I'll have to get by there and check out the QD property, that has been of interest to me since I did my own concept rework of the site awhile back. That sound wall for for Cherry Hill has been nice for me, they really do make a difference. There …

It's very disappointing that the quite silly "safety and security" argument was given so much credence at the public safety complex, I fail to see how public parking lots in the front even help with that, something similar to what the state police d…

The Rescue Mission expansion isn't anything to get excited about but at least they're not expanding further on Michigan Ave, and I have at least some faith in the Mission to run things right. The buildings they're moving into appear fairly large, I …

I can't do anything more than agree. I guess it's time to wait and see if they even attempt to seek public input.

I see no reason to have parking out front. Why? I get the houses across Washington wouldn't want street fronted buildings but why not do a 40'-100' set back with greenspace and plazas between the building and the street? It just seems incredibly …

I guess I don't hate his proposal for the building. I'm just not going to be very accepting of a proposal to move City Hall to an existing building or some run-of-the-mill new structure (I've heard the old LSJ building and the Victor Building mentio…

I haven't seen any details on the aesthetic bits of the project but I'm a big fan of the slightly wider sidewalks, proper separated bike lanes and the curb bump outs at crosswalks, I'm slightly confused by the asymmetric lane configuration but I don…

Seems like a positive thing. The article states that the ordinance requires 10' between buildings and 20' from the rear property line so it sounds like it allows for close spacing.

@MichMatters The MSU to Lake Lansing trail will go from where the MSU river trail ends at Hagadorn out to Green Rd at Lake Lansing Park North Map: https://www.meridian.mi.us/home/showpublisheddocument/26498/638198477623970000 More info: https://w…

A few updates from around town... With a few construction new projects getting going there should be more to show over the next few months. Rotary Clubs new accessible playground & pier at Adado: Stadium North's Cedar St building is to…

All I can say is that I'll be up in arms if they move the city hall to that south Washington complex or any existing building. If they build a high quality building that's designed by a reputable architect, I'll probably shut up. I may not be happy,…

That's nice to hear. I either hadn't noticed or forgot there was no sidewalk access for the airport, I imagine this will just be a standard sidewalk along Capitol City Blvd. In my hypothetical trail plan I envision a shared use path travelling next …

Well, I'm completely 100% against that, it's the kind of idiotic decision I'd expect of this administration though. I'm biting my tongue until we hear more.

Yeah, I guess this thread is more appropriate: MichMatters - Might discuss this more in the general thread, but I think the $400 million is for the new public safety center they will be building down on Washington.. The $40 million for the "Lansi…

I have no idea, LSJ is reporting $300k to the MSU to Lake Lansing Trail for "improvements to the existing trail". The "existing trail" is only now being constructed so I'm not sure what improvements may be made that weren't already in the project's …
-
I'm not sure the southern few blocks of downtown is distinct enough of an area to justify it's own name but if "theater district" were to stick then I'd have no complaints. The new rendering is a lot better than where they started. I'm still not …

Looking at the parcel map the easiest place to see the ROW's width is where it goes by Prudden Place, it seems the ROW extends from the edge of the carports to the existing RR tracks, maybe 40' wide. It looks like it gets narrower at Oakland where …
-
I forgot about that being a thing. I don't know the answer to your question but now I'm curious about the specific routing, how they'll separate the trail from the tracks and if it will be over the rail bridge at Saginaw. Keep us updated if you find…

Yeah, the recent Munn, Breslin and football building additions were all financed with donations. Breslin is the newest ground up sports facility and it's very much a multi-use venue, I don't know if any part of its financing was from donations.

Looks like the Moores Park Pool could get a restoration courtesy of the state if the current budget proposal holds: https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigan-democrats-push-800m-pet-projects-help-unions-their-districts
