SeeClickFix: New Resident Reporting Tool to Launch August 23 |
|
The Village of Glen Ellyn has partnered with SeeClickFix to implement a new platform that will allow citizens to report quality-of-life issues and request certain Village services. The new reporting tool is anticipated to launch Monday, August 23.
Residents can submit non-emergency requests for various items, such as potholes, parkway tree maintenance, signs, street lights, water issues and more. SeeClickFix uses your location data for the request. Once the request is received, it is routed to the appropriate Village department. Those that submit a request will receive updates on the status.
The new SeeClickFix platform replaces Glen Ellyn's former service request system, YourGOV.
The SeeClickFix mobile app is available for download on Android and iPhone. In addition to the mobile apps, citizens will be able to send reports via Glen Ellyn’s website or at seeclickfix.com. |
