It looks a helluva lot better than the one that was there before.

Looks much more professional and appealing. My only concern is will they maintain it or allow it to become out of date?

Does it provide separate links to the Mayor's 60+ friends and family members on the site who are City employees? I was hoping to save a little time when writing a few letters ;)

I like it. That last design was elementary and didn't look professional.

I like it...I like the orange...it looks modern and clean.

There are not any events listed in the "Events" section, though...that is not good.

It is nicer than the old one, but where is the email address for the Mayor? I want to send him a comment, and want to email it. But I did not see an email address on the "Contact the Mayor" page, just the snail mail address.

it's marginally better...the city needs to update the skyline photo though - too ominous and uninviting. a nice daytime shot would help show some vibrancy.

Has anyone gotten the city services link to work? I keep trying to punch in my address to get my bulk pickup schedule and after sitting for like 5 minutes it comes back and says my street name or direction is wrong, and gives me a few hundred blank alternatives to choose from, all of which do nothing when selected.

You have to send a text message directly to Hizzoner.

If you send him a naughty text message you will get a faster response. ;-)

[ and no, I did not try that! ]

I have found that my old links don't work and the pages don't appear to work.

Where's that number we can text Kwame at?

Blight violations link does not work. We have had a car sitting on rims in the front yard down the street on Strathcona at Suffolk in PW for over one year. Does anyone know the proper number to contact. I just keep getting shifted from one department to another. This looks terrible.

The ONCR link worked fine for me. With the new website you may have to go the home page and update your links
