  • What I read/heard about the old buildings is that they are actively marketing them even though the new hospital is three years down the line. It could be happy talk but the report said they have had an interest in them for use as laboratory faciliti…
  • I just watched a brief WILX report, looks like it was just people telling the council why they support the project or not. My thought was haven't we already been through these issues? The report did not enclude much about the changes that were causi…
  • I was hoping to hear about the meeting as well.
  • It is interesting to see how the dollar bills keep flowing around this project changing the plan even as it is being built. What was a good idea, the retail, now has changed and a courtyard is a better idea? I have seen a few hotel-courtyards that w…
  • I thought one point they made about how the use of local stone and bricks that give a building local references are being replaced by mass-produced metal and plastic panels made in Eastern Europe and used all over the world. I understand spreadsheet…
  • It was a coincidence that I took a good look at some of the buildings going up around town when I read in the City Pulse that they had done the same. They critique some of the recent architectural trends reflected here, from good The Stadium Apartme…
  • I have noticed the billboards around town about this project, and they still have this dark colored building depicted. I am hoping for some better drawings of this project when he makes the big announcement! This will be another corner of Larch/Ceda…
  • I was also by this project and noticed the wood framing. This seems to be the preferred method, the thing that I think of is privacy. One house I owned was a duplex townhouse that was wood-framed and shared one wall with the neighbors. I saw it bein…
  • We have reason to be a little concerned when progress seems to stall here in Lansing, they talk about some projects so long it's almost miraculous to see them get underway.
  • I think the Scott Woods sewer project was handled in a much better way, then say the substation in the garden or the cutting of the Red Cedar trees by the last administration. While tree lovers could not convince the Mayor to reroute the drain he re…
  • I am not sure if the project has a page, I can't remember the name[The Metro?:} so I'll say at the old "Y" site there is rebar in place and cement being poured for foundations. Soon the buildings will be growing out of all that dirt they have been m…
  • Work is continuing on the older buildings on the campus. There is for sale sign in front of the house there, which may mean that the half-way house plan is not happening. It would be a great idea to rebuild the sidewalks and streets that connect …
  • Thank you for providing an in-depth look at this issue, and I find your points reassuring. I find it kind of amazing that this project's false start [cutting down all trees] was so long ago that there folks here who never saw what it looked like as …
  • I took a bone-rattling trip to the PO on Collins Rd. and then to Bell's Pizza, [huge car eating potholes everywhere!] from Bells I could get a good view of The Hub. It looks huge but seems to be fitting into its space. There a lot of big windows whi…
  • Yes, the building looks better now, a newer picture from 2017 is on googlemaps.com. They have removed the modern panels above the entrance and renovated the old storefront. I believe that the renovation is still going on. Are there any photos of Dar…
  • The brewery project on S.Washington has new overhead-style glass doors replacing the original window frames on the street front. It looks good but I would have rather they'd replaced the original windows at least on the second floor in their frames …
  • This project[roof top expansion] has been under construction for at least a year. I have not seen the siding, but it looks like a there would be a great view from up there.
  • I was very happy to see that they have emptied the junk and collection of old trucks, cars, and construction equipment from the parking lot next to the building at W. Barnes Ave, and S. Washington Ave... It had really gotten bad in recent weeks I'm …
  • Seniors and students! Oh no! Seems like people in East Lansing would be used to them by now. The way they use zoning as a tool to discriminate against certain groups or classes of people seems wrong even while understanding people always resist chan…
  • Good news that GM is planning on building the model Cadillac here at the Grand River Plant. I was surprised to hear that it would be a passenger car, not an SUV or crossover. I guess that GM to still wants to build cars, so there still must be a mar…
