Lansing Roundabout Installation Question

The roundabout at Michigan Avenue and Washington Square in downtown Lansing is going to get a sculpture, which will make the approach to the Capitol an even more inviting one.

When I moved to Lansing in 1990, the approach to Michigan Avenue included a 'Velvet Fingers' adult store and a couple of bars. It had character, but not really a lot of class.

Since then, there's been a SIGNIFICANT revitalization of the blocks of Michigan Avenue just east of the Capitol, including the construction of Cooley Law School Stadium, the entire Stadium District, several restaurant/bars, the renovation of the Lansing Center and improvements to the Riverfront.

The Community Foundation has been a partner in improving Greater Lansing in a variety of ways and one more way they want to improve our region, is by creating public art installments - and you can vote on which of the above sculptures that you'd like to see at Michigan and Washington, in front of the Capitol.
