It has been fascinating experimenting with SeeClickFix over the past three months. While initially skeptical of the tool that claims to combine civic engagement, online social networking, and local politicos to fix real world problems, I’ve been amazed at the effectiveness of this site. SeeClickFix has allowed me to create noticeable changes in my own Adams Morgan Neighborhood including:
- Fixing a dangerous pedestrian crossing at 18th St/Florida/U St by installing signage.
- DDOT Director Klein, Councilmember Graham and ANC Commissioner Wilson Reynolds responded
- Fixing (trimming) overgrown bushes at the Marie Reed Community Center that had become a haven for criminals
- ANC Commissioner Stacey Moye responded and CCed DC’s Urban Forestry Administration and Department of Parks and Recreation
- Fixing (re-erecting) a no parking sign that had been knocked down after a tree was removed on my block
- Councilmember Graham, DDOT’s Aaron Rhones and James Burney responded
- Councilmember Graham, DDOT’s Aaron Rhones and James Burney responded
SeeClickFix really is more responsive government at your fingertips!
