How many requests have Clevelanders made to the 311 hotline?

The sun is finally punching through the clouds (for the most part), and Cleveland is absolutely glowing. From Edgewater picnics to Little Italy strolls, we’re leaning into summer — and what better way to tap into that hometown energy than flexing your civic smarts?

This week, we’re dialing into a new tool meant to make Cleveland work better for all of us: 311. The city recently launched this non-emergency hotline, and it’s already buzzing. Reporter Najee Hall broke down how it works in a recent explainer, but your friendly quiz writer got curious: Just how many requests have been made since the hotline launched?

And that’s just the start. We’re also asking if you caught how much money the Strong Ohio Communities Coalition raised to back Issue 2 during the May primary. Did you hear what a federal appeals court had to say about Cleveland Water customers’ lawsuit against the city? Oh — and speaking of big decisions — do you know how much of a raise CMSD CEO Warren Morgan just received?

So grab a lemonade (or a cold brew), find a shady spot, and see how well you’ve been paying attention to your city. Then, forward it to a friend — because civic pride is more fun when you share it.

Let’s get quizzical, Cleveland.
