Good to see that this land getting attention, again, though, I must say that it's really too bad Townsend wasn't able to hold onto the site. I really like the attention he gives to quality.
From yesterday:
Lansing Board of Water & Light REO Cogeneration Plant
Saginaw Street Bridge reconstruction
The project includes the replacing the old bridge -- built in 1928 and expanded in 1955 -- with a new one of 4 lanes (down from five), widening the sidewalks, decorative lighting, and increasing the clearance over the river so that the Lansing River Trail, below, can be raised to reduce flooding. The river trail will also be widened by three feet to improve passing.
BTW, the council passed 7-1 the Kewadin Lansing casino plan, last night, as well as the mixed use parking garage to go up adjacent to the stadium. So, that takes care of everything the city has to do. Now, a year or two of legal wrangling to see if this pie-in-the-sky development ever gets off the ground.
