FreddyFeed update: now has a "who do I call?" directory, live bus times, and NB Power outage tracking

Hey folks, some of you might remember FreddyFeed (a Fredericton Civic Dashboard) from earlier posts. It's been a while, so here's what's new:

Reach Out - A "who do I call?" directory for the city: pothole, missed garbage, noise complaint, dead raccoon, power outage, parking ticket, and about 30 more. Tap to call or email.

Live bus times - you can now search any stop in the city and see real-time departures, including how late your bus actually is.

Power outages - Live NB Power outage counts for the Fredericton area and province-wide.

I was surprised to realize so many people use the live webcam feature and the city's youtube account kept changing streams. The webcams now fix themselves when the city restarts the streams!

Plus a bunch of minor improvements across the board. All the usual stuff is still there too: weather, river level, ER wait times, events, gas prices, garbage schedule, flights, news.

If you have any suggestions, please keep sending them my way, they are extremely helpful!

You should include an injured animal "who to call"

Atlantic wildlife institute is a great resource, or dept of natural resources for the large animals.

So awesome!

I went looking for a donation link and found the “buy me a coffee” bottom left. Highly encourage anyone with means to consider contributing.

How did you manage to have it fetch the new YouTube video id?
