There is an artical in the City Pulse about a plan to build housing and offices for CATA across from the Bus station. The project would include homeless persons services, with housing for them. There would also be low and market rate housing, and so…

That is good news. Sometimes it seems like these promised projects will never actually start. I am hoping this renovation will be at least as nice as the Homes Street School, which I think looks very nice.

I was interested in seeing the water works features at the Red Cedar development, so we went to "The Old Bag of Nails" for lunch [pretty good fish and chips] and took a look. I was impressed and glad to see something we have been looking at in depic…

I hope it looks better than the rather standard depictions. Did these architects all go the same school?

Thanks for the photos! That was quite the bike tour! I was happy to see some of the water features are now in place at the Red Cedar project. I would like to see the Michigan Ave water features, landscaping and REPAVING finished soon, not much to lo…

The landscaping of Ranny Park has begun, I noticed a lot of earth moving and the first trees being planted on the hillsides and around the ponds. I am hoping for a lot more trees!

The work on the exterior of the new MSUFCU building looks to be about finished, they put up the signage at the top and street level of the building and all together imo! the building looks pretty nice, like it is easy on the eyes, just a nicely desi…

thanks!

I read that the Money Ball Company is about to open their new headquarters on W. Saginaw in a rehabbed building in the old commercial district east of MLK. I hope this will be the start of renewal of that area. It could be a nice "old town" type dis…

Today I asked a worker who was with a crew installing more posts in the woodlot behind Erikson and Wells halls what they were for. He told me they were for hammocks! They are for people to tie their hammocks to, rather than trees. While I would say …

This looks like a very ambitious plan. I like the greenways planned. I am sure this is not part of this plan, but I noticed a line of posts [wooden signposts?] placed along the river starting behind the Kresge Art Center going down to Bogue Street. …

I noticed some activity at the long empty car lot on the south side of Michigan Ave. and Howard, crews were cutting down all the scrub trees and bushes that had grown over the years, and I could be wrong, but I think the rest of the little old house…

Barnes Avenue School is where my dad and aunts, my brothers sister, and I went to elementary school. It was truly a neighborhood school, where you could be in class with the same kids all the way from kindergarten to the 6th grade. There was no cafe…

I was happy to see this story. It seems like MSU is just waiting for someone to pay for a pool, which is OK, but it seems odd for some reason, maybe this gift will help get a proper pool for the many uses it could have.
-
Thanks for the information, I am looking forward to watching these projects being built. BTW campus was really beautiful these past days with many trees and flowers blooming. The flowering trees in front of Dem. Hall framing Sparty are extra pretty …

In other digging news, crews are digging up the outdoor swimming pool behind the IM West. It's kind of sad as it was such a great place for summer term students to hang out. I guess the only pool at MSU will be in the IM East. I was a swimmer and li…

This is an interesting plan, they say that Lansing needs housing so this looks to be a good plan. I was downtown today and took a look at the Hillsdale and Capitol Ave. project [Capital View?] and it looks pretty nice, better exterior treatments th…

There is land excavating and lots of fencing around the Farm and Shaw site. I was wondering what is going on in front of the MSU Auditorium, lots of digging there too.
-
I noticed what looks to be a staging area was set up this week in front of the MUS Auditorium this week. Also, a sign noting the closing of the lot in front of the West IM. Looks like these projects are getting ready to start soon.

Thanks, I guess I missed the earlier explanation. Seeing the drawings helped.
