Imagine the Avenue

Shaping the Avenue is an initiative to realize years of community visioning for the Avenue (Michigan and Grand River Avenues) by putting the land use and street design regulations in place to support economic development, build upon community character, and improve comfort and safety for all modes of travel – cyclists, drivers, pedestrians, and transit users. Initiated in 2016, this planning effort is a multi-jurisdictional partnership between the municipalities of Lansing, Lansing Township, East Lansing, Meridian Township, and the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA).
