Residents press Inkster council on potholes, unfinished roadwork and blight enforcement

During the public‑comment portion of the meeting, residents raised persistent street‑maintenance and blight concerns and asked the council for clearer enforcement and faster repairs.

A resident identified in the transcript as Paul said he has made multiple SeeClickFix reports about potholes on Stohlman between Shadow Lawn and John Daly (calls and submissions cited on March 26, March 27, April 1 and an April 28 online request) and said repairs have not been completed. He asked for a timeline for the work on John Daly and nearby stretches, saying the roadway condition deteriorates as soon as drivers enter Inkster from adjacent communities.

Paul also urged the city to enforce ordinances on uncut lawns and trash, saying some complaints appear not to result in tickets or corrective action. He said he had emailed an official named Mr. Chisholm but had not received action on some neighborhood issues.

The council acknowledged the comments during the meeting; no formal motion or staff-committed schedule to complete the repairs is recorded in the public transcript.
