Wake Forest officials are urging residents to use SeeClickFix to report street light outages as soon as they notice them.
Residents often express their frustrations about street lights not working for extended periods of time. Officials say town crews cannot repair a faulty street light, unless they know about it. By reporting the outage immediately through SeeClickFix, citizens can help ensure a prompt resolution to the problem.
The town introduced SeeClickFix in 2014 as a simple, yet effective way for residents to report quality of life, non-emergency issues. Since then, the Town has addressed hundreds of citizens’ concerns, ranging from damaged sidewalks and potholes to graffiti and malfunctioning traffic signals.
Wake Forest’s SeeClickFix website is available at www.wakeforestnc.gov/report-a-problem.aspx<http://www.wakeforestnc.gov/report-a-problem.aspx>, while the mobile platform is offered as a function on the Town app.
By utilizing the online or mobile reporting platform, residents can report non-emergency issues (damaged sidewalks, street light outages, graffiti, potholes, etc.) through a variety of service request categories. When submitting such issues, residents can provide locational, descriptive and photographic information as they see the issue in real time. Once the resident submits an issue, the reporter, the Town, and anyone “watching” the area receives an alert. The Town then acknowledges the service request, routes it to the proper department, and updates the request – along with residents following the issue – once it’s been resolved.
