  • I know the project is not finished but the new Michigan Ave improvements are very basic. I love the new paved street but, there are no finishing touches on the sidewalks like brick work or even textured patterns in the cement. Right now, what really…
  • thanks for your interesting post, I am hopeful that these ideas will come to be, and it is very nice to hear hopeful and positive thoughts about the future. What I am really worried about is what is going to happen to the price of Labatt Blue if tha…
  • I don't really enjoy thinking about next year right now! but seeing the construction for this project begin in February would really be wonderful and perhaps a sign everything is going to be OK.
  • Ann Arbor to Traverse City is not a very urban connector route it is true, but there are two large universities, and stops near larger [and poorer towns] along the way. A route up the west side of Michigan from Chicago to Petosky would attract a lot…
  • I read an artical online LSJ which talked about new passenger train routes in Michigan. I remember this idea was brought up a while back, the route from Detroit to Traverse City seemed to be the one that has some chance of happening soon with other …
  • The new Chevy dealership building going up on E. Michigan Ave. is a pretty nice-looking building and quite large. I could see a similar building as a new passenger terminal building out at the airport. [like that would ever happen] I would have like…
  • I think with more people living downtown soon those few blocks will have one of the ingredients for an urban neighborhood village. S. Washington could have vehicle lanes, I know they would not really want to be totally pedestrian "mall". I don't kno…
  • Yes, I know there are businesses that want the parking in front of their door, I think that the street is wide enough to have vehicle traffic, the alley in East Lansing is still a one-way street and although it is not very attractive it serves as a …
  • See now that's what I'm talking about, the sidewalks and street need replacement anyway, why not make it beautiful and functionable.
  • I really wish they would do something with or without the state funds, new sidewalks on S Washington Sq., street leveled to the sidewalk no curbs, more green space doesn't seem like something impossible for a city the size of Lansing.
  • I have read about more funds coming for Lansing for downtown development and improvement. I guess this about bringing people back downtown after the covid era emptied out a lot of offices. I think this a good idea as it will be people living in the …
  • It is just another small thing that seems to say "we don't care much about Lansing history" the UofM Sparrow has set up the Santa and his sleigh lights on the ground in front of the south side building, not up on the roof of the main tower where it …
  • I just read a LSJ online artical about the demolition of the Walter Nellar building that will take place in March. The spokesperson again said that they are planning some sort of "something special" for that space which [as with all Lansing future d…
  • I read a disturbing artical in the City Pulse about some sort of political protest I guess is what you'd call it politely, where people are being filmed going into Eastside businesses for proposes of intimidation. I would like everyone to patronize …
  • I was driving downtown to the City Market [very peaceful] and was happy to find Michigan Ave open. The drive after Frandor and 127 was very smooth with 2 lanes going west and a left turn lane and one east which seemed OK but this needs to be very we…
  • I also saw a MSUFCU "ad" or announcement board next to the Union ATM [my closest] touting their support for the Ovation Arts and Performance Center, which is new to me and a good sign that this center is really going to happen. I have not been that …
  • I guess we know how that all worked out. Sanity prevailing is now my modist hope! I took a closer look at the circle of red boulders in front of the new student center, and I believe this is an outdoor fire pit. Which will be cool if they actually …
  • Perhaps I was reading too much into "they did not say what their plans are for the site" hoping maybe they do have plan! While driving around I noticed crews cutting down all the trees on the SW corner of Oakland and Cedar, is this area part of the…
  • I read in the LSJ online that the Grangers are planning to tear down their building on Grand Ave. starting in March and kind of hinted that they may be planning something for that space. The photo in LSJ.com was kind of funny with this wicked old gr…
  • Thank you for your post, I was rather emotional about what happened and what may happen in our near future. I think up are right about the GM plant, but it was something that I heard that fellow from Ohio say the repubs were going to take a look at…
