I hate to see us build great projects, and then (one way or another) fail to maintain them. I know the former gets you sexy newspaper headlines, and nobody ever writes up "and it's still nice, five years later".

Trowbridge plaza DQ going up, apparently, in what was the Wendy's, and then a Papa Roti.

I am writing a letter to the city council about yesterday's experiences and the general issue, as we speak.

I am worried about the crime on the river trail. This morning, my wife's bicycle was stolen from our home in East Lansing. Especially since it was an e-bike and they didn't steal the charger (crime is such a wasteful activity), I figure they might r…

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.)
-
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.
-
Just speaking personally I would say that Uber is probably a factor, especially for slightly more affluent CATA riders - I myself have probably been taking less CATA rides because of the ease and low-cost of Uber. (And if we compared the "real cost…

Smashy smash.

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 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.
-
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...

IN MAJOR LANSING DEVELOPMENT NEWS... nice to see that mega-pothole-asphalt CATA stop at Frandor get a nice concrete pad.

(It changes colors.)
