City of Arlington Launching New Website
this February
Street Tracker: Introducing a
Mobile Friendly Website for
Residents
The City of Arlington has launched a regular
Street Tracker segment on MyArlingtonTV
to provide transparency and up-to-date
information on both current and proposed
street maintenance and construction projects.
This month’s episode highlights how the
City is putting technology to work to offer
residents a more mobile-friendly Street
Tracker webpage. While the page has been
live since 2015, City staff has made significant
improvements to make the site easier to use
and navigate using your smart phone devices.
Residents can learn more about water,
drainage and roadway projects currently
under construction throughout Arlington
using the interactive Street Tracker map. This
tool, which is now optimized for Apple and
Android mobile devices, integrates live data
so that up-to-date project information is
available at all times. You can also see contact
information for these projects and the current
status of the work being done throughout The
American Dream City.
Residents can visit Arlington’s Street
Tracker webpage at www.arlingtontx.gov/
streettracker. The site features an interactive
map, project list, videos, a news feed featuring
the latest information on street construction
and contact information for residents to
report street problems, such as potholes, that
they find in Arlington.
The City’s Office of Communication develops
programming for MyArlingtonTV. Viewers
can find MyArlingtonTV programs on the
following cable systems: Spectrum Channel
16 and AT&T U-Verse channel 99, and
streaming capabilities at www.arlington-tx.
gov. All episodes are also available on the
City’s YouTube channel, Facebook page and
Twitter account.
Those who visit the City of Arlington’s website, www.ArlingtonTX.
gov, in the coming weeks will have an easier time finding news,
community events and other important information about living,
learning and doing business in The American Dream City.
The Arlington City Council approved a contract with CivicLive to
redesign the City’s website in March 2018. The updated site, which
has a more responsive search feature and places more emphasis
on City news, aims to provide an enhanced, user-friendly
experience for residents, visitors, businesses and stakeholders of
Arlington.
“
“Our goal is to stay on the front edge of
technology by providing an innovative,
userfriendly website that will make it easier for
residents to interact with their government and
increase their engagement,” said Jay Warren,
director of Communication and Legislative Affairs.
“For us, this project is all about improving the
interactions our residents, visitors and businesses
have with Arlington.”
