Online: We The Sweeple #704

We The Sweeple is a web app that provides a free street sweeping alert system and searchable calendar for Chicagoans who want to avoid getting ticketed. Users enter an address to see when sweepers are due on their block, and then can either download a calendar file or sign up for email reminders. The site, which runs on data sourced from the Chicago Data Portal, was created in 2011 by Scott Robbin (as SweepAround.Us) and is now maintained by volunteers Carl Hauck and Kat Evans.
