users may not notice elements currently above, below councilmember

[techieshark]

Currently when a user enters an address, or selects a location from the map, they may see something like this:

The page immediately jumps there and some users have assumed that was the entirety of the page content; they didn't think that there might still be the map above and the agenda items below this part. We should fix this.

Implementation thoughts:

• @wendyfongsf suggested tightening up some of the whitespace and trying to make the section below more visible
• @buckleytom suggested the possibility of adding a "more info below" button that scrolls you down.
• @maya and @alsomanya suggested using things like a sidebar for the councilmember or a modal with their info.

• @techieshark wonders if some smooth scrolling and/or some in-page navigation elements like the prev/next buttons on this webgl geometric tunnel could help

  @ardouglass if you want to tackle this, that'd rock. Otherwise I can take a stab at it sometime (unless Tom wants it).

@wendyfongsf also provided this mockup of what an improvement might look like:

Also, note the padding -- smaller images means we need tighter spacing. Thx, @wendyfongsf.

@techieshark This would be my suggestion... Put the council info in a sidebar, so you can see the issues upfront, and people can view council info off to the side.

Interesting. Thanks, @maya! What would it look like on a tablet or phone?

@techieshark you would have to decide what piece of content is most important for the user to see and put that first.
