The 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.
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 to make it more walkable, attract a larger base of customers and create a pleasant living environment for surrounding neighbors.
A community planning and visioning process for the revitalization of Michigan Avenue took place in August and October 2008. The feedback from the meetings will help drive the creation of a preliminary plan for the project
The Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority Study Committee is responsible for implementing the Michigan Avenue revitalization project.
The Conceptual Development Plan (updated September 2009) for the Michigan Avenue Corridor is available. This plan is currently under review. Please contact staff with your comments and/or questions.
