Resident Advocates for City Support of Neighborhood Fiber Project
A resident spoke during community input to advocate for the city's support and facilitation of the Cityside Fiber project, which aims to bring neighborhood fiber internet to residents. The speaker emphasized that broadband is a necessity, not a luxury, and highlighted the importance of fast upload speeds for various applications. The project is presented as a long-term investment in the community's value, potentially improving property values. The timing is also noted as advantageous, allowing coordination with existing road projects to minimize disruption and cost. The project is described as a rare opportunity where the city, taxpayers, and residents all benefit, with no direct funding required from the city or taxpayers. The resident urged the council to support and facilitate the deployment and coordinate construction with existing road work.
