  • Yes, that's what I posted.
  • Jeeze, this was a quick one. Either that, or I hadn't know how long they were working on it. Sound like the walls are the only thing they kept; they even talk of having filled in the basement with sand which I didn't understand for a number of reaso…
  • Next week's planning commission has some proposed rezonings for some residential projects. The first and major one is a suburban Kalamazoo developer looking to develop a 55-unit single-family and duplex development at the southwest corner of Miller …
  • This has been under construction for quite awhile, now, but the paper finally did a piece on it: Lofts Work begins on $33M affordable housing development in Stadium District LANSING — Developers have begun work on a $33 million affordabl…
  • Heard from a little birdy that there is a proposal to reconfigure MLK between the freeway and Ionia Street. Not sure about too many of the details or how far along this is, but they are talking about getting rid of the boulevard. I'm not exactly sur…
  • Lansing Twp property website shows it having been sold to a shell co. in December, which if I can recall I said belonged to Dymaxion. Unfortunately, they don't maintain permit records and projects on the BS&A website like Lansing does.
  • Nice! I really like how many old school buildings have been reused in Lansing.
  • Looks like there is a good site at the corner of Service & Hagadorn. Other than that, it makes me wonder the other areas they expand into in this area? Because right now, it's pretty well hemmed in by the Crop & Soil laboratory in the southe…
  • "south academic district within the biomedical discovery neighborhood near the colleges of Nursing and Human Medicine student-facing functions" Is this the area around the clinical center? I've never gotten my head around all of these new des…
  • The Farm Lane bridge carries significant infrastructure, specifically power and telecommunications lines. The new bridge will carries these plus redundant/secondary water and steam mains to better help serve north campus as the existing ones under t…
  • It's my understanding the Niowave news was announced with the airport news because they were talking about Niowave's airport facilty. I'm still a bit confused, though, because the distant rendering they released shows a new building where the airpor…
  • I think they announced soon after the bond passed, last year, that the kids were being moved to Woodcreek. Demolition was actually slated for late fall/early winter of last year. I guess this is something you can do when you have mouthballed schools…
  • A year out? Perhaps the deal with the land is to let the farmer go through one more growing & harvesting season, because, otherwise, it doesn't make any sense to take that long from the rezoning. And the interesting thing is that reading the boa…
  • 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…
