Speak of the devil, the Holmes Street School is up for a rezoning at next week's Planning Board. They are asking a rezoning to DM-4 Residential District, Lansing's highest density residential zoning. They are proposing 108 units of housing. The curr…

I got curious and looked it up. Apparently, it's owned by a company connected to the Eydes (Brookside Crossing, LLC) created in 1999. The company name would seem to imply commercial development, to me, and it's also zoned for commercial/retail. T…

I'd always wondered how this parcel had sat empty for so long. The good news is that this area is the only area west of the freeway in Delta Township zoned for commercial development, save for a small parcel at the southwest corner of Saginaw and Ni…

Not sure how I forgot to include this in my post, but short of a rezoning to G-1 Business District (unlikely) or a significant variance granted for height (unlikely), there is literally no other places in the city zoned G-1 except downtown and a few…

No, they've never released any of the downsized version. The current renderings on Quinn Evans website are for the original two-story version.

Saw the big hole in the ground, yesterday, for Heritage Hall in the northwest quadrant of the Capitol grounds. Anyway, looks like the Capitol's website last update for this one was last month:

I'm really thinking they are talking downtown with St. Joe/Malcolm X being seen as "outside" the core of downtown. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. BTW, both sides of Michigan at Frandor from Clippert to the city limits is in Lansing. The old Ponti…

I have seen SO many doe on Moores River Drive in people's yard this year west of MLK, more than I've ever seen. Might be the effect from the shutdown a few months ago continuing.

They overextended themselves. They should have kept their focus on their Lansing campus to begin with. So I see it as good news for the long-term future of the school.

Yeah, I was going to mention that the underpass is basically underground, already. lol It's flooded much more often than it being taken out of commission because of too-tall trucks. This is always the part of town that gets flooded the worst given …

Yes, I believe the last time it was hit was not all that long ago, maybe a few years. Edit: Here's a story from last year, in fact. Here's one from 2014. From that latter article: It was not first time a truck has become wedged beneath the r…

Cooley Law School is consolidating into their main Lansing campus by next year.

Anyone know the architects for this one? I recall Studio Intrigue putting out something years ago. I searched through the thread and found the old "South Edge Lofts" proposal, which look like it had metal garage doors on St. Joe. Thank god that iter…

Jared, is there a way to merge this with the original thread or move these comments to that one?

Here's the existing thread: https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/comment/12482#Comment_12482 My opinion hasn't changed; I not interested in the city being moved out of the existing building. I'd like to see them renovate it. Let …

Not sure where to put this, but I found an interesting twitter account of a rail fan who takes pictures and video of the trains coming through the area largely from or around the Lansing River Trail, though some are just general railfan pictures: Ri…
