Residents already told you.
It’s a spreadsheet nobody can map.
Surveys collect hundreds of replies, and every location arrives as a sentence. Placehood puts each one on the map where it actually is, counts who agrees, and gives you a file you can rank.
Half an hour on a call, whenever suits you.
THE PROBLEM
WHAT A SURVEY GIVES YOU
The ranking column on the left is empty because a spreadsheet gives you no basis for filling it. Nothing in the file says how many people are affected.
Two ways to use it
The same map and the same export behind both. The difference is who raises the subject.
REPORTING MODE
Residents raise it
Potholes, crossings and damaged sidewalks, pinned where they actually are, then sorted and exported for whoever is responsible.
PLANNING MODE
You ask the question
Upload a plan as a map layer and set a date range. Residents react on the map rather than in a comment box nobody reads.
The file you walk away with
Nothing has to stay inside Placehood. Everything comes out as a spreadsheet, carrying a column your survey never had.
export.csv
| location | category | agree | affects | status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th & Lake | Bike lane or facility | 14 | cycling, walking | reviewing |
| School crossing, Oak St | Crosswalk improvement | 9 | walking, wheeling | planned |
| Bridge approach, north | Sidewalk repair | 6 | wheeling | new |
Illustrative rows. The agree column is what lets you sort the list.
