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

Thanks for posting this information, now when I walk by the Farm Lane Bridge, I can understand the removal of all the trees and greenery in that area. It does seem a bit strange to see the plan for building a pedestrian bridge right there next to th…

I noticed that the lot on the corner of Hillsdale and S Washington has been paved and marked for parking spaces. Kind of disappointing.

MSU has removed all the trees from the Farm Lane and Shaw Lane green space where a new student organization building is going to be built. The trees were not very large, but it is always kind of shocking to see for the first time. One thing about MS…

I don't know where the '09 pavement is? I would like to see the street leveled to a small curb or even no curb, the brick work seems to be very old perhaps from the early last century. I could be wrong about that, but I think it should all be remove…

The exterior finishes are being applied to the west side hotel on Michigan Avenue. Nice enough so far, not very inspiring however, shades of grey panels, may look good when finished. At the "intersection" on the east side of Frandor/Skyview it looks…

The construction of new apartment buildings on Cedar [Ballpark North?] was well underway as I drove by yesterday. There were already poured foundation walls and lots of excavation going on. The new building site on Shiawassee was also busy with two …

Thanks for the information on that building. It is a nice enough looking building but seems small for most proposes. If I remember correctly, it was one of the first "modern" buildings on the block, though I cannot remember what was there before, i…

I was asking about the S. Washington Ave Block.

I wonder why the 1960's small brick office building has not been part of the redevelopment of this block. It has not been occupied for many years.

There is an interesting artical in the City Pulse about the redevelopment of the S. MLK Blvd. and the Logan Square. It includes the history of the shopping center. I am actually "old"! enough to remember when it opened. [and the elephant escape! Poo…

I tend to like graffiti art vs. tagging, I suppose the students would redecorate the area if it were to be covered over. It's cool I understand but it cost a lot of money to remove. I was over there yesterday it was so nice to see so many people out…

The trees and undergrowth were removed from the northwest side of the riverbank, next to the Farm Lane underpass. I have found that this is a part of a riverbank renovation and renewal project. Not part of the new building project. Most the greenery…

This looks really nice. I was not expecting the road and bridge improvements. They removed trees and shrubs on the north bank of the Red Cedar, I was wondering why, looks like some improved landscaping will be going in that area. I won't miss the gr…

I checked out the Lansing Shuffle the other day. The renovations are pretty nice, [imo] it could use a little warming up in the seating area and some sort of panels or dropped ceilings that would hide the pole barn look better. I did like the restau…

This looks like a nice contemporary design; the building site will be quite prominent on the corner there. The green space there is sort of unremarkable, I don't think there are many large older trees that will have to be removed, except for a baske…

I agree that Eagle is not exactly the middle of the woods but is always sad to see formally open land developed. I do support the plans for this huge site, for the reasons stated above, but I do wonder if similar square footage could be built to fit…

The city needs to do a better job of letting people know that parking is free after 5 or 6pm and on weekends. It would be a good idea to offer free parking all the time. I was shopping downtown several times during the holidays and the free parking …

I am thinking that because these places are "store front restaurants" making finer food to order the prices are higher than "fast food" chains. Plus, it looks like most of the businesses are not part of a large chain that would mean they pay high pr…

There is an interesting artical about the "Lansing Shuffle" in the City Pulse this week. I think I will check it out myself this weekend. It looks like this may be the thing that gets folks down to the riverside year-round and perhaps the best use f…
