Reporting a Civic Issue

1
Tap "New Report"
From the home screen, tap the New Report button at the bottom of the map. Choose the type of issue you want to report.
2
Place the Pin
A red pin appears in the center of the map. Pan the map to move the pin to the exact location of the issue. If you allow location access, the map will jump to your current position automatically. Tap Confirm when the pin is in the right spot.
3
Add Details (Optional)
Add a short note describing the issue (up to 280 characters) and attach a photo if you have one. Then tap Submit Report.

Your report appears on the map immediately. Notes and photos go through a quick automated review before they become visible to others.

Issue Types

You can report the following types of issues:

TypeUse for
🕳️PotholeHoles in the road surface
🗑️Illegal DumpDumped trash, furniture, or debris
🌳Tree / BranchFallen trees or branches blocking roads
🌊FloodingStanding water or flooded areas
🚧Road DamageCracks, sinkholes, or damaged surfaces
📋OtherAnything else that needs attention

Photos & Notes

Both are optional but help the community understand the issue. Photos are resized automatically before upload. You can use your phone's camera directly or select an existing image.

Notes have a 280-character limit. Keep them short and descriptive — something like "Large pothole in the right lane near the crosswalk" is perfect.

Moderation

All notes and photos are reviewed automatically before they appear publicly. This keeps the map useful and appropriate for everyone. The pin and issue type show up immediately — only the text and image go through review. Most content is approved within seconds.

Snow Plow Tracking

During winter storms, you can track which streets have been plowed using the Street Plow page.

1
Find Your Street
Search by name or browse the interactive map.
2
Vote on Conditions
Tap a street and hit "Plowed" or "Not Plowed" based on what you see. Allow location access to drop a pin showing exactly where you're reporting from. On the map, tap any road to vote directly.
3
Come Back After the Plow
You can vote again after an hour. If your street gets plowed later, come back and update it.

How Street Statuses Work

A street's status is determined by majority vote during the current storm. If a street has 5 "plowed" votes and 3 "not plowed" votes, it shows as plowed. Tied votes are broken by the most recent vote.

Statuses are sticky — a street plowed at 2 AM stays plowed the next morning, even if no one has voted recently. When a new storm hits, all votes are cleared and every street resets to unknown.

City Verified Streets

Some streets display a gold "City Verified" badge. This means a city official has confirmed the street has been plowed. You can still vote on verified streets — if you notice problems, report it as "Not Plowed" and your vote counts. This helps the city see where issues remain.

About the Map

The map shows streets colored by status and civic issue pins by type:

Civic issue pins are color-coded by type. Tap any pin to see details, or tap a road to see its plow status and vote.

Map Filtering

Use the layer control in the top-right corner of the map to show or hide categories. You can toggle individual issue types, plow statuses, and vote pins on and off. Use "Hide All / Show All" to quickly clear or restore the map.

City Parks

The City Parks page is a directory of parks, trails, nature preserves, and outdoor spaces in the city. Each listing includes the park's location on an interactive map, address, hours, activities, and facilities.

You can browse parks two ways:

Parks are grouped by category: City Parks, Trails, Nature Preserves, State Parks & Forests, and Water Recreation.

Reporting a Park Issue

See something wrong at a park? Tap Report issue on any park card to send a report directly to the city.

1
Choose an Issue Type
Select the category that best describes the problem: Safety hazard, Maintenance needed, Vandalism, Accessibility issue, or Other.
2
Describe It (Optional)
Add a short note up to 500 characters. Be specific — "Broken swing on the east side of the playground" is more useful than "playground broken."
3
Attach a Photo (Optional)
A photo helps the city prioritize and locate the problem quickly. You can take one with your camera or choose an existing image from your library.

Park reports go directly to city staff for review. They are not shown publicly on the map — they're an internal reporting tool, not a community feed.
