A couple links on the Trowbridge Road extension on to MSU. Trowbridge extension 1 Trowbridge extension 2 Trowbridge extension 3 They do not specifically mention the 3-way intersection that used to exist on Harrison Road just north of Trowbri…

Old MSU campus maps click on the '1955, Michigan State College Campus - Back' map and zoom in. The Trowbridge/Harrison intersection was similar to that until approx the late 1990s. I'll try to find something more recent. I recall Birch Road di…

Trowbridge Rd, from the west, used to end at Harrison Rd. Approx 1/8 mile north on Harrison, a road began running east onto campus (it might have been called Birch Road). So essentially there were two 3-way intersections on Harrison Rd very close …

Yes, Grand Ave is not the most impressive gateway into downtown - Grand Tower excluded. The first several blocks north of I-496 - especially along Grand Ave (as it is the "downtown" exit along westbound 496), and along Pine/Walnut streets are under…

I'm happy to see the Trowbridge Plaza being planned for redevelopment. My main questions about the project are what you stated well. The layout of the area (496 alignment, Trowbridge/Harrison intersection) makes any development along Trowbridge Ro…

Absolutely, I agree with you. In driving by Marketplace today on my way home, I saw more activity at the site. I remember with the Capitol Club, thinking great they have a web site now, it may mean progress... Certainly the difference here is tha…

I agree, not much of a web site yet. But it's a positive development. At least once a week I drive along Cedar/Shiawassee, or ride along the River Trail, near the Marketplace to check on the construction progress. At least now that it has an actu…

A proposal to redevelop part of the Trowbridge Plaza west of MSU (near Trowbridge and Harrison Roads)... Trowbridge Plaza redevelopment While I generally like more dense development in urban areas (as opposed to more sprawl, such as the Northe…

I have not driven near the Lake Lansing/Wood Road intersection in a while, but I believe it will be a Sherwin-Williams store? Listing 1 Listing 2 (I Googled: "Lake Lansing" "Wood Road")

Wondering if there is a market for two new hotels in the Eastwood vicinity (making 5 total)? Will this draw more visitors/conferences to town or will this only draw away from the existing downtown/Okemos/westside hotels?

You're right, Clippert has a bike lane and sidewalk that would connect a future Michigan Ave bike lane with the River Trail. I think Mt Hope was fairly easy to reduce to 2 lanes on the Sycamore Creek to Aurelius stretch, the left turn lane wasn't r…

I agree, a traffic signal is the most likely result. I hear a lot that the trails would be "connected" but I'm not sure exactly what that means or how. I hope that the trails would be continuous. One of the strengths, I think, of the River Trail …

With the Delhi Trail being extended from Valhalla Park in Holt north to Jolly Rd (near Aurelius), does anyone know if it will be physically/directly connected with the south end of the River Trail? Or will one have to walk/ride along the sidewalk f…

Good point, I noticed the bike lanes last time I was on Michigan Ave. They end at the Lansing city line. I wonder if Lansing will extend the bike lanes toward US-127. Extending the bike lanes to at least Clippert would almost connect them to the …

Mt Hope Ave, between Aurelius Rd and the Sycamore Creek driving range was reduced to 2 lanes (from 3) with the addition of bike lanes on each side of the road. It was part of the Sycamore Creek bridge rebuild project. It ties in fairly nice with t…

I'm glad to see the 3600 Dunckel redevelopment moving forward. I'm somewhat surprised the hotels at that site have not been more successful (with the Waterford, and Clarion before that, closing). It seems there would be more of a market, even with…

That is good news -- one small step forward for that property. I would like to see anything that brings more people living downtown. Retail on the first floor or two, 4+ stories of residential above. Something similar to the Stadium District or e…
