INC NEWS - Durham Neighborhoods Encouraged to Schedule ComNet Survey

[Blalock, Amy]

Durham residents interested in serving as extra eyes for City government
now have their chance thanks to new technology designed to help the
community prioritize its immediate, street-level needs.

 

The City of Durham is debuting Computerized Neighborhood Environment
Tracking - or ComNet - that enables neighborhoods to use easily operated
handheld computers with digital cameras so that street level conditions,
such as pot holes, illegal dumping, weedy lots, litter and vacant
houses, can be quickly captured, recorded, and prioritized for action.
ComNET adds a new layer of citizen-government communication,
accountability, and citizen oversight.

 

Neighborhood groups interested in scheduling a ComNet survey in their
community should contact Jay Reinstein, manager with the City of
Durham's Office of Strategic Initiatives, at (919) 560-4222, extension
226 or by e-mail at Jay.Reinstein at durhamnc.gov.
