I have been hoping to hear that this big project was actually going to happen, it is a relief to hear that it really is going to happen. Seems like our country has a lot of crazy people in charge, so you never know. I like the depiction of the new b…

I am also impressed with the new building; it is a rare case in Lansing of "nicer than it had to be". It's great to see a company showing some civic pride. I have been wanting to try the new restaurant in the train station, I have not heard much ab…

It will not surprise me if the mayor thinks it is a good idea to cap a portion of 496 that that would be a square of grass and some trees with a plaque with a picture of what used to be there. As a person whose family was very much affected by the c…

I don't get down to Detroit often and I did not know that they had covered some of the freeway downtown, or was that the concept drawings, it really looks like grassier version of the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. It may be expensive but not impo…

Perhaps you meant Sec. of Transportation! We have talked about topping 496 for a while now, maybe someone has been listening! My dad's service station at Logan and Main was one of the first properties they took over and destroyed. It was very traum…

GM made sure to put an end to the reasonable and reliable street trolleys and street cars, my dad used talked about taking the Inter-urban out to Lake Lansing [Pine Lake].

Wow these pics take me back. I Remember these views very well. Note there is no greenery anywhere! another East Coast refinance for a pedestrian and vehicle use street is in Provincetown where the main street Commercial Street is a narrow one-way st…

I was looking at google maps for a possible pedestrian way from the Motor Wheel area perhaps to the river trail along May Street or Monroe Street. Maybe a wide sidewalk along Saginaw Street with some sort of protection or separation pillars and a fo…

The top floor of the MSUFCU building downtown is being prepared for occupation which I can see from my patio. I believe with the MSU Museum leasing also renting a floor that the building is fully leased out. Perhaps this is a good sign that business…

thanks for posting the pics, I think the new MSU buildings are attractive contemporary and fit into the campus landscape. I have enjoyed watching their progress.

The new "I-M" going up on Harrison is quite the impressive building, the exterior facades and glass works are going up and it looks like it will be a nice looking very modern and interesting building. It resembles the "1855" building on Kalamazoo in…

I agree of course, it is better just not great. I wonder if when finished the new street will help getting all the vacant spaces and buildings fixed up and rented, between "M" Sparrow and Collins there so many poorly maintained houses and buildings.

I know the project is not finished but the new Michigan Ave improvements are very basic. I love the new paved street but, there are no finishing touches on the sidewalks like brick work or even textured patterns in the cement. Right now, what really…

thanks for your interesting post, I am hopeful that these ideas will come to be, and it is very nice to hear hopeful and positive thoughts about the future. What I am really worried about is what is going to happen to the price of Labatt Blue if tha…

I don't really enjoy thinking about next year right now! but seeing the construction for this project begin in February would really be wonderful and perhaps a sign everything is going to be OK.

Ann Arbor to Traverse City is not a very urban connector route it is true, but there are two large universities, and stops near larger [and poorer towns] along the way. A route up the west side of Michigan from Chicago to Petosky would attract a lot…

I read an artical online LSJ which talked about new passenger train routes in Michigan. I remember this idea was brought up a while back, the route from Detroit to Traverse City seemed to be the one that has some chance of happening soon with other …

The new Chevy dealership building going up on E. Michigan Ave. is a pretty nice-looking building and quite large. I could see a similar building as a new passenger terminal building out at the airport. [like that would ever happen] I would have like…

I think with more people living downtown soon those few blocks will have one of the ingredients for an urban neighborhood village. S. Washington could have vehicle lanes, I know they would not really want to be totally pedestrian "mall". I don't kno…

Yes, I know there are businesses that want the parking in front of their door, I think that the street is wide enough to have vehicle traffic, the alley in East Lansing is still a one-way street and although it is not very attractive it serves as a …
