EAST LANSING, Mich — A vacant lot at the corner of Lake Lansing and Abbot roads in East Lansing could soon become home to a new Meijer gas station, but local residents are expressing concerns about the development. The proposed gas station would offer more traditional groceries than typical convenience stores. Neighbors raised concerns about environmental impacts and traffic safety at an already busy intersection. City Council has not yet taken action on the special use permit for the project.
