  • Yes, it looks nice and light, I think this color will reflect the skylight and look very bright on a sunny day. I can not wait to see it in 3-D!
  • I agree the houses they are going to tear down are much nicer than those ugly townhouses. They look like a public housing development, maybe not that nice.
  • I was thinking these are just preliminary renderings, I hope so!
  • Thanks for posting these photos, East Lansing had a wide variety of business, not just student-oriented eateries. Sometimes all those years I lived out east all of these places seemed like a dream, it is great to see these pictures that spark great …
  • I liked what they said about the hotel building will reflect MSU architecture. I would hope that means sort of Prairie Modern I'm thinking the Library the Kresge Art Department Building, the Music Building. I do not think this means Academic Gothic …
  • I will have to walk over that way, I have not been there in a while. Have they done any landscaping?
  • This was when I was at MSU and I wouldn't call it a plaza then more like a wide sidewalk in the middle with parking a lane off Ann Street. The Small Planet was a true "hippy" vegetarian restaurant with pine wood tables and booths. When I was very br…
  • That would be a great place for a hotel/casino it's true and is really where such a development should be built. Take out the city market and there would seem to be enough room. I was kind of thinking about what they should build if there is no casi…
  • I never really liked the location, it would be a good place for a parking structure next to the Lansing Center. I would rather see a casino as part of a first-class hotel. There are many places that could accommodate such a development in Lansing. I…
  • It would be interesting to note if the ridership goes up when gas prices reach $3.00. I have noticed these unmarked white buses going up and down S. Washington the windows are darkened so I can see if anyone is on the bus. Just something differen…
  • I could use that route! Drove down Pine Street it is really nice! I can picture the whole downtown with streets just like that.
  • I like that. we seem to be retro grading our roads
  • I saw where they are working on the Michigan Ave. Bridge, is this just a maintenance?
  • I agree that there must be a better place for a half-way house type facility, but having people working and living there is good. The new building looks great, I wish they would pave the streets leading to it. Chavez/Grand River past Washington is a…
  • It would seem like the market for self storage units most be very strong. They are still working on that huge facility on Hosmer and now they are turning a hotel in to a U-haul and self storage business! Well in this case[on S. Penn.] something real…
  • Now that this year is already nearly half over, I was wondering about a few projects that were said to be starting this year. The river trail repaving project, has it begun? I see the signs saying it is going to happen but I have not heard of any pa…
  • I wonder if this project will mean they won't be building the proposed welcome center? I am hoping they do not put a surface parking lot on top of these new structures, and that no more trees will be cut down.
  • Garche, I have written here before about the small Cape Cod town I lived in, where they replaced the main street's pavement with a permeable blacktop that allows rain and snowmelt to pass through the pavement, it does not freeze or gather on top or …
  • I remember reading about the developer of the Red Cedar project who said the Mayor has big plans for the riverfront. The City Market area is the only riverfront property that is not a park or privately owned so there must be something up for that sp…
  • It looks like we must elect lawmakers[Democrates] that will change the mindset in our legislator and with our Governor towards really addressing our urban streets and infrastructure. It almost seems like adding planks to the end of a bridge that is …
