San Francisco - SeeClickFix,
a website that empowers residents to take responsibility for their neighborhood, is now
serving San Francisco. Peter Schurman, a San Francisco resident, is excited about the service and is helping SeeClickFix
to build local awareness, to make San Francisco even more beautiful and livable.
The SeeClickFix.com
website allows anyone to:
- See - see a non-emergency issue in your neighborhood.
- Click - open a ticket describing the issue and what can be done to resolve it.
- Fix - take responsibility by watching an area and solving the problem or passing it on to someone who can, such as a city official.
Here in San Francisco, your Supervisor is automatically emailed whenever a new issue in their district is reported to the site. Reported issues
are visible to anyone, and anyone can comment on them.
"SeeClickFix
is a resource for getting stuff fixed, whether it's a pothole, a noise source, or a traffic choke-point. Just put your issue on the map, and city
officials will hear about it. You can check out what issues your neighbors are posting too," said Peter Schurman, a local " title="SeeClickFix" target="_blank" href="http://www.seeclickfix.com/issues?search=SEARCH+CLICKETS+BY+KEYWORD&at=San+Francisco%2C+ca&radius=50&status=Open&x=0&y=0">SeeClickFix
enthusiast.
Ben Berkowitz, a founder of SeeClickFix,
said: "Imagine a world where every citizen feels empowered and part of their neighborhood. Imagine if everyone trusted and felt taken care of by their
local government. We know there are already a lot of involved citizens and hard-working local authorities and service people. We're using the power of the
Internet to bring them closer together and reach even more people.
"No set-up time. No hiring consultants to study the issue. Just SeeClickFix,"
Berkowitz continued.
