public Wi-Fi expansion

Goal 1 Accessible

Delivered FY 2013/14

Expanding access to city services to anyone, at any time, from anywhere (responsive, accessible, and mobile) is a primary mission of the City’s Digital Strategy which focuses on delivering simple and clear ways to get city services. Key strategies for improved access are listed here:

Provide more services from multiple IT channels
Expand Education Offerings To Staff and the Public
Ensure technology Investments are leveraged
Open up our IT resources to the public

Project Overview: In alignment with the City’s Digital strategy this initiative provides Free Public Access Wi-Fi Services at a number of our Community Centers for City of Sacramento residents. It leverages existing IT investments and provides expanded access for the community. The following sites will be completed in June 2014.

Hagginwood Community Center, Council District 2
Coloma Community Center, Council District 6
Hart Senior Center, Council District 4
Oak Park Community Center, Council District 5
Belle Coolidge Community Center, Council District 5
Sam Pannell Community Center, Council District 8
South Natomas Community Center, Council District 3
