Installed node example · Waldo / South KC

Local signal, then neighbor action.

This is the Waldo neighborhoodOS node: a working civic dashboard for 311 requests, council and county sources, plans, budgets, development breadcrumbs, and the next useful thing a neighbor can do.

These are live public records from DataKC. The buttons below are real filters on loaded rows, not stage props. Waldo-only geofencing depends on the fields DataKC returns in-browser, so the page labels this honestly.

01 / Wedge

How the node earns trust.

NeighborhoodOS is not trying to be another civic portal. The wedge is smaller and sharper: take messy public signal, explain what changed, and help a neighbor do one useful thing before the window closes.

Step 01

See what changed

311 spikes, agenda items, county hearings, development notices, budget changes, and repeated neighborhood patterns.

Step 02

Understand why it matters

Plain-language summaries, deadlines, district context, who controls the decision, and what is city vs county.

Step 03

Do something useful

File a better request, attend the right meeting, email the right office, organize neighbors, or turn a repeat problem into an agent template.

02 / Actions

Resident action queue.

Report a city issue

Use myKCMO to file or track a 311 request. Good for trash, potholes, missed pickup, streetlights, nuisance, and city-service issues.

Open 311

Read the next council packet

Go straight to the legislation portal before meetings. NeighborhoodOS can later summarize agenda items, but the source is here today.

Open council

Check county decisions

County work affects assessments, budgets, health, courts, and services. This link opens the county legislature source.

Open county

Watch development

Planning and zoning cases are where deadlines matter. Start at the city planning source while live case parsing gets built.

Open planning

Follow the money

Budgets are where values stop giving speeches and start writing checks. Use this for city budget books and finance updates.
