I noticed while I was out running today that American Asphalt was laying asphalt for the Bear Lake Pathway. They were doing the section from Wabash north to Forest Rd through the Beekman property. I'm guessing that the section from Wabash south to C…

I agree on the trees mostly, but I will say that there were a few very large trees that were surprisingly close to the road. There is still one holdout that hasn't been cut down yet but I can't see it surviving the widening of Collins Rd. Hard to te…

Yeah as you head north on Collins from Dunckel the tree-cutting is very noticeable. Approaching the Forest/Collins intersection it is wide open. I can't say that I'm going to be using the on-street bike lanes on Collins with vehicles approaching me …

They are definitely cutting them down along the red line. I drove down there yesterday and it is a lot more wide open. It feels like they may be widening the road but that's just a guess. It will definitely help when they put in the roundabout at Fo…

I've always thought it was weird that one homeowner held out. I can't say that I'd enjoy being surrounded by all that activity and light.

That's a good point about the Club. I can't remember where I read it (it was last year I think) but I remember seeing that the trail extension that was planned to run along the east side of 127 from Forest Rd to Mt Hope was having issues because th…

There is a house on the north side of Forest Rd in front of the Henry Center (3509 Forest Rd). My guess is that it prevented the trail from running on that side of Forest Rd.

Thanks for the Forest/Collins info. I've been wondering if they had decided on a roundabout or signal at that intersection. Last weekend I went for a slow "trail run" down the trail segment being constructed between the Beekman Center and Cavanaugh…

I'd seen some of the other QD's had switched over to Mobil gas (Charlotte and Jolly/Dunckel). I found a link on their webpage talking about the switchover. Looks like 7 locations have switched so far. I don't know why they are switching though.

Any idea where TechSmith is talking about putting their new HQ in East Lansing? The WILX story didn't say.

The property at 1624 E. Cavanaugh is interesting to me. I feel like it would be a good location for a trail- or park-focused business to purchase, but that obviously never happened. I'm looking forward to the city possibly being able to purchase thi…

In the article on the LSJ they say that this will be connected to Sparrow Hospital by a skybridge: "The center will be attached to the main hospital, he added, likely by a skybridge."

The construction on Forest Rd between Stoneleigh Dr and Collins Rd is complete. Same alignment as before: 2 lanes with a bike lane on each side.
-
Makes sense to me. I have no issues with them.
-
It looks like they were rebuilt exactly the same as before. Two lanes with bike lanes and no curbs.

Rode my bike on Forest Rd today. The section between Harrison and College roads looks to be finished. It's striped, but it's still barricaded on both ends. They are still working on the section between Stoneleigh and Collins. The first layer of asph…

Gerber is a nationwide auto body repair group and bought all the Vision Collision. They also bought the independent body shop on S Penn (Capital City Collision) earlier this year.
-
My guess is that drainage issues may be the reason why it's never been done. There are environmental considerations that enter the picture because it's part of a floodplain. There are spots in Eaton County that flood for weeks at a time, and have fo…

I was able to find a little more info. It looks like the property Emterra bought is on the east side of Penn across the street from the BWL property. It's just north of the railroad tracks and south of Haco Drive. Here's the article I found: https:/…

So in the Summer 2020 issue of Lansing Living I got in the mail yesterday it talked about Emterra's new Recycling Material Recovery Facility that they are building. This is the first thing I've seen where any sort of location is mentioned. The artic…
