The 40 miles per hour speed inhibits the opportunity for economic growth and development of Inkster's downtown area. Neighboring cities with lower speed limits are experiencing more patronage for businesses because drivers move slow enough to discover what is available.
Why is this important?
Inkster is rebuilding its downtown and its image. The 40 miles per hour speed limit encourages drivers to zip through the city with little opportunity to see and discover at a slower pace.
