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 …
-
This looks great, and kind of goes along with the public/private idea of enhancing the public space around the private development to create business for the development. I have said before maybe private businesses could sponsor street and sidewalk …

I noticed the same brick pavement under the crumbling pavement on S. Capitol Ave and on S.Washington and Kalamazoo. It is noisy but brick paving can have fewer pothole problems. It is so enjoyable to hit a "smooth zone" where you can relax a bit a…

I think it would be good for the city to study what went wrong if they want to continue to have a "city market". I think it would provide a story in which the city even in desperate times finds it is important to consider everything from the number …

It looks like there would be enough room to build a protected bike lane, maybe even a small narrow median [with grass and flowers?] all the way to East Lansing. Kalamazoo Street past Hunter Park is really a mess these days, the bike lane is full of …

I am not taking "total" credit for the nighttime illumination plan but it was one of these ideas I submitted to "the penny for your thoughts" campaign that they chose to publish on their page. I never got the $25 dollars, however! This will encoura…

PS I am glad the Quakers will finally have their own fields of dreams. Does Eastern play Sexton anymore? I went to Sexton and we used to be in the same league the 6-A/7-A. I see that Sexton is class-B these days.
-
At the Lansing Center are they talking about the area with the gazzebo-like thing over to the area in front of the City Market. That will be nice, as that area is not really used by people other than to pass through. There is also a green space betw…

I drove by the Eastern High site yesterday, and I saw that they had cut down all the trees [of course they always do] and there was the trunk of one laying on its side that must have been 8 to 10 foot across! It would have to be over 100 years old t…
