It sounds like they plan to implement these designs with the CSO work, they say in the post this is in preparation for that. As far as I can tell there's a question as to whether or not they want to create a main cycle path down Washington Sq or …

The Hopcat building was built around 2010 +/- a few years. Marriot was before I remember, mid 80's to early 90's I think. The difference between the Hopcat building and your is that the former is a reinforced concrete structure (or steel???) and the…

The city of Lansing is doing a survey on possible configurations for the South Washington rebuild/streetscape project coming up next year. They have options that I very much like as presented. There's three A/B/(C) questions: -For street type, I'm…

I agree it looks like cheap materials, but if built as-rendered I think the materials would be a notch above Ottawa @ Butler with a design maybe a notch-and-a-half above, just for comparison. Especially if that lap siding is something other than vin…

At the neighborhood meeting we had with LHC they said that they bought the plaza and didn't know what they were going to do with it. I advocated for them to not build more housing in the area and will continue to do so. More LHC projects in my backy…

One last photo update before things get interesting and these projects start going above ground. Here's to 3+ years of having multiple major buildings going up downtown: It looks as if they may be done with foundation drilling for Tower on Grand,…

I'd call it good news. Sure, it's not great but really much worse than a lot of what's been built downtown lately. Next to having the old school saved this is about as good of an outcome as can realistically be hoped for on that corner. I like it a …

...And just like that a lone front-end loader showed up on site today. I guess we'll see what next week brings. @gbinlansing Unfortunately the Reutter Park Fountain will probably not be working this year. I talked to a councilmember (Spadafore, I…

The aerial site is fantastic. Be sure to check out all the other dates available (click the "aerials" tab in the top left), much of the area has imagery back to 1955/56, it changes based on where you're looking. Seeing before the freeways, Capitol C…

I'm starting to get a little nervous about Ovation's future. The equipment that was once on site did very little work before stopping and eventually being taken away. There's been ribbons up on the roof of the existing building they're supposed to …

I see a maintenance building at The Village that looks to be an old hanger, that's the only clear remnant that I see. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KQ5c8e19U5zEBcyL9 A 1981 aerial view (another chance to note that I love the historic aerial viewer): …

This is kind of interesting. Perhaps relevant to some of the handouts to developers? : https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/18/attorney-general-raids-medc-search-warrant/84262180007/

@gbdinlansing I also tried to look. Those farms are huge with multiple internal roads, so maybe a private road or buildings related to that, there's also three self storage facilities in the area. The one at State & Chandler is owned by someone …

I've seen grants and whatnot come through for waterways clean ups, at least a couple rounds of funding through the county trails millage has went to that effort. I was surprised riding the trail this week to see that the Waterways Stewards didn't se…

I'm pretty sure there are grant funds involved. The logjams are just something that has to be dealt with, trees overhang the rivers everywhere and every year some fall into the water then collect at bridges and dams. Keeping things clear is no small…

Nice, I've only been through bits of Sexton and that was years ago. I'll have to keep an eye out for future tours.

They're marketing the brush removal as invasive species removal and better river accessibility, but getting the homeless encampments out of those areas could intentionally be part of it. It seems to help in that regard. @MichMatters The brush rem…

Michigan Waterways Stewards has been doing a lot of the log jam clean up, they just had one of their two main trail & waterway clean-ups on Saturday. They're also the ones behind the new little path to Brody and the brush clearing along the Red …

I was checking the EL planning agendas for the first time in months and there's actually a small item of note: A developer proposes tearing down the office building at 601 Abbot to build a 32 unit condo building that would be three floors over parki…

City Pulse has an article on the Fish Ladder Music Park: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/major-renovations-underway-at-old-towns-burchard-park,141576 One bit of particularly good news from the article is that the renovations shouldn't t…
