I have wondered if it is part of an effort to move out homeless campers in a relatively non-confrontational way as well.

And the graffiti. That bridge in particular, and quite a few places on the river trail, need someone to go through and remove all the graffiti.

For the interested (and yes, I haven't posted in 43 years), caught Amtrak's Blue Water over the River Trail this evening.

"Parking Madness: San Jose vs. Lansing" https://usa.streetsblog.org/2018/03/28/parking-madness-san-jose-vs-lansing/ Glad to see Lansing finally getting some of that national recognition it deser... oh.

CATA average cost per trip (to CATA) $3.49, average fare per trip $0.61: https://www.nationaltransitdatabase.org/michigan/capital-area-transportation-authority/ . (PS - Detroit People Mover is losing $9.89 per trip by that website.)

Except that the signs say "Capital Complex" instead of "Capitol Complex". Maybe the official name really is the former, but if so it shouldn't be! Looks like a spelling mistake to me and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Are those state-controlled roads? I have been a broken record in East Lansing about the stupid-obvious need for pedestrian improvements along certain stretches of Michigan Avenue. Have gotten some nice talk back, but if anything have actually seen…

I made an animation of CATA's weekday bus service: https://twitter.com/david_shane/status/907451007898198016 . See following tweets for the "how" if you're curious. I did not write the program myself just slightly tweaked it and filled in some p…

Open now.

I would be surprised if they make no effort to restrict access to people walking by on the sidewalk, but certainly no evidence of any gate to be installed yet.

Courtyard looking a little more finished today, was walking by again.

Going up.

CATA wants to know what y'all want in their next CEO: https://www.cata.org/ceosurvey . There are a couple blocks for written comment.

It really does feel like a development that belongs in a downtown, somehow strange where it ended up. Hopefully it prompts that area to become more downtowny.

The sidewalks around the building and, actually, into the courtyard (which is still unfinished) are now open, I was walking by today. Standby for photos...
