Free Wifi in 6 Outdoor Public Spaces ($42,000) - winner!

Public space outside 4 Youth Centers, the Golf Course, and Water Department

Install special outdoor wifi access points to offer free public wifi in the public space surrounding the Area IV, Frisoli, Gately, and Moore Youth Centers, as well as the Fresh Pond Golf Course and Cambridge Water Department.

Right now, these locations only have outside coverage that is overflow from inside the building, so it’s not necessarily reliable or consistent. IT staff would install special access points (specifically made for outside coverage) at the above locations and define the zone where the public can access free wifi. This would not be full coverage of any one Center’s public outside space, but it would increase the reach of free public wifi for community members who use the youth centers, play on the golf course, and walk near the Water Department.
