Their concept in Detroit seems to work, but they just have a lot more people and money to work with in a big city. Detroit Shipping Company is a competent business model, I'm just not sure it fits with Lansing. What I do think some people are mis…

It wasn't really anything behind the scenes; it was right out in the open. They had a fight over back-rent and healthcode violations; it played out publicly in the courts and Waterfront lost. And there were plans between that fight and the shufflebo…

Interesting little renovation in the stadium district. Across from Holy Cross/VOA shelter, the old warehouse that has most recently housed Ellis Cleaning (and before that Inline Design) is being refurbished. I was suprised to find that there was an …

I highly doubt it's going to be a tower; there would have been rumors about this since stuff leaks. Read through this month's Planning Board meeting (Oct 5th). It looks like the board held off on approving the sell of Lot 50 (Shiawassee and Pere …

Yeah, saw the parking garage today, too. They are going more retro with it than I'd have imagined; the brick veneer is nearly identical to the old 60's-era buildings.

The Michigan Realtors headquarters at Saginaw and Washington on Durant Park had its ribbon cutting, today.

In tonight's city council packet an ordinance for a noise waver for the reconstruction of 496, next year, between the Grand River and Lansing Road (i.e. the downtown section of the freeway). What I was not aware of is that they are adding auxillary …

Planning Board has been really missing over the summer; might have something to do with the change of the zoning code and people trying to figure it out. Anyway, this month is the first meeting of the board since June; the only two items of business…

A larger scale, of course, but Lansing is not unfamiliar with two-waying one-way streets; we're doing a major turn-over right now. I think it will eventually happen; it's really about the will to do it and if it's even on the radar of the city gover…

Very nice and interseting study done by urban planning students at MSU that the Saginaw Street corridor improvement authority is looking at. This is my old hood, so I really liked to see how others view the area. https://civicclerk.blob.core.wind…

Lansing wins $2M in state funds for a performance hall TUESDAY, Sept. 21 — The Lansing area will receive $2 million in state funding to go toward a future performance hall as part of the coming year's state budget. The shot in state funding, wh…

Yeah, it's really contrary to the zoned use of that land. It's oriented to its parking lot on one of main streets, so it will do nothing to activate the sidewalk out front. And the backhouse operations look to be facing another thoroughfare: Pennsyl…

That they call this a 'tower' kind of amuses me, but they are building a new building along Jerome. They do say that like it's other tower, this one has the ability to grow 5 more stories when warranted. Sparrow unveils $800 million investmen…

gb, here is the orientation of Building C. Here's the back of the building looking north on Evergreen. This is the side you'll see. And here is the front of the building off of Valley Court.

The new Form-Based Code has this intersection zoned as MX-3 - Mixed-use District Center. Further down Cedar at Greenlawn is another one of these zonings, and then Cedar and Holmes. So that's the plan of the city, to turn these areas in district cent…

What's west of Waverly, though, that would justify this as a priority, though? I guess it just really depend on any individuals vision for the trails. Like, yeah, connect to Fulton and Fine parks in Lansing, maybe cross the river around that way to …

The next economic development and planning committee packet is out for next week. Here is a first draft off the proposed Walter French renovation. Didn't realize this was including some commercial space.

Right; I think we're not even considering that, because it seems really fanciful an ultimately unnecessary. Any bridge(s) they took across the river probably wouldn't look nice, IMO.

I was thinking the exact same thing. There is plenty of public land to connect Moores Park and Riverside Park.
