I have been trying to find a published site plan for this one and have been having a hard time. Despite a recent redesign which is claimed to be more user friendly, I think that the city's website is still abysmal to navigate. Apart from the main City Commission Minutes and Agendas, it is very hard to find other documentation for site plan reviews, zoning, etc. that you'd think should be readily accessible. Catalyst Development Co. doesn't seem to have a website either, and the local media has not published a site plan that I'm aware of. I will keep looking. Maybe I can ask someone from Tower.
Meanwhile, this happened over the weekend along Bates Alley.
It was announced last year that Downtown Kalamazoo Inc. would be working with the City and local tenants to close Bates Alley to vehicular traffic. The ultimate plan is that there will be more streetscaping with outdoor dining tables and chairs, lights, etc. to serve that stretch of dining establishments along Michigan Ave. The planting occurred late last fall I think. Everything else was supposed to be up and running earlier this summer. I'm glad to see it is at least moving along. I think there was a lot of utility work in the alley that they were waiting to have wrap up first which caused some delays. This was funded by an online fundraising effort and a matching grant, totaling $100,000.
A different angle -
