    I just wish they would put some sort of sculpture or statue in the middle for once, but I'm sure some manual insists on road signs being needed in abundance in the middle instead, and that the sight lines are 100% clear of "distractions".

    I would think this is possible if they really wanted.  Google streetview isn't up to date, but here is a newish roundabout in Zeeland with a town sign and landscaping in the center.  It's tall enough that you cannot see over it.

    I like this project but those buildings are so "pedestrian" and I don't mean that in a good way. Looks like apartments on Alpine Avenue. 

    I agree that these look out of place.  I would go with more of a wharf warehouse look with a slight nod to Dutch architecture.  Similar to the market buildings in Boston.

  3. Since they're looking for crazy ideas:  Holland is looking for a use for the old waterfront powerplant site.  Then you could justify a frequent rail service between the lakeshore and downtown GR as the rail line goes right to the waterfront at Padnos.

    ***I do not think this is an actual solution and would prefer downtown GR as well...

    3. This massive thing was going down Byron Center Rd. @ 28th street in Wyoming. Obviously part of a road project, just not sure where.

    Looks like maybe this beam was headed to Manistee for the new M55 bridge?

    First quarter 2021 rental vacancy rates are out and we're at a startling 1.7%, putting us as the lowest in the country for MSA's.

    Don't recall if Holland is in the GR MSA, but thought this was interesting...  Not sure what to make of it.  There are apartment complexes going up all over the place here on the Lakeshore. 

    Is Holland Township expanding too quickly? Board mulls moratorium on large-scale housing development

    The name is still not really catchy. Maybe even less. But the facility now has casino money backing it, so that makes it worth it.

    Put some nickel slots in and my mom would basically live there. LOL!

    Could also have gone with Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Concert Hall...  :)

     

    Gun Lake Casino is owned and operated by the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians (Gun Lake Tribe).
