To judge by an “issue reporting map” just created by the Maple Leaf Community Council, there isn’t much to worry about in our neighborhood.
But that’s likely because not many people so far have found the online map, here.
The council’s idea is that residents can report traffic hazards, graffiti or abandoned property in the hope that higher visibility will end the problem.
The map runs on SeeClickFix technology that’s easy to use. The company says:
Citizens who take the time to report even minor issues and see them fixed are likely to get more engaged in their local communities. It’s called a self-reinforcing loop. This also makes people happy and everyone benefits from that.
At the moment, the biggest problems reported on the Maple Leaf map are graffiti at Maple Leaf Park and an abandoned computer monitor on Fifth Avenue Northeast (since removed).
What other problems should be reported, and fixed?
