See, Click, and Fix!

The City of Durango has launched a new system to report issues in and around the city called SeeClickFix. The name is fairly self-explanatory – see something amiss, click a photo of the issue (e.g. a pothole on a busy road), and send it off to the City to fix. The process is meant to be more streamlined than the previous reporting tool the City used, and the hope is that it will be more user-friendly for everyone. By Hannah Robertson.
