The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Create a city owned and operated wheelchair repair mobile van. Wheelchair repairs are tedious and expensive - let's fix that!
Who it helps and why
Wheelchairs are essential to community access. A broken wheelchair leaves the user completely isolated awaiting repairs. This would allow for improved community access.
