Less “we should”. More “we did”.

The pedestrian crossing has been there for six months. In the meeting minutes.

A neighbourhood group wants to turn a line in the minutes into a documented request to city hall. Follow its decision and see how it checks that the request was filed.

  1. 01 / 05

    Raise the concern

    Residents raise a concern about crossing near the school and assess how urgently the group should act.

  2. 02 / 05

    Compare arguments and vote

    Members compare possible locations and discuss who would benefit. They propose submitting a documented request to city hall for the preferred location. Eligible members vote under the group’s rules.

  3. 03 / 05

    Someone takes it on

    After the proposal passes, the administrator records the next step and a target date. A member agrees to prepare and submit the request.

  4. 04 / 05

    Report progress

    Daria finds the exact street number required by the form, submits the request to City Hall and records the update.

  5. 05 / 05

    Another member confirms

    Another member checks the city hall acknowledgement and confirms that the request was filed. That completes the group’s step. City hall will decide what happens with the proposed crossing.
