Thanks for the transportation survey link, by the way. I wrote "clean up the graffiti!" eighteen times. (Truly though. You leave it, you may as well erect a sign that says "we just don't care that much". That's the message.)
-
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.

Smashy smash.

Dinner on the "inside" today.

The new 1855 Market includes a grocery store of decent size too, and it's closer to downtown than Fresh Thyme. But yes - if you live right downtown, or in the neighborhood north of downtown, there is no grocery store (unless you count CVS!) you cou…

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…

I do not know. They did say that the Starbucks which is apparently right next to the store is also open. The buildings behind this building were clearly still under construction, but don't know about the apartments above the store.
-
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.
