Coming together to make change, big or small.
Ideas is where Us members can propose ways to make life better, rally their neighbors, find leaders to champion popular ideas, and get them done.
Community input, built for this century.
Find ideas near you, back the ones you believe in, offer suggestions to make them better, or volunteer to lead the effort to implement them.
Install raised crosswalks at Lincoln Middle School
Championed by Maya R. · a neighbor driving it forward
Propose it. Rally support. Get it done.
Propose an idea
Share what your community needs. Tag it by topic and by place, so your potential allies can find it.
The community weighs in
Members back the ideas they support — or raise a reasoned concern. One member, one vote, free or paid.
Consensus earns a Champion
When an idea wins real support, a member can step up as its Champion — the neighbor who drives it forward.
Adapt it anywhere
A good idea from one place can be adapted for another, so we can build on each other's success.

Washington Ave by the middle school is genuinely dangerous at 3pm. The quickest win is raising the crosswalks at 15th first.

With you on safety — my worry is diverting car traffic onto California. Could we ensure we have a crossing guard there?

This would go perfectly with the planned Greenway. Happy to add the citation to the idea.

Disagree like neighbors.
Members can offer suggestions and express concerns. Discussions are designed to reward constructive contributions, not personal attacks. (There are plenty of other online forums for that.)
Built to serve voters, not insiders.
Your priorities
Use Ideas to move your issues forward, instead of letting bosses and lobbyists decide the agenda.
On your schedule
