Description
The town is undertaking a multi million dollar project to improve a section of pleasant street. Such information should be accessible to the public on the town's new website. A lot of tax dollars are being spent here, but no one is informed as to what is exactly happening.
I searched the website, but the only information on this project that i could find were the tender results, and a notice that there will be work being done in the area.
It would be nice if the town could put up a description of the work being done, some blueprints/plans of the project, and maybe an artists rendering of the completed project, if available.
It would be great to see a section on the website which shows upcoming, current, and future public works projects where the public could see the great things you are doing with their money.

The drawing showing the details of the work being undertaken is being uploaded today. It will be an attachment to the tender award notice.
We have requested a more detailed work schedule from the contractor, for the benefit of everyone affected by the work.

Hi Jeff,
I took a look at what Annapolis royal has done. It is a simple table. I hope it will be possible to have a more comprehensive page for the town of Yarmouth, where the public can also see a description, plans (blueprints), artist's rendering of the completed project, ...
Thanks for your consideration,
Jamie

Hi Jeff,
This looks really good.
Is it also possible for you to add more detailed information under the "more info" page?
It would be nice to see the blueprints/plans of the project, and maybe an artists rendering of the completed project, if available.
Great work,
Jamie

Hi Jeff,
It would be nice if you could render the locations with different markersymbols. that way, the user can have a better overview.
green marker for completed projects.
yellow marker for projects under construction.
red marker for upcoming projects.
Is the application able to handle any "upcoming projects" at all? I do not see any on the map.
Regards,
Jamie

Jamie,
I've submitted information on a few more projects this weekend, including upcoming projects. Those should show up in the next few days. We were planning to use different symbols..but had not worked out a scheme. Your suggestion makes sense.
We rarely have artist renderings prepared, but plans should be able to be linked, as well as tender information.
Our plan is to post projects as soon as they are either sent for design work, or approved in our budget. As more items get posted, we'll remove completed projects.
