Why eGov? In Shaker Heights, for businesses and residents

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 01/14/2005 - 18:48.

 

Shaker Heights is the most effective suburban NEO virtual community I've found - their website has excellent ICE (Information Communications Effectiveness), and by registering you receive valuable up-to-date insight from City Hall, ranging from information on their sustainable development initiatives, changes to trash pick-up schedules, and today notice of a new "Farmers Market" now providing residents access to locally grown and produced food and crafts - now featured each Saturday in their redevelopment area - Shaker Towne Center - read on and consider how communities working together are better for everyone!

City of Shaker Heights

SHAKER HEIGHTS E-GOV AND FARMER'S MKT

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Fri, 01/14/2005 - 21:22.

As a resident of Shaker,  I can vouch for the convenience and advantage of communicating by email with your government.  In the last year I have had communications with Shaker regarding:  their dumping snow piles near the Shaker Lakes, whether or not Shaker had a community cable channel (they don’t),   building code/home inspection issues,  dousing Horseshoe lake with a bogus tax paid for  “bacterial activator�,  Shaker Square security,  and other topics. 

I received a response on all issues, but for about ½ of them I had to rattle the email cage a few times before I got an answer.

But, If I had had to write a letter, I would not have pursued but a small percentage of these civic communications.
