The private vs. public land issue is an interesting point. The fact that they are building the SkyVue building on private land makes me think that someone will be willing to pay the price to develop the former car lot. I think it is great that they …

This looks very nice, and so much better than past concept drawings. The nice parks and flowing streams and ponds are going to make this really unique,that and a clean Red Cedar are really benefits to the community you don't often find in big develo…

That amount of time saved in such a short distance is interesting, and I am sure it will feel even faster. With another bus coming by the station every eight to ten minutes will it seem like a very reliable system and I think it will get people out …

I do like this plan, and I hope they will not let these few business owners decide for the whole community. The difference between saving time and offering an easier to use transit is about even here. It will be a lot easier to use the BRT but since…

This is just an observation from my first trip down M-99 to Eaton Rapids. First the road itself is really bad, and the sprawl down that corridor is not really of the quality you see north and east and west. Eaton Rapids looked kind of left behind wi…

Yes it sure would be great to have that surface lot built on. I was looking at googlemaps, and it is kind of sad to see how much of the land there is still black top. The lot right in the middle of the whole complex behind the Hannah building is rea…

All that being said, I agree with you about to benefit to the area of S Washington. Maybe they will make something decent there. I like the location of City Hall in a way facing, or confronting the more powerful State Capitol building.

I also thought why all the secrecy? Other projects have been announced before they even have funding. A new huge factory with lots of jobs would have been good, but it seems like that is not going to happen this time. Here is another of my far fetc…

That is interesting, maybe they could have a one lane stop signal. I guess what this will be in a bus in traffic on that portion of the route.

I have noticed a business seems to have opened in the building facing S. Washington. It looks like an vehicle service/storage business or used sales. They have huge "Lansing Party Buses" parked there. There is also a new "I think" used car sales lot…

Yes although maybe I used the wrong term. Here on S. Washington in REOtown anyway the bus can pull out of the traffic lane to pick up passengers in the lane also used for parking. I know there is no parking lane there to use for a bus stop, I was th…

This move seems to be kind of another cheap out. Just a thought, but way not move City Hall to the YMCA building? It is already stripped down, and is I think much larger than the Lake Trust building. I was looking at the Y the other day and it is a…

Now that I look closer I found the Granger Generator on West Grand River by Wacousta Road. That was the place.
-
It looks like it is just a short section of the whole route, it's kind of a mess there so I hope it does improve the traffic flow. I can't tell from the plans, do they plan turn out's for the station or stops maybe that would take the bus out of tra…

I like this one. It looks finished. It is also very cool that they decided to save the white oak tree. You can see the tree on googlemaps.
-
You are right that would be a great view of the whole city from a park up there. I think you could even see the planes landing at the airport. What did the Grangers do with the land fill west of Lansing, by Portland I think? I remember it was hug…

This plan looks great. When are they going to get it started? It seems like a tight fit east of MSU. Am I right in reading that the BRT will travel in the same lanes past Bogue as the traffic out to the mall? While it is understandable in terms of…

I have found the topography of the Lansing area interesting, from the air it looks so flat, like a huge forest with just the downtown buildings showing above the tree line. On the ground there are many small hills and valleys, and as you say eskers …

It is going to be big what ever it is. I was up that way and noticed big machinery on top of the hills just north of Eastwood. Is that a land fill,or a gravel pit? Is that what people see out their windows in the hotel and apartments? I guess I wo…

So great a real skyscraper!
