  • Not sure how I missed it, but on the Lansing River Trail Rehabilitation page on August 29th there was a summary of upcoming projects. They include rehab or replacement of 6 bridges, as well as new trails or extensions as listed below from the page: …
  • 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."
  • One thing to remember is that with the MSU residence halls closed right now there is a surplus of housing demand with parents of students wanting their underclass students to have the "college experience" still. What will happen when the residence h…
  • 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.
  • I drove past the old LPD South Precinct at Cedar and Holmes today and noticed that Neogen had moved in. Their sign is on the front of the building and they have put up a fence around the perimeter. I didn't realize that they had purchased the buildi…
  • I noticed while driving by today that the concrete foundation is now being poured for what looks like the Medical Services Building on the north side of the hospital.
  • I noticed the signs on the southern parts of the River Trail, South Lansing Pathway, and Sycamore Trail. I agree that they look good. I like that they are quarter-mile markers. Just often enough to be useful but not overwhelming like every tenth of …
  • If I remember correctly they started on the trail late last year. It's been mostly cleared. The easement may be the part near Cavanaugh south of where it goes behind Lansing Hospice. I remember being able to walk from Hospice over to Forest Rd., whi…
  • I'm really hoping that they don't ruin the bike lanes on Forest Rd. From what I remember seeing in the project, they aren't going to mess with them, but I won't feel safe until I see them back at the end of construction. I'm really looking forward t…
  • 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…
  • Drove by here today and saw how tall this is getting! Nine floors at this point if I counted correctly as I drove by.
  • I drove by Aurelius and Jolly today and there were signs that the building is still being renovated. World Financial Group is the name on the sign.
  • So I was driving on S Pennsylvania today and I noticed that the buildings at 6425 S Pennsylvania were being demolished. They were the office buildings directly north of Motorcars of Lansing. I hadn't heard about anything going on there and was curio…
  • I drove by to check out the roads today. The new road is slightly east of the easternmost University Club parking lot entrance. Alliance Drive has been totally taken out. At this point, it's not looking like it will be replaced exactly where it prev…
