The floating boardwalk is a really nice addition to Hawk Island, I bike through there as part of my regular route (in better weather) and had frequently detoured along there since it was opened. I've really got to make an effort to get to that tubin…

Yeah, I can't deny the fact that if Hepler is jumping through these bureaucratic hoops then there is at least some reason for optimism. Good to hear about all the planning goings-on's, at least there's efforts being made to move things in a posit…

I'm 100% against those changes to the ADU ordinance. Does this restrict the property to being owner-occupied in perpetuity? If an investor buys a property with a pre-existing adu do they have to leave it vacant? It's a dumb change that will not help…

A second housing development in Old Town is really welcome news. I'm shocked its taken so long to see more new construction in Old Town. Regarding the fish ladder, it's becoming a "music park" thanks to Capitol Region Community Foundation. I thou…

The "ground breaking" for environmental remediation is definitely amusing, but perhaps is also indicative of the significance of the clean up. I just hope it spurs something positive with the property. There was some concern on the council about …

A City Pulse article on 2025 developments: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/2025-development-is-the-main-course-with-plenty-of-sides,120883 Not much new information but it does mention that Hepler's Prudden Wheel project is under way and …

I was out there taking pictures that day, just didn't get them uploaded to Flickr until now... Multicultural Center is more or less complete: A big hole in the ground for the new Plant and Environmental Science Building: The…

Yeah, the Michigan Ave project leaves a lot to be desired. It's my understanding that all the bids came back over budget so they made some designs changes, including the poor decision to put the 'bike lane' on the sidewalk. It's better than it was b…

Regardless of whether the state owns the lines, it'll cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build out and probably require significant subsidies in perpetuity. Not where I want to see resources going, just personally. As for a larger network, to m…

I love the idea of more passenger rail but hate the Detroit/Ann Arbor/Traverse City proposal. It's a joke that the passenger rail line getting the most support is between the richest areas of the state and their playground up north, all while managi…

Now it's a game of wait and see, As far as I can tell all signs at this point seem positive.

Count me amongst those who doubt the potential success of pedestrianizing S Washington. The lack of density in today's downtown wouldn't give me a lot faith in any pedestrian mall working, S Washington in particular is so wide that I just don't see …

There's been fencing up around Eastern for a few days, it appears they're about to begin demolition. In other disappointing news Norm Fasteners has pulled out of their project in Bath Twp: https://www.wilx.com/2024/11/26/norm-fasteners-pulls-out…

I haven't been by there in a while, good to hear it's coming along. I really have to get out and take some pictures before winter fully sets in.

I was at a neighborhood meeting with the housing commission, both buildings are being built as we saw in those blue renderings, there's a small chance they may change colors up. They have no plans for the Baryames property besides using it for const…

Eagle Township residents have successfully hobbled this area: https://www.wilx.com/2024/11/14/eagle-township-mega-site-defeated-by-residents-disapproval/ I'd be less angry if it weren't for people having silly/disingenuous stances like "there's n…

I really have to look into the details of how the city has been spending the parks millage money before I support it. I've been quite disappointed in the parks, the best things that have happened have been funded through the county millages, private…

You're ok. To briefly explain my stance: I just don't entirely agree with your viewpoint/assertions but I see no reason to engage on a subject so potentially divisive. I'll happily debate anyone on specific issues/policies if they invite the banter …

Cooley is finally listing their former library building: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2024/10/31/downtown-property-for-sale-cooley-law-school/75961768007/ https://cpix.net/property-search/#/property/611a45495e7ca000082f284b…

I don't hate that building but I don't consider it at all important to save nor do I personally see it being worth trying to incorporate as a podium for a taller building. It's just an extremely basic two floor brick building with no real defining f…
