@MichMatters I get your point and generally agree but that's a rather unnecessary interjection, especially in this three-page thread on a near complete project.

The issue the city rep gave was that the steep embankment on the north side of Moores River Dr from Moores Park to MLK would cause them to either build a retaining wall to place the trail at street level (which they did recently near to extend it to…
-
TBH I think the reason why they won't connect the trail here is because a few wealthy well-connected residents along that stretch don't want it there. I'm not going to let this issue go, I just don't have the time or the energy to get involved at th…

Every time Lansing Township gets brought up it hurts my brain and brings on a bit of rage, It's pointless trying to critique or make sense of their actions. I emailed a township official when I made the last post and he got back to me simply to say …

@gbinlansing Based on what I see from transit YouTube videos it seems that green painted bike lanes are the new norm, just another a way to make drivers more aware of it being there.

Not to beat a dead horse or offend, but it sounds to me like we need a new administration. I've heard rumblings in the recent past of Bob Trezise possibly running, I'd be mildly optimistic about that.
-
@citykid With all do respect to the city administration it NEEDS to be done if this area is going to be successful, many other municipalities have figured out how to do it there's no reason it can't be done here. In areas where the city wants to dev…

A few items of note in MSU's 5 year capitol outlay request to the State: -The priority for 2024 is another $120m in funding for the $250m new Engineering and Digital Innovation Center -A significant renovation to the MSU Auditorium ($31-$55m) -$1…

The status of New Vision has become a bit of a mystery hasn't it? Is it dead in the water? Are they refining the proposal based on feedback from the city or the public? Did elements within city leadership that wanted to put out a request for prop…
-
Being as how it's a state route I can't imagine the city would have an easy time getting that done. I would personally rather see that money invested into the N East pathway that's set to run along the nearby parallel RR tracks, go behind the Wood S…

There's another showing of the 108 Howard LLC project in the October 18th planning commission agenda, I'm growing more curious as to what this is exactly. The August 16th minutes do offer a few insights though: While it offers no direct details, …

A couple items of note in Eastwood: A new restaurant with a wine tasting room and retail shop will build a 10k sq ft building at Wood & Lake Lansing: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2023/10/12/new-restaurant-winery-coopers…

A Turkish fastener manufacturer wants to build a 365k sq ft factory on Webster Rd just north of I-69, it'd create about 200 jobs. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2023/10/11/turkish-manufacturer-first-factory-in-us-employ-200-…

Those numbers on the parking lots are painful to see. The LSJ had an article on the Hepler development at Saginaw & Penn, not really any notable new info but worth a read: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2023/10/08/harry…

Agreed on both counts regarding the looks of the buildings. I see what looks like a rooftop patio over the old Riverfront Cycle, that could be interesting.
-
@MichMatters It's in there towards the end, there's renderings and floor plans included, it shows the side by the old Riverfront Cycle as leased. The costs are shown at a little over $1m so it should be a fairly extensive renovation for the building.
-
No need to wait for BWL, the city could push for and help pay for it or if enough property owners in the area are interested I'm sure they could vote for an assessment to do it as well. I also think this corridor is likely approaching time for a mak…
-
Even if not a part of this project I expect the city/BWL to work on burying lines along the Cedar/Larch corridor. The city has made it clear that they want more of this sort of development there and looking out at rickety old power poles isn't condu…
-
They did not extend the height of the poles, just extended the top cross beam towards the street to move the higher voltage wires away from the building a bit. I'm no certain but that doesn't look like something that was done to be permanent, if you…

Unfortunately the city does not not control to fate of the South Grand Ramp since they sold it to the developers of the never-built Capitol Club Tower with no contingencies to get the property back should the project go belly up. I have no idea if G…
