Collaborate
Citizens can help you create more livable communities; they are begging for a way to share their insight about their neighborhoods with planners. Now, a collaboration map application expands your project website's capabilities.
Real-time Email Updates
You want to provide the flexibility for people to submit their ideas without jumping through hoops, right? Let's face it, we love instant results! Citizens will be able to see their remarks live but you will be notified instantly in case something offensive is submitted.

You want to highlight a community's assets: development, historic districts, and main streets. The public wants to show you what works and what doesn't in their community. An interactive map makes it possible.

Photographs provide context and can be very helpful in showing location-based information. Image files in gif, png, and jpeg can be uploaded and viewed inside the map balloon as well as enlarged to full size.
Comment Voting
Each comment can be voted up or down allowing good ideas to rise to the top. Comments are arranged on the page based on the number of votes it has received allowing you to differentiate feedback.
Community Feedback
Comments are collected around map topics you setup. For instance, your map could have a recommendations section, redevelopment section, and historic district section to collect specific types of information.

Community Remarks™ is an easy-to-use comment map to facilitate dialogue about land use such as redevelopment opportunities, the preservation of historic structures, community character, and zoning. Use it as an asset map, informal preference survey, and feedback platform.
