@P2005 Good to know about the open houses, I'll have to try to make it depending on the time. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.
-
@p2005 Thanks for the info, it's very reassuring to hear that they are planning for something noteworthy at that site. I hope they do something there sooner than later, seeing that parking lot is always a little depressing. If you ever hear anything…

@P2005 There's a map on page 8 labeled "Development Framework Concept". The solid dark burgundy color represents projects approved by the board of trustees, the map shows all the buildings that I'm aware of being approved in that color: the multicul…

@mindbender I don't think it'd be a parking garage as the potential parking sites are labeled by greyed out "P" icons, unless they just didn't label it as such because it's already approved as opposed to "potential". I'd agree that would be a horri…

MSU is in the process of creating an updated campus master plan, in one of the documents discussing the process there's a map showing short term and long term building opportunities along with outlines of already approved buildings. All the known pr…

Paving in 2009? Where? Maybe they did a quick and dirty coat of pavement over the badly dilapidated part of Washington south of Lenawee but it's not in great shape now and more importantly the look of the street is surely hurting development prospec…

It's getting pretty close to the time they were expecting to start work on this and we still haven't seen a final design. I'm really, really hoping they came up with something different that is at least halfway decent. I also hope they're planning o…

The city's trails master plan is on page 71 of the 2020-2025 parks master plan: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/cf7054b9-2edc-499c-b724-6d4bd48b4d4d?cache=1800 The trail extension along the CSX tracks is an exciting one, it will end up c…

@MichMatters As far as I can tell all the units in that site plan are on either Landbank or developer owned land, the site plan just doesn't show them using all the available land. @gbdinlansing You're talking about the small building on the Lake…
-
The yellow appear to be landbank and the green look like they're owned by different entities, I assume related to the redevelopment effort. What I'm not sure about are the orange properties, they appear to be owned by the same entities that own the …

I'm also pretty surprised at the scale of the proposed Hepler development. The site plan is hard to read but I'm seeing it as tearing down all the houses on Quaker Ct, filling up the vacant lots on Park Terrace while maybe taking out a few more hous…

A group is attempting to raise $5 million to build a museum for the Bath School Disaster by its 100th anniversary: May 18, 2027. They are looking to build it on or near the site of the disaster which is now a park that houses the cuppola from the ol…

Found this page with a little bit of info on the merger: https://www.uofmhealth.org/sparrow How independent Sparrow will remain isn't clear but they do say the the Sparrow Foundation will remain separate, that the Sparrow name will not be going …

Whoever they were working with one this site has chosen another location: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2023/02/16/lansing-area-megasite-buyer-went-elsewhere-local-official-says/69909994007/

This is incredibly welcome news: Apparently the city has settled on a plan to revamp Michigan Ave, they'd add separated bicycle lanes and reduce eastbound traffic to one lane. Work is expected to cost $11.4 million and begin in 2024. One minor thing…
-
Nope, not temporary as far as I can tell. I think it just kinda worked out that they don't have a dedicated pedestrian bridge in this stretch and need to keep access across the river during construction.
-
I imagine this pedestrian bridge is in addition to the other ones, they don't mention it being a replacement anywhere that I see and it's a bit of a hike to the next bridge. I don't think students on foot in the winter would have been happy to have …
-
Yeah, it's not really a site worthy of being protected green space or anything like that and it's quite a nice design. The MSU IPF page has a site plan showing the building will be oriented to Shaw: https://ipf.msu.edu/construction/current-projec…

Looks like MSU has finalized the design for their new Multicultural Center to be located at the NE corner of Farm & Shaw. It'll be 34k sq ft and cost $38 million, groundbreaking will be this spring with completion in fall of 2024: https://www…

Similar square footage absolutely could be built on a much smaller (although still large) site, it's not crazy, it's just not what these corporations are looking for and the competition for their investments is too fierce to try to dictate too many …
