See, Click, Fix

SeeClickFix.com is an interesting website, created with the goal of increasing citizenship, empowering citizens, and providing a forum for problem-solving. It's not really active in Waterbury--a few problems have been reported, but I'm not sure anyone knows about it. It seems to be much more active in New Haven. The website has partnered with the New Haven Register to help publicize the problems identified by citizens. It looks like a few reported problems have been addressed directly by the city through the site, while others are handled off-site, with the person who reported the problem taking on the responsibility of posting the follow-up to the site.
