OpenOakland ReWrite Ideas

← Tell Us Your Ideas!

We want you to tell us the questions you have for the City that you cannot find online: on the city website or in general. Information that is confusing or out of date, things that seem to be missing.
We will work on answers to all these questions on June 1 at the ReWrite Oakland event and in the future for the tougher ones. All these questions will be answered on a new, simple website for the City of Oakland we will be building as a community!
If you would like to join us for a day of civic action we invite you attend on June 1st as we spend a day together working on good answers to all these questions and more! ReWriteOakland.eventbrite.com

What questions do you need answered from the city website?

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
