The owners of a parking lot at Bailey Street and Albert Avenue in East Lansing closed off a portion of the property. This action followed the city's rejection of a proposal for a high-rise apartment complex earlier this summer. Bob Metzger, who represents the lot owners, stated the closure was intended to prompt the city to reconsider its decision.
