Mt Hope from Aurelius to 127 is one of the worst major streets in the area, the only other main street I can think of that's as bad is Jolly from MLK to Waverly (I don't go on the north side much so I can't really speak for roads up that way.) Road …

The malling of Washington Ave was probably the worst thing to happen to downtown, followed by the Capitol Complex. It destroyed the main throughfare, destroyed a few of the nicest commercial blocks and cost a lot of money in the process. I'll never …

Yup, I was just by it tonight and it looks complete. As nice as it is to have a mural there, I just wish QD would open up a storefront there.

Regarding the traffic calming measures, I can't stand speed bumps and the chicane style obstacles, like the one on Mary Ave, are even worse. I'd agree that stop signs and traffic circles are far better and probably safer. I think the City had a traf…

I've always wondered about that piece of land too. I'd bet that someone bought it and either their planned development fell through or they anticipated development in the area to pick more than it did. All of Aurelius feels rather separated from Lan…

I can't seem to get the new imagery to show up on the desktop Google Maps, but the imagery on mobile Maps is at most a month or two old. It shows Marketplace completed, the Outfield well under construction and shows the Lansing Brewery property alre…

Talking about aerials, the Google satellite images were updated within the past month or two, if you use the classic desktop version or the mobile version of maps you can check it out.

...And the Lansing Brewing Company continues to impress. Any idea when they'll be opening?

The demand for quality student housing near campus is incredible, however since most students aren't considered permanent residents it doesn't do much for population figures. Developments like this one are just scratching the surface of the demand t…

It looks very art deco, should be nice.

Yeah, that bridge sucks, on the plus side it's practically invisible from the road. The Kalamazoo St bridge isn't much better, it's in decent shape but is the standard railing and the way it arches it really separates the two sides of the river. …

That sounds pretty nice, I'm interested to see how it turns out. This is one more piece of the Michigan Ave puzzle sliding into place.

The auction was delayed until at least next Thursday: Park District auction starts, stops, to be continued Even though this auction doesn't include the old Citizens Bank building, I'm still glad to see some of the parcels move out of the control …

I have absolutely no idea how Township residents would react to an annexation attempt by Lansing. I know they'd have a local income tax and probably higher property taxes to deal with, the City would have to make a good case as to why it's worth it.…

When I first saw the headline I was worried this was regarding Red Cedar: Lansing claims Lansing Twp. intentionally blocking development' Lansing is saying that Lansing Township imposed a rezoning moratorium specifically to hinder the redevelopme…

I was by there earlier today and I'm a little disappointed that they tore down the older two floor building on Shiawassee, other than that I'm glad to see all the other buildings go, even that building won't be missed much. Besides, I know that for …

This park really is sort of an embarrassment as it sits, it's essentially a grassy field with a few dilapidated structures and paths. I've always imagined Riverfront being redesigned in a similar spirit to Millennium Park in Chicago. Whatever they d…

I remember those ramps, but I think they were gone by the time I drove myself. They were pretty ridiculous.

I thought I remembered something like that but I couldn't find anything when I looked. Anyways, it's nice to see that gas station come down, especially to be replaced by a new building.

I'll believe it when I see it. Did the development ever pass this step as Strathmore?
