See It. Click It. Fix It.
Tonight, Wednesday, 11/18 at 7:00PM, the Society Hill Civic Association's regular membership meeting will include information about SeeClickFix. SCF is a widely-used community engagement tool where neighborhoods, advocacy groups, journalists and governments promote civic dialogue and resolve urgent issues.
Using SeeClickFix, any citizen may report and monitor concerns via the website, iPhone app, email or telephone. Citizen groups and government can then collaborate on resolving issues, which most frequently include litter, potholes, prostitution, graffiti, and unsafe intersections.
They will be giving specific examples and a live demonstration of the site at 7:00 PM at Pennsylvania Hospital, 8th and Spruce Street Auditorium.
Leaf Cleanup
The WSWCA is considering a street sweeping day in late fall, but requires volunteers to help with posting and removing signs. If you have a few hours to spare, please email us at info@washwestcivic.org.
For regular leaf pickup, the City no longer provides mechanical leaf collection service. This includes leaf blowers, mechanical sweepers and vacuums.
Beginning in the fall of 2009, leaves must be placed out in biodegradable brown paper bags alongside regular rubbish collections. Bagged leaves will be separated and composted. By using biodegradable bags, you will help crews work more efficiently and more easily identify your bags as leaves. Leaves set out in other bags or containers may be collected as rubbish. Landscapers and leaf cleaning services should remove and dispose of leaves privately.
