Citizen complaint of the day update: BPD makes sure McDonald's truck doesn't block downtown street

See? Plenty of room on Tremont

The peeved citizen who repeatedly complained about the McDonald's delivery truck blocking West Street early every Friday sent a shoutout this morning to the BPD officer in cruiser 1145 who forced the driver to turn onto Tremont Street to keep West clear. Granted, he let the driver pull onto the one-way Tremont the wrong way, but baby steps, people.

"Thank you for making my morning commute a good one," enthused our citizen, no longer having to detour around the short street at 5:45 a.m.

Citizens connect is getting better. Sometimes now instead of closing a case with two words they'll actually say who they talked to and what action was taken. There are still a number of cases where they mark something as resolved but, as far as I can tell, nothing was done, but I've also started seeing some graffiti disappear.

Citizens connect still doesn't have all of the features of a real ticketing system (or at least they aren't visible to citizens) - if a case is a duplicate they can give you the other case number but they can't link to the case. You can't set a priority. You can't reopen a case that hasn't actually been resolved or post any further comments after you've submitted it. But its a good start.

. . . getting very upset at that intersection yesterday afternoon- with traffic backed up- was badgering a BPD cop on duty there- and the cop got a little exasperated and kept asking the driver- "what do you want me to do sir? What would have me do sir?" (and there was nothing he could do really.) Got a chuckle out of people passing by. The driver was being a pest from where I stood.
