They understand that in today’s world, connectivity affects every aspect of and part of a community – whether in municipal operations, education, healthcare, or public safety. Today, this infrastructure also plays a crucial role in economic development and will be pivotal in the future as an enabler of long-term sustainability. Over the past years, San Leandro has taken several steps to ensure the availability of affordable high-speed broadband. The City has distinguished itself as a leader through its Smart City and public Wi-Fi initiatives, provided internet to organizations in need by connecting schools and non-profits through Lit San Leandro, and demonstrated its commitment to further endeavors by commissioning this Plan. All of these actions have enabled San Leandro to be ahead of the curve in planning for the best interests of the community, its residents, its stakeholders, and the continued growth of the City. The model presented here provides the City with a plan to enhance its 21st century fiber- optic network, and a framework to begin utilizing these assets for the benefit of the greater community, providing new dark fiber and perhaps lit services to community anchors, businesses, and partnering providers. Ultimately, it will be up to San Leandro’s leaders, innovators, and its community to bring this vision to fruition. The time, efforts, resources, and investments necessary to execute these plans are not small; they require a long-term dedication, a shared purpose, and perseverance through any roadblocks and challenges that may come along. Ultimately, however, this dedication will be met with the many benefits that such prudent investments bring across San Leandro’s community. When these are considered, the way ahead is clear: an investment in this infrastructure is a smart investment in the future of San Leandro.
