Cool, thanks. As for routes, it'd seem there'd be room both for paths used for commutes and those used to sight-seeing. Some of my favorite rides have been me just trying to get lost along the route. That's how I found the old steps down the river b…

Okay, the connection at Mt. Hope and Aurelius makes sense now that I think about it. I'm less sure how you'd get the path to connect through Fidelity/Crego unless they consider the sidewalk on the northside of Mt. Hope the 'path.' Because the only o…

It's not show as a project on any maps, but the draft master plan speaks of a trail connecting the River Trail to the new Bear Lake Trail that would cut through Fenner and Evergreen Cemetery and then travel along Forest Road to the Bear Lake pathway…

Also, looking at the public service departments construction map, it appears the two-way conversion downtown is currently rescheduled between May and August of next year. This was updated earlier this month, so this is recent information. Also, l…

From the Public Service Departments webpage: On-Going Projects * Moores Park Bridge and the 3 Bridges West of Potter Park: These projects are currently in the process of rehabilitation and will start up again in Spring 2021. * Bridge 18 (ju…

These were never beauties, but Gillespie Group is residing Prudden Place up at Larch and Saginaw and bragging about this, but this is not an upgrade, right? I don't get why this kind of siding has become the rage, aesthetically. I bet it's re…

The Department of Parks & Rec introduced the 2020-2025 parks Mater Plan to the Council's Committee of the Whole earlier this week. It's a pretty big report, but the important stuff starts at p.189 on the council packet: https://www.lansingmi.…

City council unaninmously passed the personal property exemption for TechSmith, reminider, this is like a $225,000 abatement on personal property over ten years on a $15 million investment by TechSmith. Developers usually ask for much more. Though, …

I saw that, too. But the funny thing is that there is not any additional information in that that hadn't already been announced. We'd already heard that COVID delayed the conversion this summer, but we still don't know when in 2021 when this is goin…

Yeah, it's bad everywhere this year. Everything's kind of upside down. In the first months of the pandemic when we had the lockdowns, crime went WAY down just about everywhere and then BOOM, shot through the roof. Just a really unsettled year. I'm t…

Yeah, I've heard Fountain Place is management is actually better than it was say 10-15 years ago. We had a family friend and her husband who lived there years ago. She enjoyed the views - she liked to people watch on Washington from her apartment - …

Wait, your's was the house on the news about the morning drive-by a few days ago?! Like everywhere, I heard violent crime had gotten bad by the late-80's, here, but we'd largely fixed it by the end of the 90's. We had another homicide a day or two a…

In the council draft minutes. The previous meeting's minutes are always attached to the current meeting agendas. It's like this is a new idea or unpleasant surprise every time it's brought up to them. The city has been working to get this done since…

Oh, the housing they are building in this area wouldn't be market-rate. It's going to be senior apartments and subsidized/income-restricted housing. Still, if that's the plan for the Back 40, they need to be upfront about it. I've been wondering …

The one at 516 West Saginaw is Ferris Manor Apartments. The Capital Area Housing Partnership renovated this one. It's subsidized housing. CAHP kind of does it all, affordable/subsidized housing, counseling for first-time homebuyers, counseling and c…

Yeah, one of the more interesting developments on campus. Aside from reusing the old Shaw Lane Power Plant, the additions are using mass timber technology for the support structure. You can kind of make it out in the beams of the last shot.

I'm glad you brought up that last paragraph. It seems to me that there must be something in the works for the land for them to all of a sudden be so eager to remove the residents. BTW, it does look like the city fined them for trash on the property …

At their December 1 meeting, the Committee on Development & Planning refused to send the Form-Based Code forward to the council on December 14 to further "research and ask questions" at their next meeting the day after at the next D&P meetin…
