Streets change, you last?
Residents learn council votes post-passing yearly. Agendas hide.
1. The problem
Neighborhood residents learn council decisions after passing yearly. Zoning changes affect streets directly. Agendas publish obscurely PDFs. Meetings run weekday evenings. The hardest part is relevant flagging simply. A vote might rezone blocks. That uncertainty makes it hard to speak timely.
“Learning post-passing yearly here. I need nightly watches with explainers.”
2. What exists
Council portals, local press and minutes publish decisions, while residents learn late yearly. Portals bury items deeply. Press covers scandals only. There is little help with topic alerts plus plain explainers for residents.
3. The solution
The solution could be a speak-timely engine. It could watch agendas nightly simply. It could flag nearby items wisely. Explainers could decode impacts. The goal would be heard residents, watched councils.
