The city of Lansing hosted its annual “Salads and Solutions” luncheon on Friday, with some details on what the city has done in the last year and what it plans to do in the future.

This year, Mayor Kenneth Bernard said there have been several big projects completed for the city, and several others that have cropped up.

In 2009, he said the Lansing City Council was able to choose and begin to engineer a segment of DeSoto Road to improve and expand with the help of about $288,000 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
