Anyone have an LSJ subscription who can read the article "Developer wants to build 300 apartments in Delta Township" published on March 30? I guess I could go dig through some township board agendas to get more detail, but the article may also have …

Looks like the rezoning request has been submitted for the Hepler site east of Motor Wheels to basically more of the parcels into the DT-2 "Urban Flex" district. The item reiterates that the developer is still trying to assemble the entire block, an…

I thought we talked on the last page that the the ped bridge is because Farm Lane is going to be out for quite sometime. Farm Lane gets a lot of pedestrian use.

The agenda mentions comments from public service about this. The sewer under Washington isn't scheduled for reconstruction until 2029 & Lenawee until 2034. They don't mention street reconstruction aside from saying that when it is reconstructed,…

No, I was just asking about the city parks & trails masterplan.

City council agenda has a map up of the parts of the parcels the city is looking to purchase: Site layout: I'd suspect that there will eventually be a reworking of the subdivision, here, to line everything up.

Looks like the council will approve the acceptance of federal grants for some path projects, next week. Included are: - Ranney Park Pathway/Coolidge Road/Grand River Avenue: Connecting areas north of Saginaw to Ranney Park and then the River Trai…

It is interesting that they kept it, as it usually pencils out that it's easier to demolish and rebuild and renovate. It must have been kept in good shape. The way they did the lot splits is also interesting and makes me wonder if they are going to …

EPRE was what I mentioned back in January as being shell companies for Hepler, so I think all of those and related names are his properties. But it's weird, because some of the Land Bank and shell companies appear in different colors. I thought mayb…

While they do mention it's still very early in the process, kind of wish they'd have at least labeled what the colors on this ownership map mean? Because, I'm not sure it matches up with the later preliminary site plan. I'm guessing red is other own…

This includes MANY more properties than I originally assumed, and we're talking 240 units, and increases the density beyond what exists at the proposed site. So, right off the bat, I'm pretty excited. My only concern is whether they eventually plan …

Sounds like quite a bit more independence than is typical with these kind of takeovers.

Was reading through the Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority's meeting minutes from last month, and it's mentioned in passing that Sparrow is looking to do something "green"-related with the Goodyear site, and that the purchase by Michigan…

Oh, wait, is that why they are building the bridge? Didn't even think about that. This wouldn't be a temporary bridge, then, would it?
-
There doesn't appear to be any significant amount of tree removal for this save to put in the pedestrian bridge, which would be necessary: What I'm confused about is whether this the pedestrian bridge is a replacement of the existing bridge t…

Yes, the lot across the street is, indeed, a paid-lot. Rates are generally cheap; one should not expect free parking in a downtown area. But, the issue I described wasn't an really about free vs. pay, but signage and education about the new-ish s…

Went yesterday and tried the Thai restaurant. Very good, and different than Thai Village or the Bangkok House, which are blocks from each other, so this is a nice additional option. It's already pretty popular, which makes parking a problem if you'r…

It can't be. They aren't going to clean any of those sites up to that degree, and aren't zoned nor being marketed for anything but industrial/logistics use. These are going to be everything but residential. In any case, I'm curious how much of the s…

A broken record on this, but I'm just confused why this can't go in all of the existing and empty idustrial sites (RACER) we have within the urban area, instead of another huge greenfield project in a township that doesn't really want it. Imagine th…

My mom called them to inquire about the restaurants, today, so she's looking to drop by. She was taken a bit aback by the prices of the meals she's looking to try, but I guess that's everywhere at the moment. But for her to remark on them tells me t…
