The City of Poughkeepsie has announced a five-year capital improvements plan using a method known as "vaguebooking" on social media. Vaguebooking involves making intentionally vague posts to elicit responses from the audience. The city's post, which appeared on Facebook, announced a "five-year paving plan starting the first week of September" and mentioned support from the Common Council. However, it did not provide specific details about the plan, instead encouraging followers to "stay tuned for paving locations and other updates."
The approach aims to engage the community while addressing the need to improve street conditions across the city. The plan is part of a broader effort to enhance infrastructure in Poughkeepsie.
As the city prepares to begin the paving projects, residents are advised to monitor social media for further updates on specific locations and schedules. The use of vaguebooking is part of a trend where municipalities leverage social media to communicate with the public in innovative ways.
