They removed the stairs on the north side of Michigan also? That would be a little surprising as they seemed to be well built. The riverfront in this area will inevitably see redevelopment so I don't expect them to do some full scale rebuilding o…

I haven't been on the River Trail by there in quite a while, I'm guessing this was done fairly recently? I'm glad to see them doing something with the dilapidated sections at least. Allowing unusable sections of the trail remain there abandoned w…

That location at Cedar and Mt Hope could be really good for someone. I wonder what the timeline is on the Walter French redevelopment, that could make the corner much more valuable.

Regarding Clinton County/Dewitt, I've never had anything other than poor experiences with the people and police up that way. I used to have a friend that lived in Dewitt Township and I dreaded going up there. I don't like to generalize, but my disli…

It certainly couldn't be very large, the entire market is only 11,000 square feet.
-
Yeah, it's a homeless shelter. I think it's the largest one in the City.

This is good, the west side was getting pretty embarrassing hotel-wise.
-
It sounds like they're taking the right steps and that's very good to hear.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the hill in Oak Park, the same one they shoot the City's fireworks display off of. I haven't ventured into Oak Park before, but now I kinda want to. I've always thought the best view of downtown was from 496 above …

Hopefully they're selecting the homes they demolish wisely, avoiding the ones worth saving whenever possible. In many of those targeted areas there's certainly some houses that were trash to begin with, often they're the houses built decades after t…

What was proposed at the Leaseway site initially? I also wasn't aware that Ottawa/Butler was under construction, I'll have to make a point to drive by there sometime.

I noticed the fencing a couple weeks ago driving by, I was wondering how long it'd been there. I hope to see this project move forward, it would add quite a few people downtown. I didn't notice that they were working on gutting the building, but it'…

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the figure has increased, I think the original estimate was $150 million and it's climbed since.
-
That's quite a list. I noticed that the total value of the Red Cedar development has risen to $375 million according to this, I wonder if that's accurate? The last number they put out was $275 million wasn't it?
-
Yeah, I think that would work well enough. We should probably get rid of or somehow archive the project pages though. What prompted me to say something was noticing some errors in my writing on them, it doesn't really look good as an "official" p…

Yeah, even in my lifetime the river has gotten much cleaner, largely due to CSO work. I've heard many people say how bad the paint smell from Fisher Body was, I'm glad the new factories don't seem to emit any smells at all. Not that these ranking…

I'd be happy to do the same thing I did for the Outfield in other threads, but I don't know how to go about it. I don't want to just go around hijacking peoples first posts, I'm assuming you can't insert a post at the top of a thread right?

Frandor and the old strip malls are rough in spots, maybe most even most spots. I expect the smaller properties will start to be redeveloped here and there, it's hard to say how many will go to being multi floor or mixed use though. I suspect that t…

I imagine living in that area was noisy at times with at least three drop forges operating so close to each other. Now only the one on Dunlap is still drop forge, and it hardly seemed to be running when I was regularly in that area from about 2-4 ye…

And I've realized I've only started one of the recent project threads, The Outfield. I redid that initial post to make it more of a landing page for the project. I may attempt to do the same with the Sparrow page that I started.
