Evanston Offers Modern Way to Report a Problem
According to the City of Evanston's seasonal news magazine, "Highlights," residents can now report minor problems they spot around town via the internet and their smartphones.
It's a app called "See-Click-Fix" (found at www.cityofevanston.org/311). It is a free service to residents. Finally, something for FREE in Evanston! Hurrah!
The city has an account with the app provider, and monitors the postings that come in from Evanston to direct the problem to the correct city department: streets, forestry, etc.
No longer is it a hassle to report a treacherous pothole you narrowly avoided, a broken traffic signal,a tree branch that has fallen onto a busy street, and the like. So be a good citizen, pull out your smartphone or internet tablet, and "call it in."

The City of Evanston has announced a neat service that makes it far easier to report those minor annoyances that come into our life from time to time: a nasty pothole that just opened on your grocery shopping route, some irritating graffiti that was sprayed on your garage door last night, or that malfunctioning traffic light at a very busy intersection.
Instead of grumbling about it and hoping somebody else takes note of the problem, now all we have to do is pull out our smartphone or tablet, open the free application known as SeeClickFix, and send off the report. These reports are monitored and delivered to the appropriate city department: streets, forestry, recreation, etc.
The free app can be downloaded from this web address: cityofevanston.org/311
