DETROIT (AP) - Updates on street construction tied to the Detroit light rail project will be available to businesses and residents at a community meeting.

The M-1 RAIL will host its November Community Advisory Council meeting Thursday evening at St. John's Episcopal Church on Woodward Avenue in Detroit.
