Free internet access in San Juan
Posted: Saturday, May 26, 2007 - 07:57 PM
SAN JUAN (AP) – As of January, San Juan residents who have laptop computers will have free internet access at the public plazas of the capital city.
The initiative of San Juan Mayor Jorge Santini is aimed at getting more people to visit those public spaces.
"We will promote public plazas, revitalizing the tradition of getting together in the town. Old San Juan plazas, including Colón, de Armas and San José, will have free internet access,” the mayor said in a press release.
Santini specified the plazas in Old San Juan will have free internet access in August, becoming the first ones to have the service in the city.
The city hall is expecting that in January the same will happen at the Plaza de la Convalecencia, in Río Piedras; in part of the Universidad Ave. and at the Plaza Antonia Quiñones, Plaza del Ancla and Ventana al Mar, in Condado.
The plan also includes the market places of Santurce and Río Piedras, which will probably have more visitors after the plan comes to live.
"All the plazas will be more crowded, the flow of people will be higher, as well as the sales in and around those places,” Santini said.
The city hall, which did not specify the cost of that project, said it will also establish a plan to reinforce security and install more lamp posts in those places.
