Regardless of whether the state owns the lines, it'll cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build out and probably require significant subsidies in perpetuity. Not where I want to see resources going, just personally. As for a larger network, to m…

I love the idea of more passenger rail but hate the Detroit/Ann Arbor/Traverse City proposal. It's a joke that the passenger rail line getting the most support is between the richest areas of the state and their playground up north, all while managi…

Now it's a game of wait and see, As far as I can tell all signs at this point seem positive.

Count me amongst those who doubt the potential success of pedestrianizing S Washington. The lack of density in today's downtown wouldn't give me a lot faith in any pedestrian mall working, S Washington in particular is so wide that I just don't see …

There's been fencing up around Eastern for a few days, it appears they're about to begin demolition. In other disappointing news Norm Fasteners has pulled out of their project in Bath Twp: https://www.wilx.com/2024/11/26/norm-fasteners-pulls-out…

I haven't been by there in a while, good to hear it's coming along. I really have to get out and take some pictures before winter fully sets in.

I was at a neighborhood meeting with the housing commission, both buildings are being built as we saw in those blue renderings, there's a small chance they may change colors up. They have no plans for the Baryames property besides using it for const…

Eagle Township residents have successfully hobbled this area: https://www.wilx.com/2024/11/14/eagle-township-mega-site-defeated-by-residents-disapproval/ I'd be less angry if it weren't for people having silly/disingenuous stances like "there's n…

I really have to look into the details of how the city has been spending the parks millage money before I support it. I've been quite disappointed in the parks, the best things that have happened have been funded through the county millages, private…

You're ok. To briefly explain my stance: I just don't entirely agree with your viewpoint/assertions but I see no reason to engage on a subject so potentially divisive. I'll happily debate anyone on specific issues/policies if they invite the banter …

Cooley is finally listing their former library building: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2024/10/31/downtown-property-for-sale-cooley-law-school/75961768007/ https://cpix.net/property-search/#/property/611a45495e7ca000082f284b…

I don't hate that building but I don't consider it at all important to save nor do I personally see it being worth trying to incorporate as a podium for a taller building. It's just an extremely basic two floor brick building with no real defining f…

There's now a rendering of the proposed Engineering and Digital Innovation Center: MSU also has requested another $70m from the state for the $340m building. https://statenews.com/article/2024/10/msu-board-approves-leadership-infrastructure-ch…

The document lists the Capitol Tower as 6 floors in some areas but in others states 4 residential floors and 1 office floor. My best guess it that there is a tall first floor that includes some two floor townhouse style units accessed from the outsi…

I was also disappointed that they allowed that boardwalk then removed it with no plan for replacement. I just hope that all this stuff with the trail happens. It seems clear that the new pedestrian bridge will get built but I'm not sure Gentilozzi i…

I thought it was worth pointing out this site plan: The document talks about connecting the west bank River Trail through Wentworth Park, alongside Grandview Plaza and restoring the path that's attached to the S Grand Ramp, that part of the pla…

I'm not surprised at the existence of office space, I'm surprised their putting it at the top of the building and only doing one floor, if it weren't for the top floor office space this could be a stick built building. I'm not complaining at getting…

This is very, very welcome news. The nighttime rendering of Tower on Grand is great, the new building in Old Town and the Ingham Building's renovation into apartments are unexpected and significant positives. I did not expect to see stuff added to t…

That would be incredibly disappointing if true. I did what I can do, email all the relevant officials that I could and contact the only person I know that has any local political connections to ask them to reach out to anyone they know. I think it's…
