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.

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…

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 …

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.
