I'm living now in Fresno, and the city somehow contracted Accela CRM and there's an app in the app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.publicstuff.fresno_ca&hl=en_US
I used that app already more than a dozen of times, mainly to report glasses or dirt/rocks on the bicycle routes, but it's target is very wide range: basically anything the city can handle/fix: from potholes to graffity, abandoned cars, etc you can report. The city will process it and act on it. Extremely useful. Now, in the future if all this was automated for potholes and glass on the road would be cool. Although Teslas probably won't drive on bicycle lanes :( Perhaps we should equip bicycles with down facing cameras :) On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 9:04 AM, Michael Chaney <[email protected]> wrote: > This has been done, multiple times.
