See-Click-Fix

I heard about a website on NPR a few days ago called SeeClickFix. The premise of the website is to have us (you and me) be able to document infrastructure issues, and then have them fixed by our local government. What a fabulous idea! Here is the very first sentence on their "about us" page:
"SeeClickFix encourages residents to become citizens by participating in taking care of and improving their neighborhoods."
With this being all about advanced citizenship, how can I not get behind this?

I'm going to give it a shot by documenting and submitting a deteriorating seam between two streets near me. As the saying goes... the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I will let you know how it turns out.
