(It changes colors.)

The under-the-bridge has been illuminated.

The nearby Mayberry single home development is also quite nice... you can certainly tell you're in new construction, that's one way to put it (unlike much of East Lansing)! Nice color choices though, sort of New England feel to them, the homes look…

Passed this now-finished DTN development in East Lansing earlier today, by the way, the "Beech Townhomes". Can't remember but I would therefore guess I was on Beech Street. Looks nice.

All that can be said is - eeeeeeek: http://eastlansinginfo.org/content/city-planning-staff-mistake-delays-blight-demolition-could-jeopardize-park-district-plans "East Lansing’s City Planning staff failed to promptly take care of critically-import…

"East Lansing City Council also approved Center City's brownfield plan and development agreement. Moving on to introducing an income tax." ~Alexander Alusheff, LSJ on Twitter

I have used the bike lane on Saginaw! And it amuses me greatly that it ends with a "share the road" sign. Like I'm going to bike in traffic on Saginaw. Like anybody actually wants people biking in traffic on Saginaw. Often I turn as the bike lan…

Hadn't heard that about Demmer. Got to tour their plant near Old Town once (a pretty rare thing, I think), saw lots of military Hummer parts and forward-operating-base shelters under construction. Neat work. Huge, very fast and rather frightening…

I just don't believe that MichMatters - in fact, I sort of wish I could. Lansing takes in enough money to have someone pick up broken glass in Adado from time to time. If they really can't find the money for that, then they're allocating money poo…

Totally with ya - I don't really believe the city lacks enough money for something that basic though, they either don't care, of the people who are supposed to pay attention to such stuff are not paying attention. I have tossed the idea before that…

Um, how about this list: https://t.co/tDtvy5eoxt .

That is interesting. Per this list: https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/2/general-lansing-development/p290 , only four of the "top 180" airports in America have a higher cost per passenger than Lansing - JFK, Newark, Northern Ma…

Woot. Incidentally I was reading a post on an airline forum about just how much more Lansing charges the airlines, per passenger, than most airports - about $25 per passenger was the claim, though I can't verify that myself. The real shocker, th…

LCC demolishing old water tower, I'm gue ssing because of new clock tower.

Thanks for the post - sigh. It really (a long with a bunch of other stuff) makes you feel like the CATA leadership really needs to be shaken up. Also... it feels impossible to do large projects these days. You can't let seven years go by after in…

EL's "fine tuning" a great example of the perfect being an enemy of the good - just let 'em build SOMETHING. Even if someone does come along and offer the "perfect" development, the city changes over time, ten years don't the road it might not feel…

Nobody here has mentioned Uber, but this past year I've started taking Uber for some trips where I would have used CATA before, especially in lieu of catching very late buses after a long day of teaching. How many like me I don't know.

On an amusing note, I noticed that the Capital City Grille in the Radisson downtown transformed itself into "Grillers" - a hamburger and fry joint with much cheaper food. Presumably this is just for the duration of Shuto-Con - and it was very busy …

Was told by someone connected to Envie that Troppo is closing in the summer.

Just to add to your "the land is valuable for parking, even though it isn't urban-valuable" point - I work at LCC and do NOT drive there. The faculty contract guarantees all faculty a parking spot, and if you give it up the college will give you...…
