A civic project for Redding, California
Your street. Your city. Your report.
Spot a pothole on your way to school or work? Report it in 30 seconds. See what your neighbors are reporting. Watch the city fix it.
How civic engagement works here
A real-world example of local government in action — built for 12th-grade American Government students.
1. Report
Drop a pin on the map, snap a photo, rate the severity. Takes 30 seconds.
2. Upvote
Your neighbors back the reports they want fixed first — direct democracy at the street level.
3. Track repairs
City officials update status from Reported → Acknowledged → In Progress → Fixed.
From the classroom to City Hall
This app turns an abstract civics lesson into something students can hold in their hand. Every report is a petition. Every upvote is a vote. Every status change is bureaucracy made visible.
