Fiber-Optic Network Expansion, Upgrade & Repair (ongoing)

Construction site for burying fiber-optic cables

Project purpose

Expanding the fiber-optic network will provide access to key locations that are currently not served. Fiber-optic connections provide network access, security control, video connections, and traffic signal control. In addition to new facilities, some of the existing fiber-optic systems are over 25 years old and in need of upgrades and repairs.

Project description

Over the past 25 years fiber-optic cable has been installed with various projects and through various funding sources to develop an extensive network throughout the city. The network now has a loop around the city, and most of the major facilities are connected, but several locations remain unserved.

This project will provide dedicated funding for fiber to key unserved areas, replacement of outdated facilities and equipment, and upgrades to the fiber-optic network where needed.

Specific projects are identified annually.
