As expected the, public safety campus siting is mostly wasted space. Looks like at least half the space on the combined parcels is some form of surface parking. This is kind of what I'd expect a new city hall site to look like, too. Just ZERO…

Speak of the devil. Beitler wants another bite of the City Hall apple Chicago-based developer J. Paul Beitler is still ready to buy Lansing City Hall and renovate it into a hotel. “Right now,” as he put it — six years after his first attempt…

The LSJ did an update on the public safety headquarters the other day. I was glad to hear that they were able to shave off about 10% of the cost because the mayor was able to convince some ratings agencies to upgrade Lansing's bond rating; it's $175…

Yes, it's my understanding that when they get through with all of the heavy work, that the street will be repair as part of the overall project. It's supposed to happen some time this year.
-
Yeah, it is a pretty basic street reconfiguration, not really a streetscape project. What I'm excited about is the elevated pathways next to the sidewalks. It's funny, because I've been down Michigan the past few days and can't even imagine there…

Looks like Delta beat everyone else in the region to this. lol Delta Township officials approve measures to allow 'cottage housing.' DELTA TWP. — Township officials have voted to allow developments featuring homes as small as 440 square feet.…

Found out the wall at the north side of Ranney is, indeed, a water structure. It'll be used to aerate and filter water from the drain, and was told it'll look like the renderings you all were talking about, though I don't really remember them. A pre…

What's the Lake Lansing trail?

Aaaaan, here it is. From WILX: The 2024 state budget put aside dollars for the city of Lansing, allowing the city to move forward with projects that were halted due to a lack of funding. Such as the relocation of city hall. “This building is …

Was just reading on WILX about the +$9 million for infrastructure upgrades around the airport, and one of the projects mentioned was a pedestrian walkway (i.e. sidewalks, lol) from Grand River all the way to the terminal. I just realized that despit…

It's the only thing that would fit with "campus plan." What they are building down on South Washington north of the park is planned as a campus. I guess we'll get more news whenever the city decides to release it.
-
Yeah, I think the LSJ was reporting on this incorrectly. The House Fiscal Agency's description says: Conference includes $40.0 million GF/GP one-time funding for the development costs of a city's campus plan for Lansing that includes the moder…

Might discuss this more in the general thread, but I think the $400 million is for the new public safety center they will be building down on Washington.. The $40 million for the "Lansing Housing Project", I've been told, is being spread out over mu…

One of the local items I caught in the budget passed last night is $600,000 to improve a trail between MSU and Lake Lansing. I know you've discussed trails before, Hood, but would you perhaps know which one this is off-hand?
-
Yeah, I'd love to see the size (length, width) of this ROW; I don't think I've ever seen a map showing it and how it relates to whatever the CSX property line is. That is, unless the CSX runs within part of the East Street ROW. Just kind of curious …
-
Hey, on the east side trail which will run from Shiawassee to May along the CSX railroad tracks, I was curious if anyone knew if they had an agreement with CSX or if there is city-owned right-of-way, here? I know the ROW for unimproved East Street u…

Noticed in a look through some old planning commission meetings from May that a developer is turning the old office buildings in Grand River Park where Main Street turns into Lansing Road into an apartment building and the other will be rented out t…

Neogen expansion:

I think for Urbandale, short of stuff on Kalamazoo, it actually really does make sense to just return it to nature. It's just too low-lying and then the freeway turns it into a bowl. That is, at least the township portion; the city did the right thi…
