Reliable internet for a poorly served area

Resident says homes on and around Alwin Street have little or no wifi, hurting students' schoolwork and adults' ability to work from home, and asks for reliable internet access.

English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

They have no or very poor wifi - how can these kids get equitable access for school work? How can the adults work from home & rely on city emergency services? It is way overdue to get this section of the city reliably online

Who it helps and why

See above, and know that these are not high income houses, so that alone define equity. I do not know the racial makeup of the community, but I have seen various ethnicities when on ALwin St.
