The Inkster City Council meeting, held November 2, 2026 (listed in the title as November 3), included a presentation on the proposed Michigan Avenue Innovation Network, a collaboration among 10 communities to market development sites through a shared database managed by Plante Moran. The city was asked to opt into the partnership by December; participation currently has no cost, though expenses could arise later, and the city could withdraw if it did not wish to bear them. No vote on joining was recorded. Council approved a zoning-map amendment for Inkster Housing Commission properties, changing the designation from single-family residential to neighborhood mixed use to align zoning with existing multifamily housing and help remove barriers to rehabilitation grants and housing tax credits.

Council also approved removing islands and barricades between Inkster Housing developments and surrounding streets. Officials reported two bids of approximately $228,700 and $241,800; the transcript does not clearly identify the selected bid or vendor. The project is to be funded approximately 90% from the major streets fund and 10% from local street funds, using budgeted but unassigned funds. Public commenters raised concerns about Flock cameras and a reported $250,000 cost, a proposed data center, and traffic safety, but no related procurement or policy action was recorded. Residents also raised a concern that city water-station work damaged a driveway; the mayor said he would inspect it.
