Darklink, I don't live to far from this site. As far as I can tell, I only saw utility work across the lot line on the ROW side. There is nothing showing the lot being developed in city records. As for the history of the site, I've never found …

I was up Wood Road, yesterday, and noticed that they've installed the traffic lights at the intersection with the extended Coleman Road. It doesn't appear they've paved this end of it yet, or even fully put in the curb and gutters. But it does loo…

Darklink, I'm less concerned about the rebuild of the Gannon ramp. That's one isn't really the problem, especially since it's on campus and isn't simply a rebuild of an existing garage. The Capitol one is the problem. Edit: YES! The Gannon rep…

Looks like the LSJ picked up on this story. Something new is that it looks like at least part of the city council is actually pushing for ground floor commercial space, at least. And in my opinion, all new parking structures downtown should be req…

I think there has been some confusion. There is not a new project in downtown or East Village that has been built - or is planning to be built - with a 1:1 unit/parking ratio; that is to say that that not every unit has a matching parking space. T…

Flint has the arches and they look nice, but really the whole bridge needs to be rebuilt if you ask me. Putting classy arches on this thing would be lipstick on a pig. BTW, brutalism can be done well and very interesting. The problem for me is …

It'd also be nice if they, you know, built some dormitories/housing near campus. If UofM - Flint can build and operate a dorm, any small college can. Commuter colleges are commuter colleges by choice, not because they have to be.

The only thing on next week's Planning Board agenda are the two LCC parking garage proposals, the one to replace the existing Gannon garage and a new one across from the North Capitol garage. Meh. https://www.lansingmi.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/…

Ratchet, the city manager is just on the DDA board; he's one vote. More than that, the Planning Commission, DDA, etc...are advisory boards. The Planning Commission, in fact, voted unanimously against the council approving this, so it's not like th…

I've been mixing the MSU proposal with the Park Place West land. Looks like East Lansing put out the two proposals for the site which responded by the deadline yesterday, one of which we've seen: River Caddis proposal Convexity proposal

This one goes to the city council for a public hearing. They can always move this to the business agenda and vote on it, but I seriously doubt that. It appears after the unanimous rejection by the planning commission, the developer has come back w…

Today's throwback thursday from the city: https://twitter.com/lansingmichigan/status/1230563953601761281

Kind of surprised by the response. What I posted as good news; the data I posted showed CATA turning itself around with major ridership increase for the first time in many years. It's consistently among the top for systems of its size in the count…

Hadn't checked out any of CATA's meetings minutes in a few months, and got some good news. Overall ridership for Fiscal Year '19 (which ends at the end of September, I think) was up 6.4%, which is the biggest leap in years and the first time since …

Farms usually increase the cost of the land, and of course in the case of MSU they are literal teaching tools. Like any development, solar developers are going to look for the cheapest land they can find nearest where they need the array to be. Bu…
