  • Is the conversion to two-way still happening to roads downtown? I’d assume if it were, it would be done along with any resurfacing, but the announcement doesn’t mention it.
  • Any idea on the history of that brick building in Cherry Hill? It’s a bummer it’s being demolished, I really wish we had more commercial/mixed use interspersed throughout our residential areas, not just on the main thoroughfares. I’m glad those buil…
  • You guys have probably seen this, but this Capitol Corridor Study has a really cool plan for the Frandor/Red Cedar area on page 99. http://migrand-charrette.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Capitol_Corridor_042814-web.pdf I’d love to see Fra…
  • Wow, I love this idea. It would be centrally located along the busiest bus route, and the huge focus on that corridor should give it more momentum. A historic building will satisfy all the people who hate new things, and there’s plenty of space to b…
  • Here’s a little more info. http://www.wilx.com/content/news/Rotary-Club-to-name-park-in-Lansing-481446091.html It mentions that it’s on the riverfront near the Lansing Center.

  • This is awesome. So the rivertrail mostly runs north/south and this project runs east. What are the chances we can get a connection to the Delta Twp trails to the west? A dedicated bike lane running along Willow could pretty much solve that. Or conn…
  • If they’d extend that weird bike lane that randomly starts about a mile to the east on Saginaw to connect with these trails, I’d like it a lot more.
  • I like the trails? Like @MichMatters said this looks just like the rest of west Lansing. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing, but it’s not very exciting for a blank slate.
  • In regard to the location, I think it’s out east enough to potentially allow for another grocer closer to the capitol in the future, especially as more residential developments go up. This one can probably sustain itself with the immediate neighbors…
