The deputy commissioner confirms there is an ongoing project to upgrade the geolocating feature in the NYC 311 app to allow accurate pin drop location.

The deputy commissioner states projects have goals and timelines but does not want to risk providing inaccurate information. He promises to follow up with the council member on the project timeline.

I wanna move on to the geolocating I that's an easy one.
1:08:41
That's why I'm co sponsored with counselor Keith Powers.
1:08:45
You said that is being worked on?
Joe Morrisroe
1:08:48
Yep.
1:08:48
There's a project that is looking at how do we upgrade it.
1:08:54
And specifically, I'll describe it as the end result being that you can have an accurate pin drop location.
Eric Dinowitz
1:09:01
Right.
1:09:02
And what's the timeline of it?
Joe Morrisroe
1:09:03
I don't have the timeline.
1:09:04
I know it's an ongoing plan.
1:09:06
I I don't have the timeline at this point, something we didn't get back to you on?
Eric Dinowitz
1:09:09
Yeah.
1:09:10
I mean, have you set have you as deputy commissioner or as commissioner set goals for goals for it, whether they're met or not, have you set a goal for when you want users to be able to drop that pin?
Joe Morrisroe
1:09:22
We we have projects and each project has a goal and a timeline, I'm I would be risking giving you a wrong answer if I try to answer that right now.
1:09:30
Yeah.
1:09:30
Something I would get back to.
Eric Dinowitz
1:09:31
And they were sworn in.
1:09:32
Right?
1:09:32
That would be like perjury.
1:09:33
We don't want that.
1:09:34
Thank you.
1:09:35
So, yes, please please please get back to me.
1:09:38
I mean, this is this is one of the the bigger ones again.
