For any new signage requests you would have to write a letter to the board of police commissioners with your request and why then it goes through the proper process for approval.
We can not install any new signage with out approval.
The letter would be mailed to
300 congress st Bridgeport ct 06604
Thank you

I thought the purpose of this app was to present issues for the board of police commissioners to review so as to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy. The absence of a stop sign in this location is a public safety issue and should be pursued on behalf of our citizens/taxpayers. Thanks.

I thought the purpose of this app was to facilitate the identification of issues for the city to review in an attempt to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy. It seems the system needs to be streamlined on the city-side to eliminate the additional requirement of having to write a letter. Further, the absence of a stop sign in this location is a public safety concern and should be evaluated on behalf of our citizens/taxpayers.

CAO assigned this issue to Mayor's Office 2

Considering the fact that this app does not interact with City Boards and Commissions, you will have to put your request in writing and submit it to the Bridgeport Police Board of Commissioners at 300 Congress Street Bridgeport, CT. 06604. Thank you for your input on this issue. Your issue is now closed.

K?

Maybe this app should interact with the boards and commissions to be fully responsive to the highly taxed tax payers.

That is a very good point. Although this system does not address every single issue that a constituent may have, it does allow for direct communication between municipal government and city residents. In this case we are able to provide information and direction to those issues that are dealt with by the many different governing boards throughout the City of Bridgeport.

Once again, thank you for reporting this matter. Your issue is now closed.

RWW, I couldn't agree more. What's the point of having a site like this if all the city will do is defer the issue and put the burden (again) on the taxpayer? This was the press-release when the Mayor announced this app, “This Bridgeport 311 mobile app and web tool from SeeClickFix will be a powerful tool that enables Bridgeport residents to provide city departments with pictures, videos, specific descriptions, locations and more–valuable information needed to fix problems efficiently,” said Mayor Ganim. “This is another way in which technology will help our government run more effectively and much more transparently. In addition, the SeeClickFix platform provides our city government with a centralized issue management system to manage issues from creation to resolution–engaging Bridgeport citizens throughout the process and solving problems in a better, more thorough way.”

So far, it's not working if this thread is any indication of the city-side response.
