To be clear, Lansing Township existed before the city did. The township was organized in 1842, even before the area was even chosen as the capital; Lansing wouldn't even exist until 1859. I'd like to see the parts of it on the east side annexed o…

If I have any criticism, it's that the white background is hard on the eyes. Perhaps like on the old board it needs to be off-white and some color applied to the borders to better delineate the pages. But that's not really a huge deal, just an aes…

The only issue I've noticed is that you can no longer see the date/time on the main page when the thread was last posted on. That was on the old layout, correct?

Darklink mentioned that someone was renovating the old Bonnie's Plan bar at the northwest corner of Cedar and Saginaw. Looks like new windows went in the other day. Really, it just needs to come down and them building something more substantial,…

Yeah, the northeastern section and Urbandale directly to the south obviously belong within Lansing's borders. The southeast section could go with East Lansing since it's part of MSU's research/experimental farms. The western portion is large eno…

Just got a message back from the State Boundary Commission I sent last night. They said that "yes," my reading of the law is correct. They also said that the other option is an "Intergovernmental Agreement" where the township board and city counci…

An end of an era in my old neighborhood: Roma Bakery is closing next month after 50 years in business. They say that someone will buy the building but not the business. The Gillespie Group has practically bought up every property in the area, so I…

BTW, was geeking out the other day on looking up the annexation process in Michigan between municipalities, and found something pretty major. Annexation of territory in charter townships is governed by the Charter Township Act of 1947. Apparentl…

Unfortunately, Lansing Township doesn't really have township packets, but their early August agenda mentioned authorizing the Waverly Road Shared Use Pathway. I believe this is planned to link with Lansing's system at the Waverly Road bridge and th…

The conversion happens in mid-2020. The resurfacing was planned long before Lansing knew it'd get the money for the two-way conversion. It's also taking place along Allegan, Ottawa, Grand, Pine, and Walnut. The two-way conversion was the result o…

One of the stairway elevator towers is rising on the hotel portion on the eastern half of the site. Was surprised how quickly these things seem to rise. https://twitter.com/GillespieGrp/status/1162777804137742337

Looks like the city transportation committee hadn't yet made a recommendation on the traffic study the developers submitted, so the planning commission couldn't vote on the site plan and special use permit at their Wednesday night meeting. lol So i…

The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the modified site plan for the second phase of Gaslight Village (The Cottages), tonight. This one is now 50 units in a number of different attached buildings. I'm still confused why the developer k…
