At our February 15 Conversation, Michael Borg, Executive Director of the Department of Public Works sang the praises of using the Providence 311 app on your smart phone. He said he loved getting photos of problems like potholes tagged with the location provided by gps.
So, the question is, where do you get this app?
There are two options: 1) Go to http://www.providenceri.gov/ on your phone and select "PVD 311" on the Menu, or 2) go to the app store on your phone and search for "PVD 311".
The PVD311 system is a link to all city departments and services. So, once you have the app on your phone and see for example a pothole that you'd like to report, select "Submit New Request" and then "Streets & Sidewalks" and then "Road Repair."
On the next screen you will see a map with your location, if that is correct select "Next" or type in the correct location and select "Next."
On the next screen you can add a photo, create an account (to track the request), select whether or not to make the request public, and finally "Submit Request."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – Mayor Jorge Elorza used part of his State of the City address this week to tout progress on Providence’s short-term finances but also warn that the city still needs to address its massive unfunded liabilities for retirees. And he wasn’t just being cute with his words.
So how is it possible report budget surpluses while also staring down billions of dollars in long-term problems?
Here’s a cheat sheet that might help explain things.
