It really is a societal issue. Looking at the big picture I often wonder whether we're at the beginning of a structural decline and some of what we're seeing with some of this stuff is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. It really does wreak o…

I saw a large excavator dropped off here in the past couple days, maybe real work is finally beginning? Seeing steel rise here will be a sigh of relief.

Speculative news on CADL leaving their current downtown building to move into.... the ground floor of the N Grand Ramp. The fact that moving our central public library into a functionally obsolete parking ramp is even being considered is dishearteni…

Another week with not much news on the development front. There is a small item in the upcoming council meeting: There's an OPRA proposal for a rehab of the building at the SW corner of Baker & Cedar, I'm not sure if this is the same people who …

I did not know that. I can't complain about investing in infrastructure around there, having a sidewalk out to Grand River is a no-brainer regardless of whether bus service goes right to the terminal. That being said, I'd imagine that they will cont…

"Whatever" is appropriate I think. The corner was going to be developed somehow, and when I frequented that area more I would have appreciated an alternative to Speedway.

You'll get no arguments from me against the Chinese tariffs as China has been fighting a soft/grey war against the US for decades, how directly related this move is to that is tough to say but it's hard to argue it's unrelated. I'm hoping Tesla eyes…

Big news: Tesla signed a deal with LG to switch their Lansing plant to a new battery tech which will supply Tesla through at least 2030, the deal is worth $4.3 billion and they expect production to start in just over a year. Sad for GM that it turne…

They showed their first proposal in a zoning board meeting back in November or December, I posted about it here a month or so afterwards, it was horrible. The back of the building faced Michigan and the drive-thru line ran right along Michigan Ave's…

Lansing Township's site is absolutely horrible, they do not want public input on this stuff. The fact that the empty Rite Aid was remodeled so quick and this old gas station property is getting a multi floor building is a great sign for the continue…

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?
-
Yeah, lots in there. Tons of fluff to help grant applications (and justify those consulting fees). I just thumb to the maps that include the proposed trails and the tables that lay out priorities and timelines. I'll have to dig into it in the coming…

I feel the same way. IDK what to do about property taxes. The existence of the $180m police and fire millage while our parks are in disrepair, streets are poorly maintained, and the city refuses to spend any more than the free state money on city ha…

Yeah, it is disappointing. I would certainly be interested in hearing any insights as to what's in store.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something these new facilities are going to be at Sparrow's main campus, the mental/behavioral health operations will move from St Lawrence to here. What's not clear is where on their property this will be or if the facil…

I'm not aware of anything going on with Logan Square, seems like I heard something in recent years but it escapes me, maybe some issues between the city and the property owner? I often forget the place even exists, despite growing up nearby we rarel…

Here's a new City Pulse story on the LHC Washington Ave apartments: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/lansing-housing-commission-rehabbing-927-washington,181284 And here's a story on the new public media center in the little building next …

I always look at it as we're such a small forum with only a handful of active members I don't mind when things veer off-topic like this. If things get a little busier it's probably worth policing more, but for now I'd say self-policing should be fin…

Sparrow is set to move forward with their surgical center and a smaller than originally announced mental health facility, details are sparse: https://www.wlns.com/news/michigan/u-m-to-vote-on-new-behavioral-hospital-surgical-center-in-lansing-this-w…

The old dry cleaners property was bought by LHC, at the time of their meeting with my neighborhood organization last year they had no plans for the property yet.
