Remarks

Dinowitz argues GPS location will make 311 more responsive

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 0:07:24 · 40 sec

Dinowitz shares more examples of constituents struggling to describe locations, including a blocked sewer and Bell Tower Park sidewalk, and says precise GPS capability would make 311 more efficient and responsive.

Eric Dinowitz

There are obviously more cases in my office alone.

Eric Dinowitz

Each of us in the council has dealt with similar issues.

Eric Dinowitz

Countless New Yorkers who haven't called our offices have dealt with this issue time and again.

Eric Dinowitz

As New Yorkers, we deserve a more responsive and efficient experience with our government.

Eric Dinowitz

If 311 is the vehicle by which New Yorkers address their quality of life concerns, we must ensure that it is as efficient and responsive to the needs of our constituents as possible.

Eric Dinowitz

Adding precise GPS location ability would allow for that to happen.

Eric Dinowitz

Intro 173 would allow for that to happen.

Eric Dinowitz

Thank you, Chair.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Thank you.
