On Sunday, May 21st , BP Oddo hosted Kids Day at the Carousel in Willowbrook Park. Kids and their families got to ride the Carousel for all Children for free. In addition, the event featured inflatable attractions, chalk art, crafts, photo spots and music.

The Staten Island Zoo presented animals from their educational unit, and the NYPL hosted story time for the younger children. Additional sponsors included Barnes & Noble and Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC. Over a thousand people attended the event.

“It’s great to see families out enjoying a day in the park together,” noted BP Oddo.

We are excited to announce BP Assist, the new mobile app for smart phones that allows Staten Island residents and visitors to quickly and efficiently report quality-of-life issues, such as potholes, litter, graffiti and much, much more. Reports made will be instantly transmitted to the Borough President's Help Line, and then directed to the appropriate agency for remedial action. It also gives users access to Staten Island specific information, including upcoming events, the ferry schedule, and important phone numbers. Downloading the app will allow you to receive notifications about emergencies, traffic conditions, and other important issues. For more information, visit statenislandusa.com/bpassist or download it from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.

In addition to the ease of reporting issues and being able to snap a photo of the condition and send it, the app will also update the data collection system used by the Help Line staff and help the Borough President see trends and recommend improvements across city agencies.

Don’t have a smartphone? No problem, the Help Line is still available at (718) 816-2000 or you can use a version of the app right on our web site at www.statenislandusa.com/bpassist

Happy reporting!

Borough Hall is seeking new, innovative ways to help Staten Island residents. In addition to the Borough President’s help Line, BP James Oddo is weighing the benefits of a mobile app to accept and filter constituent quality-of-life issues. New Haven-based SeeClickFix gave a demo at Borough Hall and has the ability to design a Staten Island-specific mobile application that would permit borough residents to report problems in real-time on their smart phones.
