About This Pilot

New Orleans has 311. Nobody trusts it and nothing is visible to the community. This tool makes the complaints public and trackable on a map the neighborhood owns. Drop a pin on the abandoned house across the street. Upload a photo of the pothole that has been there since last winter. Describe the flooding that happens every time it rains. The data stays. The map grows. The neglect becomes undeniable.

Potential partners: NORA (New Orleans Redevelopment Authority), neighborhood associations, city council members. Anyone who wants the data the community already has in their heads but has no tool to collect.
