MyGlendale is the first stop for many city fixes
Glendale residents can use MyGlendale to report many non-emergency city concerns with a location, photo, and follow-up path, while police, freeway, utility, and urgent items may need a separate contact.
In Glendale, MyGlendale is the handy first stop for many everyday city concerns. It helps when a picture and a map point can explain the issue. Think potholes, signs, sidewalks, and other public works items.
The online request creates a work order and gives the city a way to follow up. On a phone, you can take a photo, choose a request type, and let the app use the photo location. That helps in a city with canyon streets, busy blocks, and older neighborhoods where “near my house” may not be enough.
Some Glendale issues have a different lane. Non-emergency police services use the police number on the report page. Freeway ramp work belongs to Caltrans. Some utility questions belong with Glendale Water and Power or another provider.
For a simple request, keep it short. Give the closest address or cross street. Say what changed. Say if the problem blocks walking, driving, drainage, or access. The clearer the first report is, the easier the handoff becomes.
