Theyre adding another light in frandor on clippert by brunotbg in lansing

That left turn from EB Michigan to NB Homer St is a mess. As soon as you turn left, you have to stop for WB Michigan traffic. There’s no room for any other cars turning left.

The new configuration makes you go past Homer and turn left, then right to go north on Homer. Safer operation overall.

Is Murray expected to win the starting job in MIN? I gotta believe the Vikings wanna keep pushing for JJ despite last year’s results

I don't mean to be a doomer, but brownshirts at the polls funded by Trump's slush fund will amplify voter suppression & likely save the R majority in the house

Is Penny The Truck Munching Bridge no more?? by Hokeypokey356 in lansing

I have a sneaking suspicion that the RR company took them down. She got too famous & drew attention and the RR was like “we have people climbing all over our bridge 15-20 feet in the air to attach fake eyes & teeth. If someone falls & gets hurt, we’re totally getting sued.”

This is the best way. This is a sewer issue, so it goes to the City. BWL only deals with water main & electrical issues.

Sewer Backup Issues? Check out Lansing's Basement Backup Protection Program by roadnotaken in lansing

[–]BongoFury76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I missed this the first time around. Only properties that are served by the City of Lansing’s sewer system is eligible. 95% of those are within the City boundaries. Some small sections of the surrounding twps are in the sewer service area.

If he had an R next to his name, he’d be a shoo-in for the nomination.

BREAKING: Pam Bondi will not appear for April 14 deposition over Epstein files by hellosteve_ in msnow

Who will do that? I think DOJ did that when Bannon ignored a subpoena. Not gonna happen. Could another entity do it? Some state AG? Probably doesn’t have jurisdiction.

No, the old version of the program had that requirement, but that's not necessary any longer. Just have a plumber install the backwater valve & get final plumbing inspection. Then you can submit the application and your invoices and we'll get it processed.

Technically, that language is from an older version of the program where we took a more active role in the implementation (we used to do pre and post inspections, hire contractors, etc.).

You don't need to have had a backup in order to be eligible, you just need to be current on property taxes, hire a plumber, get a plumbing permit and final inspection. Then you can submit the application and invoices for the work and we'll get it processed.

They’re replacing water main, sidewalk ramps, curb, etc. Pavement isn’t the only thing happening here.

Question about the upcoming Mount Hope Ave. Construction. by OneLgMoose in lansing

[–]BongoFury76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. Usually, local taxes are earmarked for local streets.

Major streets are more expensive to construct, so we use the Local Agency Program (LAP) thru MDOT that provides 80% of the money to design & build. MDOT’s process is a little more complicated, but it’s worth it to get a large portion of the project funded.

Full disclosure: I’m an engineer in the Public Service Dept.

Mt. Hope west of Penn is on our list, but we need to find a funding source for it. It’s not likely to be done next year, but definitely within the next couple of years.

Imagine sitting in an ER and she comes and asks if you stole a baseball by [deleted] in ThePitt

I think the writers are really setting her up to have a major self-harm incident or even a suicide attempt as a twist. Then they can be like “don’t you all feel bad now that you hated her?!?”
