Evanston has become the first city in Illinois, and possibly, the United States, to offer vehicle owners the opportunity to contest parking citations online. Vehicle owners can plead their cases from the comfort of their own homes and during their spare time. Alleged parking "violators" can find the link to an online form to contest their parking citations under "Services" on the new City of Evanston home page, www.cityofevanston.org. The form requires the completion of personal information and features a field at the bottom of the page where vehicle owners can state their cases or request in-person hearings. The Hearings Division will email back to vehicle owners, often within a week, a written judgment to their contest, saving them the time, anxiety and travel costs of appearing in-person.

  • High-Tech and ICT Startup Density Dane Stangler
    PATH-DEPENDENT STARTUP HUBS Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density Dane Stangler Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation 0 PATH-DEPENDENT STARTUP HUBS Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density Dane Stangler Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation September 2013 © 2013 by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. All rights reserved. 1 PATH-DEPENDENT STARTUP HUBS Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density Regional entrepreneurship ecosystems, aka startup communities, are being studied and touted as the next new thing in economic development for cities and metropolitan areas across the country—especially in the high-technology and information technology (ICT) sectors. And for good reason. According to a report by Ian Hathaway of Engine that looked closely at the dynamism of the high-tech and ICT sectors in the United States, particularly new and young companies,1 these are the firms that create jobs at the fastest pace and are important drivers of economic growth. Hathaway’s paper included a list of the top metropolitan areas by startup density in these two sectors. The Appendix included this density information for metropolitan areas for 1990 and 2010. Using these appendix tables, I took a closer look at the relative performance of metropolitan areas over the past twenty years in terms of high- tech entrepreneurship. Specifically, I was interested in answering the following questions: What metropolitan areas saw the biggest increases or decreases in high-tech startup density? What did relative performance look like by different-sized MSAs? Were the top metro areas identified by Hathaway for 2010 the same as in 1990? This exploration suggests several interesting observations, some of which challenge commonly held beliefs: Many areas currently considered “new” startup hubs actually have either a history of strong technology sectors or experienced strong growth among technology startups over the past two decades.
