Yeah, Reutter Park was built as a monumental park/square. Playgrounds in these kind of parks are tacky. I'm not even a fan of the one Durant Park, which is similiar. But at least that's one is in a residential neighborhood, mostly. That said, si…

Just to be clear, there was public outreach for how to redeveloped Reutter Park. From the LSJ in October: It's also an area in flux, with more than 300 new market-rate apartments planned for Reutter's immediate vicinity. City officials p…

Yes! LCC scraps plans for Capitol Avenue parking ramp after pandemic changes the circumstances They are citing COVID, but the truth is that there was significant public backlash to this. Anyway, they want to add two additional levels to the G…

Heads up: All commercial/residential construction can begin again, tomorrow, with proper virus mitigation plans.

Cool. I took this map from the parcel viewer to show the two sites. It's about 6 acres. Makes me wonder what BWL will do with Penn-Hazel.
-
I'm confused. The BWL's Penn-Hazel Complex is very much still in operation. BWL will move its operations from the site to the Verlinden site when the Delta Energy Park in Delta Township is completed next year. I am only guessing that that will …

I imagine they are talking about the BWL's Penn-Hazel Street Complex at Pennsylvania and Hazel. The operations of the complex are planned to be moved to the old Verlinden site on the westside when the Delta Energy Park is completed next year. At l…

I noticed in the city council agenda for Monday that MichiGrain Distillery on Shiawassee across from Lansing Brewing Company is requesting a micro brewer license/beer and wine tasting permit. So it looks like they are proposing to add beer and wine…

I guess the debate is what any one person considers market-rate; restricting apartments to age doesn't mean that it's not market-rate. In any case, the senior village had been moved off the corner as of the February 2019 revision with was passed in…

The senior building is still there; it's behind the market rate building. This was done all the way back in February 2019. Only thing they are changing is removing the plinth and reducing student housing.

You've misunderstood, gb. They are doing back to the MEDC to try and get the funding; that's why they changed the plan.
-
The LSJ did a story on this, today. Apparently, the extra surface parking is instead of a Phase 2 of student housing. But I'm pretty sure the previous iteration of the project also included a surface parking lot over that way. And, really, why bu…

Looks like the Planning Commission unanimously approved the rezoning and special land use for the new parking garage, as it was referred to the city council on Monday. The Gannon Ramp special land use was also sent to council. It'll be interesti…

They've had to make changes, of course, so there is now a proposed 11th amendment to the development agreement. It seems the biggest changes include the total elimination of the underground parking structure, and reduction in student housing from 1…

This project was officially dead the moment Trump was elected. It required approval by the federal government, and Trump has been openly hostile to Native American gaming (and Native Americans in general; I mean, he literally just decertified a tri…

Check out this old photo of Oldsmobile Park: It must be from 1996 or 1997 as the current Shiawasee Street Bridge appears under construction, still. You can see the old railroad viaduct that used to serve the Ottawa Street Station. Also, 101 Sou…

Looks like the Planning Board will hold their meeting next Tuesday, remotely. The only thing on the agenda is the rezoning and special land use for the proposed 5-story LCC parking garage at the corner of Shiawassee and Capitol. At the previous me…
