@gbdinlansing - My comments weren't meant to be disparaging, but I think it's just a matter of fact. I have friends that work at GM. They don't have degrees or skilled trades training. They're still talented, smart, and skilled in what they do- and …

What GM and its suppliers offers is a livable wage for people without a formal education or skilled trades, I think it's an important component of the job mix here in the region. I understand that the workers have to seek training and education at s…

For what it's worth- I've been pretty vocal about my distaste for the post-modern architecture and the outdated plaza.

@ratchetwrench I may be mistaken, but it sounds like you're describing the damage that was done when the bus hit the old Grotto location a few months ago.

Beacon South is going to be great for the neighborhood and coincides nicely with what they're doing with the new public space. I've been trying to find their donation site because I want to contribute- but I still don't see it. Glad to hear that eff…

I should look into that. I did the trial for newspapers.com but it's pretty expensive. I bet the LSJ version is cheaper.

Are you referring to the white area along the bottom? If so, I believe those are the plots along Sumpter- those were among the first to be built in Churchill Downs. Excuse the super crude drawings, but I think that the red line is about where Loc…

That's a great find, thanks! This makes it easy for me to see what portion of that airstrip remains undeveloped today- it's the patch of dirt(?) in the upper right corner of the pic just under Holmes. I'll try to attach a shot of this view today …

It's Lansing Township, so I expect the worst.

Plate 5 on page 16 is particularly good. It shows which roads were current in 1921, and a proposal for connector roads and which roads should be widened. It doesn't look like the city took much or any of his suggestions for the west and south wes…

This may be old news (pun intended) for some of you, but it's new to me and incredibly interesting. I'm slowly reading through it today and pouring over the maps and suggestions. The Lansing plan ; a comprehensive city plan report for Lansing, Mi…

The FB comments to this project are pretty bad. The EL residents don't want it, are upset about it, and don't want more student housing. They learn nothing.

Yeah, I really don't see it happening.

This will be interesting. I follow Adam on social media, and he's shown public interest in these designs, well at least of in particular that I noticed. I should ask him about his position on this sale. I probably won't get an answer other than more…

I should know this, but who do you list as the hard-line opposition? I assume Carol Wood is one?

Check out the recent Lansing Development thread- lots of renderings of the City Hall proposals.

In other post I mentioned Urban Systems- here are some higher-res images of their proposals for City Hall and the Lake Trust side: Washington Ave, where the Lake Trust building is sitting. City Hall Washington Ave proposal Note…

The trick is to get there for lunch around 11:30 or 11:45 at the latest. Source: I work downtown and don't even attempt to eat out down there if it's past noon.

No one is feeling the skyline-altering Urban plan, hey?

It's tucked on the far lower left, super easy to miss. It's in the shape of a tilted cross
