Someone with a subscription to Newspapers.com (which I don’t have) has helpfully clipped a legal notice compelling sidewalk construction from the May 15, 1961, [Lansing] State Journal. The city was having sidewalk built on a lot of streets near Cavanaugh Park in the old Everett neighborhood. I see a lot of parcels on Lowcroft Street, Ora Street, and Southgate Avenue, among others. Also, note the dubious factoid about weasels run as a space-filler above the legal notices.

As I’m not familiar with the south side at all, I was surprised to see a Livernois Street listed. Livernois is a major street in Detroit, but I didn’t know there was one in Lansing. I went to check it out in the Google street view and discovered that it is such an inconsequential street that Google has not taken photos of it. It’s a narrow, dirt road, a block long, that runs alongside Cavanaugh Park; according to Lansing’s property records, there are no addresses on it. Curiously, there are two lots on Livernois listed in the 1961 sidewalk construction notice, yet the street view (its short length can be seen from Cavanaugh) shows that there is no sidewalk on it now.
