Statement from Councilman Nowakowski on Phoenix’s Public Wi-Fi Expansionhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/district-7/1550City Council District 710/5/2020 7:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/1550/Newsroom_Council_Statement_07.jpgStatement from Councilman Nowakowski on Phoenix’s Public Wi-Fi Expansion<div class="ExternalClass35D13CBF18BE4993BF004CEF04F4B3F1"><html>​“Accessible Wi-Fi, especially during the COVID-19 crisis is vital for our residents, especially those with children navigating through online schooling. Earlier this year, my colleagues and I approved funding to expand the city's public Wi-Fi network to provide free, extended coverage at city facilities. This coverage will go beyond the buildings into the parking lots and public areas and will be available daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The additional internet access for low income families will not only help parents with online medical appointments but will also allow their children the same schooling opportunity as those who already have reliable access. <br><br>I am very proud of the city staff who worked tirelessly this summer to make this possible, and hope this service provides some relief to families. I will continue to work with staff to expand Wi-Fi services and provide additional resources to families and residents."<br><br><strong>City of Phoenix facilities offering free Wi-Fi in District 7 are:</strong><br>Desert West Senior Center--6501 W. Virginia Ave.<br>South Mountain Community Center--212 E. Alta Vista Rd.<br>South Phoenix Youth Center--5245 S. 7th St.<br>University Park Recreation Center--1002 W.

Southern Ave.<br>Travis L. Williams Family Services Center--4732 S. Central Ave<br><br><div style="text-align:center;"><strong>Declaración del Concejal Nowakowski Sobre la Expansión de Wi-Fi Público en Phoenix</strong></div><br>“Tener acceso al Wi-Fi, especialmente durante la crisis de COVID-19, es vital para nuestros residentes, especialmente aquellos con niños que navegan por la educación en línea. Mas temprano este año, mis colegas y yo aprobamos fondos para expandir la red pública de Wi-Fi para brindar cobertura gratuita y extendida en las instalaciones de la ciudad. Esta cobertura irá más allá de los edificios, hacia los estacionamientos y áreas públicas, y estará disponible todos los días de 8 a.m. a 9 p.m. El acceso adicional al internet para familias de bajos ingresos no solo ayudará a los padres con citas médicas en línea, sino que también permitirá a sus hijos la misma oportunidad de educación que aquellos que ya tienen acceso confiable.<br><br>Estoy muy orgulloso del personal de la ciudad que trabajó incansablemente este verano para hacer esto posible, y espero que este servicio brinde alivio a las familias. Continuaré trabajando con nuestro personal para expandir los servicios de Wi-Fi y brindar recursos adicionales para familias y residentes."<br><br> <br><strong>Las instalaciones de la ciudad de Phoenix que ofrecen Wi-Fi gratis en el Distrito 7 son:</strong><br>El Centro para Personas Mayores Desert West--6501 W.
