I'm not against moving City Hall but I'd much rather see the building preserved rather than reclad or tore down. Just like with the Farnum Building, the architecture of City Hall has grown on me. It's also a good point that there's just too much vac…

It's great to see this actually happening, that neighborhood is in desperate need of something positive. I hope that someone can manage to build some retail on the remaining property.

More good news for MSU, though I do hope they go with a fundamentally different design for the expansion. While on MSU: -Site work on the Interdisciplinary Sciences building has been underway for a couple months and it looks like foundation work…

I agree that the Prudden area could be a nice node to build from and eventually join downtown and Old Town along Larch/Cedar. With Hepler's new project and another Gillespie development at some point the area is almost certain to grow at least some.…

I would not like to see them totally reconstruct the tower. This is a good example of this architecture (International?), I've noticed interior details and the general quality in the entrances and lobby while walking by that shows the care given to …

Thanks for the heads up on the new renderings, I cropped a few out and posted them below:

I kinda hope they install a signal, I've thought from the time I first saw this proposal that there should be a traffic light there. With the hospital, professional building and now the cancer center dumping a good chunk of their traffic out of one …

I missed the whole discussion on parks but suffice to say that I agree with the premise that parks are very important to the city and that they have been neglected. I also tend to agree that there's really no excuse for the lack of basic maintenance…

I haven't been to the zen garden on MSU's campus but I have been to the one at LCC and it is a very nice sanctuary in downtown, I would imagine that a larger one could be truly impressive. I would love to see more things around like these zen garden…

I sort of agree with you on your point about a downtown art museum, of the public works projects I mention it would be my lowest priority one. I still would eventually like to see a downtown art museum of some sort though, perhaps managed by the Bro…

I don't know if the museums should have their own authority, be lumped in with LEPFA or stay independent, but something has to happen to improve them. I'd love to see a new Impression 5 /science & technology museum just about anywhere downtown b…

@Ponceybaby First of all welcome to the forum, I share your frustrations and agree with you on your premise that our local politicians and business leaders have long suffered from a lack of vision, perhaps with the exception of Mayor Hollister, who…

I haven't seen any mention of what it may be used for, but I also don't know where that sort of information might be available.

I missed these posts... @MichMatters I think he's referring to the main computer rooms moving to the new data center. I've heard no plans of tearing the computer center down and it's not one of the buildings listed for demolition in the master pl…

Greater Lansing Business Monthly has an article on this project along with a rendering showing it in relation to Park District: Center City District development- Ushering in a new era for East Lansing

I'm still pretty surprised that they want to demo Giltner Hall, even if it is currently in poor condition. Given the setting of north campus I'd imagine they'd want to save all the older buildings that they can. It's the only building on that list t…

I don't want to be a downer here, but I'd rather not see houses like that built in Lansing neighborhoods. I agree, the inside looks nice and I don't mind simple housing, but this has a post foundation and plywood for siding. It looks like a hunting …

They mention the demolition of ramp 2 as a near term goal, it also says that they plan on restoring the Red Cedar's floodplain at the site while on the future use map it shows a "special feature" there, described as a "possible amphitheater/stage". …

The complete 2017 MSU Master Plan Update is now available: 2017 MSU Master Plan Update - pdf. There's a lot of vague info on possible future buildings, additions and renovations; but what I find most interesting are some of the major potential de…

No, not totally empty, but the largest chunk of the space in the middle has never been occupied. The state was close to leasing all the available space in that building within the past few years and apparently the deal fell through essentially becau…
