I have said here before that I am skeptical about this part of the park. Hey, it could be a great success but this feature will require consent maintenance to be one. I have not been to the city beach in Detroit, do people use it? what does it look …

I find a little hard to believe that an abandoned mobile home park/green space was the reason people choose to live over there, or that the handicapped will be trapped in their homes if the build a street link through the dead ends. It's true that t…

It seems like the new city administration has a better attitude about these issues. I would like them to place a nicer looking gate at the entrance to the new drive. The one they have installed looks a high-security gate for a restricted area. The n…

I heard the end of a radio news program Sunday am in which a fellow from I assume to be from Urban Systems [I think that's the company name] talking about the developments they are planning for the Lake Side block and beyond. I only caught the end o…

This all seems haphazard in the way the city plans road repairs/repaving. Pine St. has about six different surface conditions from newly paved to very poor potholes across whole lanes. This seems crazy to me. The same thing on Mt. Hope, now with poo…

Now I understand this better, thanks for posting. It seems that its economics over interesting attractive design in most of these buildings. I may be mistaken but it looks like the sticks they are using for the EL highrises are metal, used it the sa…

That is true! I think it would be appropriate for big corporations like GM and Granger for instance to help pay for the roads and highways that lead to their businesses. Here in Lansing, it has been reported the only 60% of our roads are in good con…

I am hoping that the US and Michigan governments will finally come to the understanding that infrastructure development is one of the most important things that the government does. Private companies don't build sewers and airports on their own. I h…

Great news, that building is really an eyesore right now. I think it is great fun and interesting to watch these buildings, one by one, businesses and developers are finding new uses for buildings that seemed beyond usefulness. The southside is were…

I take from this information that the stormwater is going into the river directly, I just have not noticed the points where these drains enter the river downtown. I have noted where the Frandor drain gushes up and enters the Red Cedar just south of …

I got a new bike for Christmas which I know jinxes the spring weather, but once it turns nice I will take a bike tour to see the campus, some of the features are in place I believe.

After all the water news from Michigan, it is disappointing that our Capital City is still a huge polluter of the Grand River. I am confused about the statement that most pollution occurs between the damns. Does the storm drain go the treatment pl…

That is exciting news. Have they published any new/final depictions of the buildings planned?

Yes, Pleasent Grove was a Lansing public elementary school k-6. A lot of kids I went to Dwight Rich JHS with came from Pleasent Grove. Students who lived in Church Hill Downs and that area went there. It was kind of the edge of town back than past H…

I have not been through the campus in a while, has this plan been built?
-
I am looking at this as a start. Maybe like building a stage that has yet to find a show. We will have to see what is going to fill all of the seats in this part of the park. The fireplace looks better than the East Lansing fireplace, it will have t…

Another interesting article in The City Pulse talking about a study that is being funded for a new performing arts center somewhere downtown. It noted there is one developer all ready to jump in on this. It also noted a couple of PAC's that have bee…

At the brewery, they have installed the front door and some more windows. I am not sure what to call this part of the building, perhaps a transom, a half floor of windows at the roof line? Anyway, they have restored the windows up there and they loo…

The City Pulse has an article about this development online. It offers views from both sides of the incentive issue. I think it pretty clearly explains why it will be a good investment for the city, and that we would have to spend a great deal of mo…

Considering that we have torn down so many historic buildings in Lansing, it is great that this one is going to be repurposed. It is beautiful and unique. I wonder what could be done to tame the traffic and make a more comfortable environment for…
