Rocking the DC Public Works GIS.

Color me impressed. I've seen pedestrian signs or streetlights out and thought to my self "aren't we living in a time when citizens could be leveraged to submit and track things like this with the appropriate departments? I bet they just have a guy driving around in a truck looking for burned out bulbs." Well I just requested a bulk trash pickup without picking up the phone and with out speaking to a single person. Not only that, but the DC government provides access to all the requests submitted by citizens, so you can tell what's going on where and why its taking so long to address your concern. Much better than I was expecting guys. And your data warehouse is pretty substantial too. Good job!
