Cities say linking municipal buildings with fiber-optic cable will allow government employees to telecommute, reducing traffic congestion. It would also help to synchronize traffic lights, they say.
When officials in the South Bay wanted to build a network to provide high-speed internet to local government buildings, they asked for money from what seemed an unexpected source: transportation officials.
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments, the joint powers authority that represents 16 cities and portions of Los Angeles County, first asked Metro for funding in February. A group of business and transit groups that had campaigned to support Measure M protested, questioning why Metro would approve a project if the transportation connection was not yet clear.
“If we’re really able to make some changes in terms of how lights are functioning, it’s going to have a dramatic impact on people’s commute times,” said Christian Horvath, the chairman of the South Bay Cities coalition and a Redondo Beach councilman.
