| An Everyday Urban Frustration: Issue #946126 |
Just last month, SeeClickFix processed 8,573 graffiti requests. The majority of them are handled in the manner of Issue # 946126. The reports are dispatched and the problems are fixed. Let's celebrate those who are keeping the trains running on time.
Thank you to the City of Albuquerque for fixing that issue and to the hundreds of other SeeClickFix partners who are responding every day.
