Michigan Ave Corridor Improvement Authority Study CommiteeThe Michigan Avenue corridor that links downtown Lansing with downtown East Lansing is an important transportation artery. It is also a critical link between our downtowns and between the State Capital and Michigan State University. Improving this corridor will result in connecting a multitude of important employers and cultural resources into a distinctly cohesive and welcoming district. Community MeetingsA community planning and visioning process for the revitalization of Michigan Avenue will take place.
Two workshops took place in August and a third will be held in October, where the goals for the project based on community feedback from the first two workshops will be presented.

Facilitated by the Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority Study Committee, the workshops will help drive the creation of a preliminary plan for the Michigan Avenue revitalization project. The revitalization project is the result of a partnership between the City of East Lansing, City of Lansing, Lansing Township and Michigan State University. The ultimate goal of the project is to revitalize and beautify the Michigan Avenue corridor so as to make it more walkable, attract a larger base of customers to businesses and create a pleasant living environment for surrounding neighbors.
