It seems to me that projects with the least government involvement charge right ahead, while the projects looking for lots of funds etc. take forever to get going. I was impressed by the huge construction crane at the site up the street. I have nev…

It's true that 496 was a big mistake, dividing the city and destroying something like 900 buildings. Lansing was proud of its new modern expressway back then so I guess they built the bridges so you could see it. My idea about a greenway would be …

Oh, thanks, I see that now and I agree they have the best plan for the old City Hall. The gap between downtown and REOtown is real, but I think there are a few ways it could be closed. One would be to build in the airspace over 496, but with all t…

I am wondering if the Mayor wants these proposed plans resubmitted or wants newly revised plans. I like parts of each plan and really do not like others. I had not seen the St. Joesph Street drawings before. I like the location and the interesting d…

5 year Trimming Plan! That thought makes me a little sick. If they did a better job, and not just butcher the poor trees into these un-natural sad shapes, it would be nice. They say they "try" to cut conservatively but that is not what it looks like…

I guess we already talked this idea over, but I really think that if Cedar and Larch were two-way streets it would make all properties on both sides of both streets more attractive and accessible for developers and residents. There are a lot of go…

I have never been up there, I was looking at googlemaps. The June of 2011 must have had really nice weather. There are many streets including Barnard that still have the 2011 googlemaps pictures and they are always so pretty that they make a not so …

That is very interesting information, thank you. It is a large area, I guess we can look forward to that corner looking very colorful soon. Barnard looks to have a couple of 19th-century houses but this is a very isolated street, I'm sure no one wil…

I did not hear Andy's speech, did he have any big development news?
-
Wow, maybe this is the real thing. This will be so nice if they do build it. I still want to see ribbons cut and shovels in the dirt before getting too excited. This project added to the old Y and the new city hall is going to put a lot of people on…

I am guessing these units would line up with the outside windows. For me, it would be rather strange if these units stand alone away from the walls and windows. Other than that I like the idea, it is innovative, I think young people and singles will…

Be sure and use the LSJ.com e-mail link to write the authorities in Washington supporting keeping our A.A. flight's time slot at National [reagan] Airport. It seems they use community support as one of the criteria for deciding what flights get a ti…

It is not going to become my reason for being, but I wrote the city via seeclickfix.com pointing out the spelling error on the new signs. They wrote this back, "The thought process in this was that the area/complex referred to, though it includes th…

Maybe Gillespie could build a building in the parking lot of Sears. There is a lot of room behind the Skyvue and on the east side of the Sears building. With the new improvements coming from the Montgomery [sp?] drain project and Frandor, I could se…

What was the Gillespie announcement, I have not found anything about it? I think they could control the water level to keep a more natural flow and keep the water colder and cleaner. Give it good flush especially in the summer.
-
I keep thinking the low level is for river trail repairs, but I do not see anything like that going on around REOtown. There are flood warnings for the Looking Glass River so it's not the weather. It really does look bad when there is no snow. I thi…

I think a downtown locally owned bookstore would be really great. I was downtown for the Women's March on Sunday and every place that was open was packed with people. It really felt like the old times when downtown was the major shopping district. I…

Is the ROW the green line/space with no tracks that go along to the north of Eastwood and then down crossing Lake Lansing Rd. by High street? I agree that would a very good space to put a bus lane or way. Even though rail lines are not exactly lined…

Maybe you are right! Going to a store that looks and smells the same as it did in the 70's as my QD on W. Mt Hope does, is comforting but there is room for improvements and upgrades without losing that "charm?".
