Promoting smart growth with a new greenbelt (Lansing)

[RustTown]

An interesting and long read from this week's City Pulse:

Promoting smart growth with a new greenbelt

http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/index.php?...0&Itemid=29

It lays out, comprehensively, what it will take to accomplish a green-belt, and how Metro Lansing has a lot in place to do such a thing.

Great news! I hope this becomes a reality.

When I was at Michigan State, I had a Nature Study course (give me a break, it was 1979)where we took field trips to natural ares all around Lansing. Since then, I have lived in many beautiful places, but I am still drawn to the gentle glacial terrain of Central Michigan.

If Lansing gets light rail, I may be able to move back in time to work on your mayoral campaign, LMich ...

Sounds good to me! I think this would be great for Lansing, stop that sprawl!

I've heard Lansing being a major green city could happen as well.
