It was a year of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, great 2020 turmoil, and divisiveness, and a year that ripped at our souls over the civil unrest that erupted on multiple occasions. The pain of our nation’s failures to come to grips with social justice was felt throughout our communities and within all of our organizations. If there is good news to come out of the past 12 months, it has been in a renewed commitment to elevating the cause of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I).

On March 16, 2020, I issued an emergency order closing all City buildings to the public and sending a large portion of our workforce to work from home due to the COIVD-19 pandemic. We were faced with the same questions as the rest of the country: how to run a city while protecting our employees and our residents? City of Lansing employees showed up and continue to serve residents with integrity and professionalism. Our essential workers, the backbone of our City, washed their hands, masked up and went to work. Our police officers, firefighters, paramedics and EMT’s responded to tens of thousands of calls for service to aid our residents and keep them safe. Our Public Service staff completed more than 14 miles of road improvements, more than 1,200 tree trimming/removals and cleaned more than 66 miles of storm and sanitary sewer pipes.

Itʼs possible to split a boulder in two using a cherry pit. -- A well-known Lansing landmark was “half-way rock,” also known as “split rock.” Located on Michigan Avenue, it marked the approximate half way point between MSU (then Michigan State College) and the Capitol. -- College students making the three mile trek to downtown Lansing looked for the half-way rock. One passer-by placed a cherry pit in a small crack in the rock. Over time, a tree sprouted, grew, and eventually split the rock in two. -- The rock and the tree were removed in 1925 for the purpose of widening the road. One half of the rock now stands as a marker just southwest of the MSU Union building.
