Review of what passed the city council last night: * The site plan and special use permit for the hotel/retail strip/dispensary Merritt & Park Lake was approved with conditions. Since the city owns the land and since this was approved, the…

Capitol Avenue resurfacing starts: https://twitter.com/LansingPubServ/status/1161615970269614083 BTW, having used MLK recently really brought home just how huge the street is. Like, it's big enough where you could have a boulevard, and stil…

It's up to the fourth floor, which is what I was getting at. It's not totally framed, but they have the decking up, so it's basically topped out. I noticed that you can't see it whem coming up over the MLK bridge over the Grand River. So I figu…

This one looks topped out, mostly. I am surprised by how short it looks, particularly compared to what was there. I just keep telling myself it's hundreds of new residents where an abandoned buildin had stood for years, though.

A country development, but Love's Travel Stop & Country Stores is building an $8 million truck stop where I-69 and I-96 meet at Grand River literally in between all of the ramps. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2019/08/13…

Speak of the devil, looks like demolition kicked off, today. From WLNS: A long awaited re-development project kicked-off today in Okemos. Demolition has started at the area known as the “4 corners” in Okemos. The construction is…

The LSJ article mentions the remediation mostly needs to be done on the site of a former gas station and the dry cleaners. The developer said he hopes to have the existing buildings down by the end of the year. They haven't yet filed the brownfiel…

Yeah, doing a streetview tour, it does seem that the homes aren't particularly spectacular or anything. Most of the ones on St. Joseph look like your dime-a-dozen four squares, and there aren't any bricks or stone homes being torn down. The only o…

Of course they'd be negative to the "low-income" aspect. rolls eyes at 'neighbors' Every time housing comes up for people at the lower end of things anywhere in the city, the NIMBYs swarm. Hell, some of the NIMBYs are on the city council, which is…

Yes, the trend in the last decade or two has been road diets, so no streets are going to go back to more lanes.

It's some upstairs apartments at 1208 Turner. As the agenda says, it looks like the renovation was completed in 2012. Old Town was originally called "Lower Town" way back when the city began because it was downriver of Upper Town, which is what RE…

A twitter posting showing the construction. You can kind of make-out the foundation footings on the Michigan Avenue side; wish this would have been taken in the morning: https://twitter.com/SteveJapinga/status/1159812358715453440

Not anything new in the council agenda next week, just existing things making it through the process. The old Cooley-Haze House's rezoning along Malcom X to allow it's use as a home for the owner and historic restoration/preservation store and work…

The LSJ gave a sneak-peek at the Eastern's new stadium: I am so happy about this. This is going to be great for the neighborhood and community as a whole. Couple this with Catholic Central's new stadium, and you've got q…

Hood, The LSJ did a story on the water tower, today. Apparently, it's water system filtration plant. EAST LANSING — Water flowing from Michigan State University’s faucets and fountains drew countless complaints from students over the y…

I'd written about the project sometime last year, I think, fromt the city council agendas. It's good to see that they look like they are starting it. I do hope they keep the facade as is, there is nothing wrong with it. The rendering is low-quali…
