they provided the website but never guarenteed it would work. maybe thats part of the plan is to have residents fix the site at "no cost to the city" according to Keene.

Shameless incompetence on the part of overpaid bureaucrats.

Pretty close - only one street off. I suggest the City open a competition between Gunn & Paly students to design and produce Palo Alto's next assault on the web.

The "geographic" selection enticed me until I saw it was just

Google Maps and Street Maps all over again.

I fully expected, given the fanfare, that we were going to be

given access to the CPA GIS database.

I would like to create a neighborhood map of our neighborhood

but not yet I see.

Do you think the city is going to fix the issues you raised?

Y'all being used for crowd-sourced debugging.

Hi,

Thank you for the comments regarding the Open Data site. It is incorrectly linked in the article and I've notified the editor. The correct link is: Web Link.

We hope you take the opportunity to explore the available data sets (linked at the bottom of the page) and your feedback is always welcomed. Also, feel free to contact the City of Palo Alto directly with requests for additional data sets. They are truly working hard to engage with the community to improve transparency, collaboration, and services.

Best,

John C. Tran

Senior Marketing Manager

Another flawed outsourced city project costing Palo Alto taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thanks go out to city manager Keene and city council members!
