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…

I'm not exactly confident but I'd like to remain optimistic on this, I continue to wonder if the negative publicity got to Gary Granger himself or perhaps the Granger family at large. It has to be annoying to publicized negatively like that, singled…

You wouldn't of thought they could've done worse than that non-descript 4-floor building, huh? Where there is a will, there's a way.

According to LSJ the plans are to build that 5 floor red brick building first, it's supposed to be complete within two years, before Tower on Grand is done. Granger says the parking lot to the north will host a high rise that could be 15 floors or m…

It's nice to see the site plan but slightly disappointing that the building won't be in an L-shape to take up more frontage along Dodge River Dr. All-in-all I still can't complain. While I'd love to see such a house moved to an empty lot if at al…

I haven't seen it yet but I wouldn't be all that surprised if they put video boards facing out from the stadium.

I feel like trusting the traffic engineers would be largely be my take on this, at least within the realm of realistic outcomes. A diverging diamond might work well on Saginaw at the freeway. EDIT: The project to add pedestrian islands along sou…

I grabbed pics of a lot of the construction going on around downtown and out at MSU... Grand Vista Place : The first elevator shaft is topped out City Hall: The old parking lot has been tore up and footings are being drilled & poured …

I'm happy to hear about the prospect of a southeast side community center, you've got me thinking about where it could go. There's an old elementary school owned by the city at Maplehill & Southgate that last housed a Headstart and I'm not sure …

It's great to see an abandoned building be renovated and occupied, but I do agree that it'd be a lot better if the whole site were reworked. It sucks that the mechanic shop on the corner doesn't appear to be a part of this plan, that will continue t…

That sounds great on the surface, count me as also very interested in where this money goes. I'd generally assume major and minor arterials are "major streets" (Cedar/MLK/Waverly/Jolly/Saginaw being major arterials and Miller/Holmes/Washington being…

Saginaw is such a mess over there. I'm still not a fan of a 7 or 8 lane road but the J-turn option with medians seems like a nice enough idea.

Gentilozzi shared a video with more renderings of the tower and a cool virtual construction time-lapse for the last two minutes.

I snapped a picture of the beginnings of work on the fish ladder amphitheater early last week (below). I'll be around getting pictures of all the major goings-ons again at some point this week: both the LHC apartments have nearly completed elevator …

To be fair, I think someone could renovate 308 Cesar Chavez and break even, it'd have been done if values in this area were a little higher. I certainly don't mind it being razed to make room for a development that someday includes the artic corner …

That was a cool little building. In a different universe I could see the original portion still there, sandwiched between two skyscrapers. That being said, I can't say that I'd be arguing too much against its demolition even today if it still existe…

I snapped a few pictures on Sunday, showing the beginnings of a busy year. Tower on Grand: (demo of three floor building done, on Monday the area behind the Atrium Building was cordoned off and the old Hacks Key shop razed) Riverview 220…
