Tell the City what’s wrong!

Want to help San Francisco improve its image? Mayor Ed Lee just might be willing to listen. In April, Mayor Lee launched ImproveSF, a city sponsored website where residents can post suggestions on how to improve the city’s many problems.

From time to time, Mayor Lee and other city officials will post to the site different city problems that need fixing. Site visitors will get to post suggestions on how to fix the problems, and will get to vote on the best user suggested solutions.

“With shrinking budgets and increasing demand on City services, ImproveSF allows us to engage the creative and entrepreneurial people of our City to help make it work better, smarter and more efficient,” said Mayor Lee. “By embracing innovation, we make San Francisco the ‘Innovation Capital of the World,’ and celebrate and reward the incredible talent and ideas that are fostered here.”

In April, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency asked site visitors to pick the agency’s new colors and new logo. San Francisco designers, art students and graphic artists participated in the color/logo selection. The next city problem will be up on the site soon. People can visit the city site at www.improvesf.com.
