East Lansing city officials say they are hoping to redevelop property near the former Greyhound Bus Station on West Grand River Avenue, by adding condominiums and retail space. Council members refereed to the city's planning commission, at Tuesday's City Council work session, an ordinance to rezone the properties into what city officials are calling the "West Village." Plans to renovate part of the Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road, and resurface Burcham Road between Timberlane and Hagadorn Roads were also discussed at the session. The "West Village" property covers what is now the Greyhound Bus Station, the Sunshine Restaurant and a few rental houses to the west. Jerome Abood, of Signature Associates, said he plans to turn the run-down bus station into owner-occupied housing because of the city's request. "The plan is to do a mixed use development with commercial stores, condos and some townhouses," Abood said. Jim van Ravensway, East Lansing's director of planning and community development, said the city wanted to make sure Abood's plans did not include adding more rentals into the East Lansing area. "He knew that it was the city's preference that the area be owner-occupied," van Ravensway said.
