The City continues to increase their partnership with SeeClickFix. This online service provides yet another tool to help communicate your concerns to elected officials, City Departments, and with neighbors. I've set up a Watch Area - Ward 25-Alderman Dildine Watch Area - for our neighborhood. Click "Issues Map" to see current issues in our neighborhood. All issues (not just based on Keywords) added within this area will generate an email notification which I'll receive immediately.
Also, at least 53 other "Watchers" including several City Departments will get notifications based on Keywords in the issue's subject and text. While not all the City Departments are monitoring SeeClickFix, the NHPD, Transportation, Traffic & Parking (TT&P) and most recently the Department of Public Works (DPW) are now using this tool fairly effectively. TT&P will even acknowledge receipt. Several City Departments may look to be monitoring, but may not be as responsive or integrated to this alert system. I believe the City is working to improve the utilization of this tool, and I will forward requests to the proper department if I don't think certain departments are totally on board yet.
So, I encourage you to check this out and give it a try. Please sign up to "follow" my Watch Area; then you'll be assured that I have been notified of your issue; or, you can create your own area.
