This is a great plan! I am confused about whether it is just a plan or are they going to start building this soon? I am hoping that this plan along with the upstream improvements to the river banks is not going to be entirely dependent upon private …

I think there may have been plans for all of the surface lots downtown but it seems like the state is no longer interested in building on those areas and the private lots must be more valuable as parking lots. The corner of Michigan and Grand comes …

Looks like we won the parking crater award! It is difficult to understand why we knocked down the whole west side of our city for surface parking lots from here, it must look really crazy from outside of Lansing.

what does EDIT mean? There is new demolition work going on at the old Y building, maybe this project is really getting underway!

In Boston [sorry it's the only other place I know well] they have the Hay Market which is outdoor setup and taken down each market day. There they sell produce only, it is not a farmer's market, the sellers offer good prices on "B" produce which gen…

I read that the cheese vendor in the City Market is leaving. The LJS story said that Lansing has rejected the urban farmer's market concept. I would say that Lansing has rejected The City Market. The city built a cheap looking building with all the …

This will be a great for bike commuters, a more direct route than the scenic river trail. I think you could go from Frandor to Downtown in around 20 minutes on what looks to be this very flat easy to ride route.

That is great news about the parks and trails. I have to hope that the recent tree cuts near GM and the new substation are part of this because they sure left an ugly mess of fallen trees over there. I think they could naturalize the river banks b…

I am hoping that the Red Cedar development will be the end of it's better than nothing way of thinking here, and will mean that others will have to step up their game. It seems like they are renting the new wing of the Market Place at a good pace,…

It seems unlikely, but maybe there could be a Greater Lansing Authority with all the big and little municipalities represented. The Authority would oversee regional resources, parks, and trails, transit, airports, roads and take up planning for deve…

There are a lot of negative comments on the facebook page about the developer. I do wish a lot of different companies were putting up new buildings in Lansing, but this is the company that we have and is the one who is actually building. I hope he w…

I think they might have waited for a sunny day to shot that story, I was thinking the same thing.

There is a new video featuring the new Market Place Apartments on lsj.com. It says that is is going to be a restaurant open to everyone there. Maybe it will have a river view.

It is really great that they are repaving Walnut and Pine streets. I wish they would just go up and down every street downtown with that milling machine. Capitol Ave is really bad from one end to the other. This may sound unlikely but I wonder if…

There are a lot of what if's. I think that the college could have grown out of the Sparrow Nurses School and created a "college town" along East Michigan and back into the Eastern High/Boys Reform school area. The farms for the college might have be…

It is great to see a project actually getting underway.

I am hoping that the next project Gillespie builds will be better and of more quality than the Marketplace. I think color can be good without looking kind of cheap. I have not seen the 3rd phase drawings in the window lately, but they depicted the s…

I wonder what projects the Mayor is talking about? The changing skyline is very interesting.

I found a book in the library about the history of Lansing, titled "Lansing, Capital, Campus, and Cars". I found the story it presents, of our history very interesting and well written. I found it especially interesting that there was nothing really…

I am not a big fan of the colorful siding, but I think visitors will remember these buildings and think of Lansing as a colorful place. I have not really traveled around much since I moved back to Lansing, so I don't know are they building this type…
