With 16 out of 17 precincts reporting, East Lansing's proposal asking residents to authorize the city to sell parking lots to private developers won't pass.
As of 11 p.m. Tuesday night, 57 percent voted yes for the proposal, but the initiative needs 60 percent of the vote to pass.
Although the ballot proposal was not linked to the Park District project, the city had planned to sell the properties to DTN Management Co., the private developer looking to be chosen for the construction of the Park District redevelopment.
The parking lots on sale are parking lots 4, 8 and 15 in downtown East Lansing. Parking lot 4 is located on the northwest corner of Abbot Road and Albert Avenue. Parking lot 8 is located north of The Peoples Church. Parking lot 15 is located across from City Hall.
