Nifty way to report neighborhood problems

The Jefferson Park Hub joined with SeeClickFix, an advocacy Web site, to encourage community members to report troublesome neighborhood issues directly from our site.

SeeClickFix allows anyone to report and track non-emergency issues in Jefferson Park via the Internet. It empowers allows all of us improve the neighborhood. It is only as good as people using it, so we encourage people to use the program. To find it, look on the right column on this site.

The software was recently promoted in the New York Time. Read about how neighborhoods are using it here.
SeeClickFix users post a complaint about problems that occur within a set of boundaries on a Google Map, like graffiti at a bus stop or potholes on a busy street, and the site communicates the problem to the appropriate government agency and marks the problem on the map.
