Lansing

Description

A private parking deck with rooftop residential amenities bridging the new 28-story tower and its parking ramp across the street, built over the public right-of-way. The commission recommended approval.

Sidewalks narrow to as little as 8.8 feet at spots, three street trees are removed, and the deck will carry only private parking and amenities — no public access.

Grand Tower parking deck over South Grand Avenue

New Vision Lansing wants to bridge its 28-story tower and parking ramp with a private deck over a public street, using city air rights and right-of-way. Sidewalks narrow slightly and three trees are removed, but the city gets new downtown residents who should support nearby businesses.
