Report potholes, get the city to respond.<br /> <br /> They tried the same concept in Ottawa, with a branch in Montréal, but it&#039;s not really taking off. http://fixmystreet.ca/<br /> <br /> Now CAA is doing it, why couldn&#039;t they have worked with fixmystreet? It&#039;s already there, people invested, that would have meant something. Instead they stole the idea.<br /> <br /> I think that concept and the nanny services is past its date, it&#039;s time for letsfixourstreet, where people good at fixing streets who live on a block can grab a shovel. A lot faster, less expensive. The city can certify the work. Over time reliable networks will form, if we end up with a transparent public infrastructure, where a 14 or 80 year old is looking at the same numbers a city worker is, and all the puzzle pieces are there, it will really be a transformation. Eventually locals will be installing kinetic and solar energy generators on their street.<br /> <br /> http://www.hour.ca/news/brief.aspx?iIDArticle=19603<br /> <br /> [[category:advocacy]]</div>
