The \u2018Vote on Ideas\u2019 feature is part of the city\u2019s continuing efforts to engage the community through new channels of communication. The RecoverySF Online Discussion is a web application that allows the public to submit and vote on ideas for specific topics related to the American Recovery &#038; Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The goal is to harness the collective intelligence of San Franciscans to help shape local ARRA investments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProviding residents with tools that leverage the wisdom of our community is an exciting opportunity for San Francisco to continue its long tradition of innovation and creativity,\u201d said Mayor Newsom. \u201cWith this collaborative pilot with the public, we are making a difference by utilizing simple and zero-cost tools to better compete for and allocate ARRA funding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The technology platform being used allows residents to submit ideas, discuss and refine others&#8217; ideas, and vote for the best. The City will provide specific topics related to ARRA that will help focus the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>The first discussion question is: What ideas, tools, programs and approaches can help expand broadband access and adoption in underserved areas, expand the capacity of public computing centers and improve access to broadband by public safety agencies?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDealing with the paramount issues at hand requires direct participation and partnership with our community,\u201d said Kyri McClellan, Mayor Newsom\u2019s Stimulus Czar. \u201cSan Francisco understands this and is piloting a new avenue for public discourse. We encourage everyone to participate in these discussions to help promote creative solutions to the daunting challenges and opportunities we face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To view the new features go to:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/apps.sfgov.org\/recoverysf_discussion\/\">http:\/\/apps.sfgov.org\/recoverysf_discussion\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*** PRESS RELEASE *** RECOVERYSF LAUNCHES \u2018VOTE ON IDEAS\u2019 FEATURE TO THE PUBLIC http:\/\/apps.sfgov.org\/recoverysf_discussion\/ San Francisco\u2014Today RecoverySF.org launched a new pilot feature that allows the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4-San-Francisco","tag-san-francisco"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluoz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
