on the eastside, Gier on the northside, Letts on the eastside, but only Schmidt in the geographically ex…

Was looking through the adopted budget, and something that caught my eye is that a major transfer was made from our "major streets fund" to our "local streets fund" so that we go from spending $4.48 million for local streets this fiscal year to $13…

Came across this photo on the historical society's facebook looking up Logan (MLK) at St. Joseph around 1972. gb, you've talked about this area, before. Church was a COGIC at the time, but was originally Mayflower Congregational. Though it's …

The city's Public Service Department construction map simply says "Planned for 2025" "Not Started." I do recall this was supposed to have happened months ago, so I have no idea what happened. They give the contact for this particular project as bein…
