Why would the Mayor feel he has to keep plans for City Market secret? They often seem eager to announce plans for projects that never get off paper, what is different about this situation? Expanded parkland sounds right to me perhaps with concession…

How nice it could look if they built new streets and sidewalks here as well.

The LSJ.com wrote today about a sculpture to be placed in the downtown rotary at Michigan and Washington. They are offering 100k! to the artist, they pick as the winner of a design competition. The artist must fund their sculpture with that money an…

It is interesting to see that mother nature is forcing the state to make road repairs! Maybe she can buckle up the whole of 496 it might be the only way they will ever repave what I think is a rather dangerous and poorly maintained freeway.

The LSJ has an article about the downtown to Frandor bike path today. It sounds like it is going to be another great way to bike around Lansing.

I noticed work being done on the Federal/PO Building downtown. I have always thought the yellow stone facade of that building was unique and interestingly different from the sandstone of the Capitol Building. The blocks of stone they have down on th…

I'm taking, Seymour, and Pine, to from Old Town to REOtown for a smooth ride! In Old Town, once you get past N. Washington the streets in every direction are very bad. It is confusing where Grand River meets Grand River and also turns into Willow an…

That has been a dumpy little store for at least 40 years, it must have been a filling station at one time. There was once a really great little supermarket at Kalamazoo and Logan/MLK which was very busy all the time. It will be good to have a market…

I could see modern brick pavement on N. Washington. Capitol Ave is a real moonscape as well. I wonder how they chose, I would start with the block the Capitol is on and move out in ever larger squares from there. I like that the plan includes Ceasar…

I meant "worst streets" that are getting worse!:} Also I wonder why they left a few blocks out of the repaving of Pine Street?
-
I noticed that they are going to repave Seymour Street! This is good news as that street is one of the many worse streets in Lansing. I was wondering if the repaving plans had increased above earlier plans do to added funds by the state?

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…
