I love the new lampposts that are being put up on Martin Luther King Blvd between 496 and the Hall of Justice. How far north on MLK will these new black double-lampposts go? Are there plans to replace the wire-strung traffic lights with traffic lights on poles? With these new lights, the newly-planted trees, and the brick portions of the sidewalks that were replaced, this area already looks so dramatically different!

Hello everyone! I'm new to registering on this site, but have been reading people's posts for several months. Hopefully I've figured out how to post! Did people happen to catch the story in the LSJ on 1/4/08 about the Motor Wheels lofts (http://lsj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/...EWS01/801040319)? I'm glad to see that it's full occupied and what an amazing transformation from how the building looked when I moved to the Lansing area seven years ago! In reading the comments on the LSJ article, I happened to see a comment mentioning that many Lansing city police officers do not reside in the city. I'd assumed for a police officer sworn to protect and serve a city that living in that city was a condition of employment. How common is it for cities not to require their police to live within the city limits? What other Lansing municipal employees (firefighters, administrators, public school system employees) are not required to live within the city?
