Drivers parking in Downtown Lansing and Old Town will see several changes beginning this summer, including a new free 15-minute parking option, shorter enforcement hours and expanded parking time limits.

The changes were approved by the Lansing City Council in May following recommendations from a citywide parking study and feedback from business owners and community stakeholders.

The Lansing restaurant scene has experienced a lot of movement over the last six months. We’ve seen a mix of restaurant openings and closings—with the numbers leaning slightly in favor of the openings.

Now, we have another opening to add to the list.

If you’ve been waiting for this seafood place to open, you’re in luck, because Sea Leveaux Cajun Boil is planning its grand opening soon.

Downtown Lansing Inc. is proud to recognize Finger Lickin’ Chicken & Fish and University Weiner as our July Businesses of the Month.

As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, I find myself reflecting on the many changes, challenges, and opportunities that have shaped Michigan’s Downtown over the years. Through the years of economic shifts, changing workplace trends, and periods of growth and reinvention, one thing has remained constant – Downtown Lansing continues to stand as the heart of our Capital City.
