I am bit surprised by the reaction to this plan. It may not be the perfect solution, but I think it is pretty Lansing positive in using a historic building keeping City Hall downtown on Capitol Ave... I don't enough about the use of a private develo…

The city announced that they are going to renovate the Masonic Temple for a new City Hall. I really like this plan.

I was writing about the former book/Spartan gear shop [next to the bubble tea shop] behind the fountain on Grand River, the space next to the Jackson Building does have something going on but is all boarded up so I can't see what they are doing, see…

The two Albert Ave retail spaces in the Newman Lofts building are under construction, the space next to Jolly Pumpkin is going to be a bar and grill designed for "non students" I guess is a nice way to say it won't be a college dive bar. I don't kno…

Yesterday I noticed a large new mural being painted on the western wall of one of the new apartment buildings in REOtown on S Washington. I did not get a real good look at it while driving but it looked really nice with robins and the Capitol Buildi…

Thanks I see that was the plan now.

On my walk today I was surprised to find Farm Lane all repaved with new lane markings leading up to the old bridge which is open for traffic. I guess this project is happening in phases. I was up the street so I did not see if the pedestrian bridge …

The first thing I noticed on this site was they cut down all the trees. Many of them were healthy and quite old. I am hoping the city develops a plan to make this area more pedestrian friendly. There sould be walkways to Old Town and Downtown perhap…

Crews seem to have finished underground utility work on Farm Lane and were paving the street. I wonder if the plan is to renovate the current bridge structure or replace it. Also, they were pouring cement for the new walkways to the pedestrian bridg…

I think this looks pretty cool and very different than the recent developments. Which is great progress in my opinion. I think these projects will spur others. Making downtown a beautiful place where people work and live will help to create an "urba…

I read today via the MSN/LSJ online news feed, that the Mayor and developers are going to make a major announcement on the 8th of August about developments that "will transform the skyline of Lansing" with 450 housing units, retail, office, and gree…

The complete span for the pedestrian bridge at Farm Lane is sitting on the old bridge ready to be installed. It looks nice but it will have much higher side rails/walls, in other words it looks much larger than the other pedestrian bridges, it will …

This administration seems to have little imagination or taste when it comes to this plan. This reminds me of the State's "secondary complex" when the State moved a bunch of departments out to the unremarkable buildings out in the -brubs. Lansing in …

Thanks for all the information, I wonder if repaving the rest of E Michigan is planned as part of the Red Cedar project. It looks like this project will end at Clippert St.

There is an artical about the reconfiguration of East Michigan Ave in the weeks City Pulse. I would like to see a better depiction of the plan; it was hard to get excited about the project with the basic drawing they published. Wider sidewalks and m…

I went over to Frances Park to check out the Rose Garden, I found it blocked off for construction. They have replaced some of the sidewalks, adding a sidewalk right through the middle of the garden which was a grass path:{, and put up a new pergola.…

Thank you, for the pictures, much easier than trying to catch a glimpse of the sites from the car. The Stadium North project seems to be going up very quickly. I had not been that way in a while, it is kind of surprising. At Ranny Park I seem to rem…

The city broke ground on the new entertainment center downtown today. There was a depiction of the center in the online LSJ by Intrigue Studios! [as they do] kind of busy but interesting. I noticed they are calling the Hillsdale part of the new hous…

I read in today's City Pulse an artical which included a description of the new "Student Wellness Center" [kind of a lame title] that included a swimming pool. It is great that so many people have donated to the sports facilities, I think a new swim…
-
That is good news. When I think of the other sports facilities on campus it seems odd that a new pool would be such a great expense that they have to look for outside funding. I don't know for sure but did any of the newer facilities need to get don…
