But, I'm surprised its as basic as this, and barely informative. The chart doesn't indicate what unit of measure its using, so I can only assume that we've spent a grand total of $844.10 dollars on these projects. I hope the city can build this site out bigger and better. There's a lot of valuable information in all of the databases across the city I'm sure, and this would be an awesome landing page/portal (I hate the word portal) for finding it all, in respect to how we're using the recovery budget to repair our city. PS: fix our streets, for real... talk about a shovel ready project...
