The City of Lincoln Park held a council meeting on September 14, 2026, addressing a variety of community issues with a strong focus on infrastructure and public services.

The council also scheduled a study session with Plant Moran to discuss water and sewer rate development, reflecting ongoing concerns about water infrastructure and rate increases. Several residents voiced concerns about water main breaks, high water bills, and the quality of restoration work following infrastructure repairs. The meeting also covered capital improvement projects such as park equipment replacements funded by CDBG and Wayne County grants, including upgrades to playgrounds and the conversion of a cement pad into a pickleball court. Additionally, the council discussed the allocation of approximately $400,000 in grant money for Flock cameras, which drew public criticism given other pressing infrastructure needs. The meeting included motions to vacate an alley and to amend marijuana licensing ordinances, with the latter deferred for further review. Overall, the meeting highlighted significant community engagement on procurement and budget issues related to water infrastructure, public safety technology, and park improvements.
