News & Notes: New app for residents to announce issues in Princeton

A new smartphone app called Access Princeton was created to allow Princeton residents to report and track non-emergency incidents in the town such as downed trees, broken parking meters and potholes, according to The Times of Trenton.

The app allows users to raise concerns and upload photos on the spot.

Although the app is new, Access Princeton was a department created in August so users could call to report problems in lieu of filing reports on the town’s website and police department Facebook page. The department reports issues through SeeClickFix, software also launched during Community Night last month for communicating issues to town members.

Since Aug. 5, about 118 issues have been reported through SeeClickFix. The app also enables the town to see the response times of crews responding to issues. Since August, the average time to acknowledge the problem was 24 hours and two days to address the complaint.

A grand opening ceremony will be held Sept. 18 at noon in front of Monument Hall to launch the app.
