Today we have launched a new feature on The Local East Village – a collaboration with SeeClickFix, an organization that offers a variety of platforms to report local non-emergency concerns, such as potholes,
graffiti and broken street lamps.
Using SeeClickFix, we hope to raise awareness about different issues in the East Village. This collated information is directly available and can be viewed from the East Village watch area on this blog.
You can also use the page to post your concerns about the neighborhood.
Anyone, including local government officials, neighborhood groups and private individuals, can sign up to receive notifications about posted concerns.
As journalists, we also hope to use the information to help us report more effectively on community concerns and draw attention to them.
We would like to invite you to take a look at SeeClickFix on The Local East Village and encourage you to report neighborhood issues.
You can do this from the main map page on The Local East Village. The information you enter there will appear both as a report on the map and on the main SeeClickFix site.
If you have any problems posting or tracking issues, please visit the SeeClickFix help section.
You can also post to SeeClickFix while on the go using mobile devices and you can follow posts within the East Village area via @SeeClickFixLEV on Twitter.
We look forward to hearing what you think most needs fixing in the East Village.
