A couple of things worth sharing... First, there's an LSJ story on BWL's impending construction of a RICE plant out on their Erikson property along with a few updates on their other plans and quotes from neighbors complaining: https://www.lansin…

A few quick pictures from last weekend... Neogen building: The new MSU Multicultural Center: New IM building: Farm Ln ridge: A few pics along the soon to be paved phase II of the MSU-Lake Lansing Trail, heading from the …

I hadn't heard about moving any sculpture, you're talking the one in Adado? I'm also not a huge fan, at least initially, of moving a sculpture from its place next to the River Trail in a prime downtown park to a median. I too have been impresse…

With work on Moores Park Pool underway they're saying that it should open some time in the 2025 season: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2024/04/25/lansing-moores-park-pool-renovation-reopening/73423572007/

I'd think a four lane boulevard with a wider median than what the city was proposing should reasonably satisfy most parties, I'd be all for it. I generally like boulevards when there's space and a need for them.

@MichMatters To clarify, my point was that it's unproductive to directly address someone with language like "you're the one on the outside" followed by a silly emoji and call your opposition's statements "stupid and/or ignorant" followed by a cheeky…

@Lymon89 I don't disagree that community engagement should have happened earlier on, I'm sure part of the issue is most in the community being blindsided. I follow things closely and this caught me by surprise. That's been a consistent feature with …

I've been critical of Schor for awhile, I wish I could say that I'm happy that others are seeing the same thing I have but I'd rather just have a competent and visionary leader. This MLK fiasco isn't even close to my least favorite thing he's …

@gbdinlansing I believe it's just there to improve traffic flow over the Red Cedar River while the Farm Lane bridge is out.
-
@mindbender That's the kind of logic I've almost come to expect out of people these days. I truly hope there's not a large contingent of people that think like that, this city's (and world's) future won't be very bright if so. I'm mildly in fav…

Great news that there's an extra tool now available to help get 927 Washington renovated, I really like that building and would love to see it get a proper restoration someday. As for the land behind it, I'd imagine the traditional solution of using…

I'm also a fan of the Hudson Tower's design, it's SHoP Architects, they've done a lot of nice high rises. The Tower on Grand kind of has their aesthetic imo. Lots of stuff happening in Detroit in general, I loosely keep up on things going on do…

I wouldn't compare Marketplace or Outfield to REO Gateway. The former are mediocre while REO Gateway is garbage imo. The added density is the only upside, which doesn't count for much since just about anything else built there would have also added …

Lots of news within these last few posts. Thanks to @citykid for the insights That the 1506 N Grand River development is still in the table, even if downsized, is very positive. That development would be huge for the area as originally envision…

I really do hope that Granger actually makes his plans happen, hopefully without another 30 years going by, but as Michmatters said: everyone has plans. Their stewardship of this property has been embarrassing and the public back and forth with the …

The Granger debacle is an absolute joke. Their proposal for city hall is unexciting, but not offensive itself. The fact that they'd ask for an exclusive agreement to develop the old city hall and the Lansing Center (!?) is dumbfounding. Why is the L…

Mclaren is going to build a $40 million facility near Grand Ledge at Saginaw & Nixon that will include an emergency room. It will be about a 34k sq ft building on 4 acres, construction will begin this summer. https://www.lansingstatejournal.c…

I'm very much hoping to see that property redeveloped, I'd be happy to see something similar to what was originally proposed. City Council denied the sale of the Grand & Lenawee lot to Boji. One thing I was not aware of was that these apartme…
-
Ah, I think I remember city kid mentioning that in a thread, right? A 4-5 floor five-over-one would seem the most predictable option but I was figuring that if CATA was going to end up on anything more than the first floor that could change things, …

I don't know what to make of that project near Turner Dodge. Someone obviously put a fair bit of work into coming up with a fairly detailed proposal unique to the site and took the time to go through rezoning. The Land Bank owning the property kinda…
