Dial 311
The Civic Association is encouraging all members to dial the new 3-1-1 service, whenever you notice a non-emergency neighborhood problem, DAY OR NIGHT! This includes litter, broken street lights or fire hydrants, city services, or just to answer a general question you may have about Philadelphia.
The reason we are so excited about this service is because, if it works the way it should, it will increase government accountability. 311 callers will receive a tracking number, allowing them to follow-up on their service request. They will also be given a specific time frame in which to expect the service to be provided so that they have clear expectations of when and how their request will be answered.
The data collected from 311 to track, evaluate, and if necessary correct, service patterns in the departments. So call!
New High Rise on Walnut
The Zoning and Governmental Affairs Committee of the WSWCA is scheduled to begin discussions with the owners of 1213 Walnut Street, this Tuesday the 2nd of June at 1001 Locust Street, Room 208, Hamilton Building. This will likely be the largest building that has ever been built in Wash West, so if you'd like to hear what's happening and voice your opinion, this is the place to do it. The meeting is public and will begin at 7pm.
Water Dept. Survey
The PWD is planning some work in our area, although it's still up in the air as to exactly where and when. In the meantime, they have an online survey about stormwater runoff that we thought our Wash West neighbors may be interested in filling out. Find it at http://www.phillywatersheds.org/public/gssurvey.php.
