Want That Pothole Fixed? There's an App for That

Are you sick and tired of driving over the same pothole day after day and wish you could somehow let the city know where it is and that they need to fix it?

The City of Canton Public Works Department has adopted a mobile app called SeeClickFix that will allow Canton residents to tell the department about non-emergency issues such as potholes or street signs that need to be repaired.

The app is available for free from the iPhone Store, Android Market and Blackberry App World. For residents without smart phones, problems can still be reported by using the online functionality of the software.

Residents can describe the problem in detail, provide the exact location and even upload photographs. All of this information will go straight to City Hall, and residents will be informed via e-mail when the report is received and when the problem is resolved. Users can also track the progress of their reports.

Please remember that this application should be used for non-emergency situations only. For emergency situations, the city asks that you continue to call 911.
