  • No, it's a MagLev system that their proposing, that's what ITC has always proposed.
  • I don't think MagLev is pie in the sky, sure it is in it's infancy, but it is the technology of the future. I say if they can get it financed thats awesome for the state, we could be leading the country in transportation technology once again. I was…
  • I like the idea of putting their offices there, the current offices are in disrepair and that land would be much more valuable.
  • I still wish they could have reused this building somehow.
  • I really like the entrance to Durant Park, I wish there were more things like that around Lansing.
  • I was more talking about businesses leaving in general, even though that trend is beginning to reverse. It seems most of the small offices of all types have been lost to suburban office parks, it's slowed some since the 80's and 90's though.
  • It's nice to see that somebody wants to stay downtown.
  • It's on the website under Local News Briefs. I hope that this happens and that the place has the same look and feel as the original. I wonder if it will be at the same location?
  • I'm guessing that they were planning on the new city market and riverwalk to already be under construction by now.
  • Deal reached on Old Town's Temple Club This is good news, they said that they expect to turn it into office space and renovations are to be done by early 2010.
  • That's nicer than I thought, they actually got creative with it.
  • Wasn't there supposed to be another smart zone established around downtown, or did that already happen?
  • I'm sure the major transportation system would be BRT or light rail. I hope this goes through, if he can't get the full $110m hopefully he focuses on that new transit line instead of buses.
  • I agree that reducing the demand for downtown parking in a city like Lansing isn't feasible without losing the people who parked there. However, I would hardly say that having a ramp on Washington is no different than Capitol or Grand. Washington sh…
  • There's a lot to digest from all these posts, so I only really have a few points. First, Mr. Hewitt, you said something about AF expecting visitors for shopping and dining, does that mean there will be some public space in the building? I have…
  • Did anyone know that the sesquicentennial parade is this Saturday? It's supposed to be like three hours long.
  • I think your council predictions will be accurate (I don't know about Lawless though), but would Wood's term on council continue if she lost or is that also coming up this election?
  • Just for clarification I meant more 6-12 floor buildings, with maybe a few taller exceptions. I personally think East Village will be scaled very well for East Lansing and MSU.
  • I would love to see more large buildings in EL, within reason of course. Regardless of what some EL residents would like to think, EL is not a quaint little town, it is home to a major university so they need to start acting like it. Larger building…
  • This sucks for the City, LCC and especially for nearby residents. Oh well though, we'll see a nice new parking ramp and more than likely the N Capitol Ramp will not be replaced or rehabbed when the time comes to tear it down.
