I did write them,but received no reply. It would be really great if they put in the park and trail improvements without the sub-station. If the city would build say a cool little glass coffee/tea house overlooking the garden right along MalcolmX, …

They said we get to pick some of the wall treatments. It kind of reminds me of when they build 496 and Logan, it really did not matter what was in the way. I am not going to chain myself to a tree [others might] but they really can't move a garden w…

I just read that the BWL has already made up their minds about the site of the new substation. I am glad to hear that that there are folks who are questioning this plan. The meetings with the neighborhood will be to discuss the exterior wall treatme…

I will not get politics into the discussion again unless the thoughts posted go that way. It's just hard to watch these bad things happen in my Michigan and my Lansing. I have always been proud of being from Lansing Michigan. I would always defended…

If we are going to lay some blame, one could go all the way back the the Reagan era. This was the time when the federal government began the turning away from cities and states. Those years the feds. rang up huge red ink with tax cuts and military s…

This would be great, but when looking at all the nice drawings of what it could look like,I get that sinking feeling that I have when I have looked at Lansing plans in the past. It all looks great but will they ever build it. Everything they have pl…

While it is understandable that the city already owns the park, it seems to me the cost of moving the garden and all the rest could be saved by siting the sub-station on a ready to build site like the Towsend Street GM parking areas. Maybe they coul…

I live right next door in REOtown and this whole thing caught me by surprise,I had not heard anything about this plan. Yesterday the city was there trimming trees and cutting out vines and brush next to the stone wall. It had looked like it had been…

I remember the Spira-Mart plan, I think it was the last grandiose plan ever proposed for downtown, up until the casino maybe. I remember besides the power plant issue there was one property on that block that was holding out for more money during th…

One of my "back to the future" experiences since returning after 30 years has been how East Lansing feels dirty and unpleasant downtown. There is a tool for scraping chewing gum off from pavement. The sidewalks are dirty broken and covered with blac…

That is really exciting to hear, I often pass the building walking on the river trail, it's a mess right now. I think there is a sidewalk on the Beech St. bridge that could be extended down South St. to the site. I see lots of big trucks turning dow…

It could also be that in 30 some years driving around Mass., I have a different prospective on heavy traffic. Out there it was rarely fun or relaxing to drive. Here I have found that relaxed feeling just driving around the city, and minuets out of t…

Thank you for the correct population figures. I was thinking Lansing was up to about 147,000 at the the highest. Still taking 16,000 people off the streets is a lot. The traffic I have found since returning to Lansing just seems to be lighter than …

A bank flew the "Don't tread on Me" flags out front!? Wow! I really have missed some "fun" times around here. A Patriotic symbol taken over by the anti-American know nothing Tea Party flown outside a major building is very controversial, and would i…

I think the whole one way system of streets was done at a time when fifty or sixty thousand more people lived here. Now we see many former four lane streets doing just fine with two and a left turn lane. I could see both Larch and Cedar Street being…

There are two existing building that could fit a fairly large supermarket. The building right next to the rail road tracks across from the BWL plants has been rehabilitated and has a big parking lot. The other down the street in the block between Ha…

Another REOtown neighborhood that is kind of forgotten, but full of big one time grand houses is what they now call "River Point". There are several houses back there that look like they may be among the oldest in Lansing. The area is very industria…

What is the CSO project? I checked out the web-site for the new deli and it looks pretty nice. It looks like they may have table service, which I hope they do so that maybe it will be a step above just another sandwich shop. I do not know what t…

On my walk yesterday we took the "back way" to Moorse Park down S. Washington to Island Ave and down the stairs by the pool. It's a bit scruffy but it is a nice neighborhood with some really big old houses. I was noting how monumental the power plan…

It was a long time ago but think they went over the north bound and under the south bound bridges. There was an enclosed over pass on the north bound side. The used tracks that went to Fisher Body for the transport of the black chassis frames ,paint…
