It’s construction season in Michigan and we know that could inconvenience our patients as they make their way to important appointments at Sparrow offices in downtown Lansing. We’ve put together a quick guide for navigating the detours and cones so you can get where you need to go without too much hassle. US-127 is being worked on from Michigan Avenue to I-96 with closures at the Trowbridge Road ramps and westbound I-96 ramps. The work at the US-127 and I-96 intersection is scheduled to be completed in June 2024 and the Trowbridge intersection work is scheduled to be completed in December 2024. To avoid those issues, consider the following: • If you are coming from the north or south, Cedar Street and Pennsylvania Avenue are open. • If you are coming from the east or west, Michigan Avenue is open.

MnDOT is taking the next big step in its $86-million campus redevelopment project, and they’re on the lookout for a construction manager to lead the charge. 🏗️ This project will redevelop Minnesota Department of Transportation's (MnDOT) District 1 Virginia campus with a new 175,000-square-foot truck station and headquarters facility, with a focus on modernization and enhanced efficiency. Key highlights of the redevelopment plan: • The campus redevelopment will replace and upgrade aging facilities that have served MnDOT since the 1950s. • From a design standpoint, MnDOT has said the new building will need to meet the requirements of the Minnesota B3 Sustainable Building Program. • Besides the main building, scopes of work range from demolition of existing structures and removal of contaminated soils to construction of multiple storage facilities. LHB, Inc. has been tapped to design the new facility. This is a major opportunity for firms specializing in large-scale infrastructure projects! If you're in the construction industry and looking to be a part of this transformation, this is a chance to contribute to a project that makes an impact for Minnesota. 🔗 Read the full details here: https://lnkd.in/gUaTec_W #MnDOT #MinnesotaConstruction #ConstructionManagement #Infrastructure #Redevelopment #Sustainability #ConstructionNews

After 6 years in the making, the Boston Zoning Commission voted on Wednesday to approve the  Boston Planning and Development Agency's (#BPDA) recommendation to overhaul Article 53 of the Boston Zoning Code which is applicable to East Boston. The final adoption of PLAN: East Boston approved a number of map and text amendments to the Zoning Code that will update almost all of the zoning regulations that have governed the East Boston neighborhood for more than thirty (30) years. The recommended amendments received unanimous support from the Zoning Commission. These changes to Article 53 are pretty significant for property owners, developers and the community at large providing predictability and better planning for neighborhood growth allowing for more housing, mixed use and plans to address climate resiliency. Important takeaways include:   •     Creation of new zoning districts that will allow for an increase in the number of allowed residential units per lot; •     The elimination of or increases in maximum floor/area ratios (FAR) for most neighborhoods allowing for more habitable space per lot; •     No requirement for minimum lot size or lot frontage; •     Increases in allowable building heights in squares and corridors; •     Requirements for more site permeability and limits on building lot coverage; •     Reducing (and in some cases eliminating) minimum off street parking requirements.   Feel free to connect if you wish to discuss how these changes may affect your property or future project or require assistance in navigating these new amendments.  #Development #EastBoston #Zoning

Everywhere is walkable, neighbors wave to one another, kids ride their bikes to school, residents take the bus to work. Minutes to the University of Iowa Campus & Iowa River Landing.
